Key Features
IdentityForce offers all of the important monitoring services, including fraud monitoring, that sends out alerts whenever a credit report inquiry is made whether it’s from a bank, a mortgage company, an auto dealer, a government agency, or anyone else. This is one of the early warning notifications that have helped so many people prevent major damage due to identity theft.
IdentityForce also offers other basics like change of address monitoring, dark web surveillance, and public records monitoring. With a database like this one, IdentityForce is able to scan millions of criminal, court, and public records for any mention of your personal identifying information.

Reviews
Highly-detailed credit monitoring and robust alert system inspires confidence
While we were a little disappointed in the app and IdentityForce’s lack of frills, the attention they paid to their product’s core functionality quickly made us forget about those minor shortcomings. The detail in the credit monitoring alone makes it well worth the price of admission. And let’s not forget about their credit score tracking and restoration services.
Nothing in life is ever 100 percent...right? Wrong.
Not only did IdentityForce monitor all three credit-reporting bureaus, they also offered monitoring for change of address requests, court records, the dark web, and more. This is some of the most comprehensive coverage on the market!
Ranked 1st in Best Identity Theft Protection (tie)
IdentityForce offers identity theft monitoring and identity protection services for businesses and consumers. The company has grown into a top-rated provider, tying for the No. 1 spot on our list of the Best Identity Theft Protection Services of 2022.
IdentityForce easily delivers the most identity-theft-protection bang for your buck
IdentityForce UltraSecure + Credit remains our Editors' Choice because it delivers thorough, comprehensive identity protection and credit monitoring for a reasonable price.
If you’re looking for the most in-depth credit monitoring service, the IdentityForce UltraSecure+Credit is the plan for you. It’s the only one that provides triple-bureau credit monitoring on top of the dark web and fraud alerts that come standard with both plans.
Real-time protection against a myriad of identity fraud attacks
IdentityForce is a powerful theft protection app that covers all of the bases - credit check monitoring, bank fraud, malware and ad blocking, and even provides $1 million in insurance protection against loss wages and fraudulent purchases. However, the higher tier plan when paid monthly gets expensive.
IdentityForce offers two levels of protection for consumers—the UltraSecure identity theft protection plan and the UltraSecure+Credit plan. Both plans include all the identity theft protection features you would expect, but the UltraSecure+Credit plan also includes credit-related features like monitoring and reports from all three credit bureaus.
Comprehensive identity and credit monitoring at a reasonable price
IdentityForce offers an incredible value for identity theft and credit monitoring. It comes with a laundry list of features, including up to $1 million in insurance coverage and 24/7 support.
IdentityForce is a bit on the expensive side, but it offers very comprehensive protection with a well-designed interface. It doesn’t leave customers wanting by hiding value-added perks on top shelf premium tiers, with the exception of credit reports. On the downside, the insurance policy doesn’t compensate stolen funds, and I encountered a couple issues with the website and dashboard.
