What We Like

What We Don't Like

  • Based in the United States: Government agencies could force IDShield, an Oklahoma-based company, to hand over personal information. That's part of the agreement of the Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, and 14 Eyes alliances, which the U.S. is a member of.
  • Clunky Setup: The user experience wasn’t the best when we signed up for IDShield.

Bottom Line

With affordable plans and a free trial period, you can test drive IDShield’s powerful identity protections without any budgetary concerns. If you’re looking for safety at affordable prices, this might be a good option for you.
