Aura charges $12/month individual, $22/month couples, or $37/month family for an identity protection bundle. The catch? Every single feature in the bundle has a free alternative. Here is how to cancel Aura and build the same protection for $0.
Call 1-855-712-0021. Be prepared for retention attempts — they will likely offer a discounted rate or a free month. If you want to cancel, politely decline and insist on processing the cancellation.
If you signed up within the last 60 days, you are entitled to a full refund. Mention the money-back guarantee when you call or cancel online. After 60 days, you will not receive a prorated refund — your access continues until the end of your billing cycle.
Here is what Aura bundles and the free alternatives for each:
💡 Total cost of free stack: $0/month. The only Aura feature without a free equivalent is the $1M identity theft insurance — which is underwritten by AIG, has extensive exclusions, and very rarely pays out. A credit freeze (free) is more effective protection than insurance.
Aura's biggest selling point is "$1 million identity theft insurance." The reality: this covers out-of-pocket expenses from identity theft (legal fees, lost wages, document replacement). It does NOT reimburse you for stolen money — your bank and credit card companies already do that under federal law. The $1M figure is a marketing number. Actual payouts are rare and small.
Aura has acquired and absorbed multiple identity protection brands: PrivacyGuard, Identity Guard, and others. If you signed up through one of those brands, your account may still be managed through their legacy portals, but cancellation ultimately goes through Aura. Same company, same cancellation process.
Aura bundles free tools and sells them as a subscription. Credit monitoring, VPN, password management, antivirus, and dark web monitoring are all available at no cost from reputable providers. Cancel Aura, spend 20 minutes setting up the free alternatives, and save $144-444 per year.
