Is LifeLock worth it in 2026?

LifeLock renews at full price and is easy to forget behind a bundled Norton charge. At roughly $282 a year, whether LifeLock is worth it comes down to one question: do you actually use it?

Worth it if…
  • You use it most weeks.
  • It's your only service in this category.
  • The value clearly beats the $282/yr.
Cancel it if…
  • You can't recall the last time you used it.
  • You also pay for Norton 360 or McAfee or Ring Protect.
  • It started as a free trial you forgot about.
Before you commit $282/yr

Annual memberships: full refund if requested within 60 days of purchase, and again within 60 days of each annual renewal charge. Monthly: refund only within 14 days of purchase. Refunds must be requested through Contact us or Member Services & Support. One route people miss: if a company that suffered a data breach is giving you free identity theft protection, LifeLock will pro-rate a refund for the days left in your term regardless of how long ago you enrolled.
