IdentityForce, run by TransUnion, is built around monitoring and a hands-on recovery service. The UltraSecure plan, at $19.90 per month after a 30-day trial or $199.90 a year, includes 24 x 7 dark web monitoring with risk scores for each hit, a personalized identity safety score and action plan, advanced fraud monitoring, phishing and botnet monitoring, a dedicated restoration specialist, a mobile VPN, PC protection and $1MM of identity theft insurance. UltraSecure+Credit, at $34.90 per month or $349.90 a year, adds 3-bureau credit monitoring and alerts, daily TransUnion reports and scores, quarterly 3-bureau reports and $2MM of insurance. You can cancel at any time and get a pro-rated refund for unused service. The value problem is plain: the entry plan has no credit monitoring and costs more than Aura's Individual plan, which includes 3 bureaus. Credit services also need you to verify your identity first, or they do not switch on.
