Experian IdentityWorks plans & pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IdentityWorks Free STALE · 2026-09-02 | $0 | — | Flat monthly | Free tier included with Experian free membership. Provides single-bureau (Experian) credit monitoring and basic dark web surveillance. No identity theft insurance or restoration included. | experian.com |
| IdentityWorks Plus STALE · 2026-06-14 | not priced monthly | — | Flat monthly | Mid-tier paid plan; the monthly price is left blank because current pricing is genuinely unconfirmed. Evidence is conflicting as of 2026-06-14: some 2026 reviews (Security.org, SafeHome) report Experian has consolidated to Basic/Premium/Family with no standalone Plus tier, while other reviews still list a Plus tier at $9.99/mo with dark web surveillance and $500K insurance. The official experian.com page surfaces only the Premium plan price, so no Plus figure can be verified from a primary self-serve source. | experian.com |
| IdentityWorks Premium STALE · 2026-09-26 | $24.99 | — | Flat monthly | Confirmed on official Experian page at $24.99/mo after 7-day free trial. Credit card required to start trial. Includes three-bureau credit monitoring, $1M identity theft insurance, dark web surveillance, social security monitoring. | experian.com |

The figure is unchanged and still stands on the day it was read; only the link the reader follows is corrected, so it no longer bounces through a redirect. Same host, same scheme, and the destination keeps every distinguishing word of the page's own name.

This standing as a plaque
Experian IdentityWorks currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 5 of 7 · Identity Theft Protection. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Experian IdentityWorks moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
