Alternatives to cancelling your subscription

If cost is your main concern, you might be able to downgrade to a cheaper plan instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your LifeLock plan

LifeLock offers three main tiers with different levels of protection. You might be able to switch to a lower tier that still meets your needs.

  • LifeLock Standard: Basic identity monitoring

  • LifeLock Advantage: Adds bank and credit card monitoring

  • LifeLock Ultimate Plus: Full protection with all features

Share Your Plan

LifeLock Family plans cover up to 5 family members for a lower per-person cost than individual plans. This might be cheaper if you have multiple people who need identity protection.

Negotiate A Discount On Your Bill

LifeLock sometimes offers retention discounts to customers trying to cancel. Customer service may present promotional pricing or extended trial periods.

Many SAAS and subscription providers are also known to offer cancel discounts. These aren't always predictable.
