What We Like

What We Don't Like

  • Free plan doesn’t have enough protection
  • Lackluster customer support
  • Logging of information like IP addresses, operating system versions, and wireless carriers

Bottom Line

Experian IdentityWorks is a good choice if you’re looking for iron-clad monitoring of all your financial and personal data. Experian’s premium individual plan costs a bit more than what we’re used to paying, and customer support has been shaky in the past, but the family plan may be a good option for households that are serious about keeping their sensitive details off the dark web.
