McAfee+ includes identity theft protection that’s roughly parallel to LifeLock, but not at its Premium tier.

Those three levels also give you identity protection for one, two, or five individuals. In testing, Aura’s device-level security hasn’t exhibited the best protective qualities in our testing, but it certainly offers quantity-10, 20, or 50 device licenses for $144, $264, or $444 per year. This service’s top tier costs $701.88 per year and gives you protection for six devices, and identity monitoring for your family, defined in this case as you, your partner, and up to five minor children.Īura is an interesting service, owned by the same company that publishes the widely used Hotspot Shield VPN. As for IDX Complete, it starts at $355.32 per year for three devices and one identity. It also extends identity protection to your whole family, meaning you, your partner, and any number of minor children. Upping that to $359.40 per year lets you install protection on 15 devices. With IDShield, $179.40 per year lets you protect three devices and one identity. IDShield and IDX Complete each have just two pricing tiers. Bitdefender Ultimate’s top-tier edition goes for $239.99 per year and offers significant enhancements in identity theft features and payouts. For example, Bitdefender Ultimate Security costs $179.99, which gets you coverage for 10 devices, VPN access with no bandwidth limits, and one identity. But when you compare it with other products that combine device security with identity theft protection, Norton’s prices aren’t out of line. Bitdefender Total Security gives you 10 licenses for $99.99 per year, for example, as do the top-tier suites from Kaspersky, Total Defense, and Vipre. Yes, that’s on the high side for a security suite. But on the Norton site, you currently find it’s a $179.99 subscription with 10 device security licenses, 10 VPN licenses, and 250GB of storage for backups. That package costs $149.99 per year, $40 more than plain Norton 360 Deluxe. If you purchase it through the LifeLock website, you get the familiar five-license package, which also includes five VPN licenses and 100GB of storage for your online backups. Pricing Norton 360 With LifeLock Select isn’t as easy as it once was. Norton offers a broader collection of identity protection features than many, though you’ll pay extra if you want every last feature. Norton 360 Deluxe is an Editors’ Choice security suite, and your subscription also gets you full-scale licenses for Norton’s VPN along with 100GB of online storage for your backups. Match that history with Norton’s long-time device security success and you’ve got Norton 360 With LifeLock Select, a winning combination. It’s been around since 2005 and has had plenty of time to mature. When you think of identity theft remediation, chances are good you think of LifeLock.
