*** IdentityForce offers Credit monitoring but this option is only available for its more expensive plan UltraSecure + Credit. This is certainly surprising since credit fraud is the major reason why personal identity theft occurs. Most personal identity companies offer this in their basic or entry-level plans which might be a huge turn down for cost-conscious buyers.

IdentityForce received particularly high marks in the Prevention, Detection, and Resolution categories of Javelin’s assessment.
Bottom Line
IdentityForce provides excellent personal identity protection services that include everything from monitoring to resolution. It provides identity threat alerts related to current security breaches. It also offers its clients Social Security number monitoring, which alerts customers if there’s an unfamiliar name, alias, or address associated with their Social Security number which could indicate fraud. Unlike some of its competitors, all of the company's identity restoration specialists are physically in the US. Customers can access their information through the IdentityForce app. Its investment account alerts are an innovative feature that few of their competitors offer.
It should be noted, though, that credit-related services are only available in their top-tier plan.
