How to decide
No overall winner declared
We only name an overall pick after verified testing. Until then, choose by fit using the scenario tiles, and finish free freezes/MFA first. Price checks are not protection scores.
Free remedies before either paid plan
- Freeze credit files where available and set fraud alerts if you suspect exposure.
- Lock down email with a unique password and MFA, most identity workflows start there.
- Review bank and card alerts; enable transaction notifications.

Final verdict
Neither product is declared an overall winner. After freezes and MFA: choose Aura Individual $12/mo annual when you want tracked monitoring with an Aura purchase link and will use suite extras such as unused-account cleanup or credit-lock habits; choose LifeLock Core $124.99/yr first-year diligence on the official site when brand-known Norton/LifeLock research without a commercial CTA is the job. Broker-removal volume belongs on Aura vs Incogni, not here. Re-check both USD captures same-day. Affiliate commissions do not decide the outcome. Verified starting prices appear below when available.
