What it is
Identity Guard is a paid identity-protection service with apps for Android and iOS. Listed protections include dark-web, bank-account, SSN, and account-takeover monitoring, plus identity restoration, identity-theft insurance, and data-breach notifications. Premium credit protection includes three-bureau credit monitoring; online and device security includes safe browsing and a password manager. Plans include a U.S.-based customer care team, and fraud agents and support are available 24/7/365. Family plans cover five adults and unlimited children, though child members receive only online account and SSN monitoring. Annual plans have a 60-day money-back guarantee for eligible purchases made through the website or customer support. Pricing varies across plans and promotions: listed annual Value plans include $8.99 a month, while a separate first-year annual promotion lists $4.49 a month and renews at $107.88 a year. Other listed plan prices range across individual and family tiers. Identity Guard was founded in 1996.
