Is Aura better than LifeLock?

For alert speed and price, yes — Aura beats LifeLock on both in current tests. LifeLock still has brand recognition but Aura's platform is more modern and more accurate.

What's the cheapest LifeLock alternative that still includes $1M insurance?

IdentityIQ Secure ($9.99/mo) is the lowest-priced tier that still bundles $1M identity theft insurance. WalletHub Premium ($9.95/mo) is comparable.

Do I even need identity theft protection if my credit is frozen?

A freeze blocks new credit accounts but not tax fraud, medical ID theft, or misuse of an existing account. Monitoring adds detection where a freeze doesn't reach.
