Equifax Complete is the bureau's own answer for people who want credit monitoring with some identity protection added. The base plan costs $9.95 per month or $99.95 a year and covers one adult with Equifax credit monitoring and alerts, an Equifax credit report lock and identity restoration services. Premier, at $19.95 per month or $199.95 a year, adds 3-bureau credit features, extra ID theft protection features and personal data removal from more than 100 people search sites. The Family Plan, at $29.95 per month or $299.95 a year, gives 2 adults the Premier features and adds Equifax credit monitoring for 4 kids, and Equifax says the dark web is monitored for your Social Security number. The product pages are thin on insurance limits and other detail compared with Aura or LifeLock, so check the plan terms. Single-bureau monitoring on the base plan is the main limit.
