It's a heck of a lot cheaper to just buy all three scores twice a year. My biggest issue is that all the alerts and whatnot that the service is showing is from 2 years ago and nothing recent at all.
Hmmm, here is the message I saw. Maybe that is in reference to you can only get customized alert changes for EQ?
We’ll track three FICO® Scores, one for each credit report, so you’ll always know when it changes. Plus, get a personalized summary of the factors affecting your scores.
When we detect a change to any of your three credit reports or FICO Scores, we’ll alert you within 24 hours via email, text or IOS app. Plus, you can customize your score alerts for Equifax credit data.
We’ll alert you when we detect:
- FICO Score changes
- New accounts
- Account changes
- Inquiries, collections and public records
- Name, address and phone changes
That is what I saw as well, and the rep confirmed it for me.

This is a screenshot of what my dashboard is telling me it monitors when I login to the site.

So, really, if you look at the cost of the service itself plus the cost of the other two scores, you'd still come out better to just pay for all three scores on a quarterly basis than paying for this service PLUS the other two scores.

Hopefully a mod will weigh in shortly.
I think myFico has it all screwed up,because I've also seen the price listed as $19.95 per month (when I signed up) and as $29.95 per month when I went back to the site to login from my desktop. It's not that it's "one location", because that "one place" is literally telling you what you get. I don't necessarily trust a CSR that's trying to upsell something. I don't know what's going on, but I know what the site itself is telling me now that I've bougt the service (which is not what I was promised to receive for $19.95 per month).
I don't know if the programers are high or what.
