![]() Norton 360 is similar to Bitdefender’s Total Security, which, as you can see in our Bitdefender Antivirus review, is the company’s all-in-one security suite. The plans from “select” and up include a version of Norton 360 for free with your package, offering protection ranging from five to unlimited devices. The identity theft protection features aren’t the draw of LifeLock, though. However, there’s a problem when Dashlane can offer more features for $10 per month and can do so with an included password manager.įor a more direct comparison, ID Watchdog offers tri-bureau credit monitoring and dark-web monitoring for $10 less than LifeLock’s “ultimate plus” plan (read our ID Watchdog review). We’re willing to spend more money to get LifeLock, we don’t have any issues there. LifeLock also offers these features, but at a much higher price. Meanwhile, Dashland’s top-tier “premium plus” plan - which costs the same as LifeLock’s “standard” plan - even includes real-time credit monitoring and $1 million in identity theft insurance. As you can see in our Dashlane review, a “premium” subscription, includes dark-web monitoring, which LifeLock doesn’t offer on the lower end of things. What’s worse, though, is that the “standard” plan is pitiful compared to other, cheaper identity theft services.įor example, Dashlane, the top-ranked password manager in our password manager reviews, also comes with a small amount of identity theft protection. The top-of-the-line “ultimate plus” plan is packed full of features, but that makes the cheaper plans feel like less-than options.įor instance, LifeLock’s most inexpensive plan, “standard,” comes with a $25,000 stolen-funds reimbursement, identity alerts, social security alerts and single-bureau credit monitoring.Īlthough it’s not a bad package for $9.99 per month, it’s pitiful when compared to its “ultimate plus” plan, which offers $1 million in coverage, tri-bureau monitoring, Norton 360 for up to unlimited devices, bank alerts and more. LifeLock withholds many of its features for its upper-tier plans, which we’ll get into more in the “pricing” section below. We’ll give our verdict at the end, which will dictate whether LifeLock earns a spot in our best identity theft protection guide. In this LifeLock review, we’re going to take a look at this familiar identity theft protection service, covering how easy it is to sign up for consumers, what it’ll cost them and what features are included. Most LifeLock plans now come bundled with Norton 360. ![]() No matter, Symantec made the purchase to prop up Norton’s sales, which seems to have worked. Symantec Chief Executive Greg Clark claimed the acquisition was in response to Norton’s falling sales, which he attributed to “declines in PC market share.”īased on our Norton Security review, we would venture to say the declining sales are in response to a lackluster product (Norton failed to make it on our best antivirus software list). LifeLock is one of the most recognizable identity theft protection services, so much so that Symantec - which develops and distributes antivirus giant, Norton - acquired it in 2016 to the tune of $2.3 billion.
