Free Alternatives for Every Aura Feature

Credit monitoring: Credit Karma (free — TransUnion + Equifax scores and reports)
VPN: Proton VPN (free tier — no data limits, Swiss privacy)
Password manager: Bitwarden (free — open source, works everywhere)
Antivirus: Windows Defender (built-in, excellent detection rates) or Malwarebytes Free
Dark web monitoring: HaveIBeenPwned.com (free — email breach alerts)
Credit freeze: Free at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion)

💡 The Only Unique Feature: $1M Insurance

The $1M identity theft insurance (underwritten by AIG) is the one thing you can't easily replicate for free. But consider: identity theft insurance rarely pays out, and many homeowner's insurance policies already include identity theft coverage. Check your existing insurance before paying Aura for this.

DIY Identity Protection (Free)

Freeze your credit at all three bureaus (free, prevents new account fraud)
Set up fraud alerts at one bureau (they share it with the other two)
Monitor Credit Karma for score changes or new accounts
Check HaveIBeenPwned.com for email breaches
Use a password manager (Bitwarden) with unique passwords everywhere
Enable 2FA on all financial accounts

This free setup provides better protection than most paid identity theft services because credit freezes actually prevent fraud, while monitoring services only detect it after the fact.

If You Still Want Paid Protection

Zander Insurance: $6.75/month — cheaper, recommended by Dave Ramsey
IdentityForce: $9/month — Equifax-owned, solid monitoring
Check your employer: Many employers offer free identity theft protection as a benefit
