IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Any credit scores, score changes or available plus points shown or inferred are estimates only. Individual results may vary, and results are not guaranteed.
1Average point changes are based on historical data. Individual results may vary and are not guaranteed.
2Calculation Methodology: Our savings estimates are derived from historical internal data, analyzing subscribers' credit reports for increased scores in two categories: new auto and new mortgage financings. Assumptions include precise credit score reporting, consistent correlations between score ranges and financing rates, uniform loan terms (except interest rates), steady interest rates over the loan term, and consistent borrowing behaviors. Note that our estimates rely on accurate credit reporting, average loan data, and current interest rates, but may not account for individual interest rate variations or significant shifts in borrowing and repayment habits. We assumed a conversion from VantageScore® v3.0 to FICO® v8.0, verified by an official FICO® v8.0 calculator. Our calculation is subject to change without notice.
3ScoreBuilder is an individual communications tool using our patented Action button where all requests taken by an individual are sent direct-to-creditor customer service.
ScoreBoost is a payment and spending simulation based on credit utilization from TransUnion®, Experian® and Equifax®.
While free credit scores are helpful, they only show you one small piece of your financial picture. SmartCredit® goes far beyond providing a score. It gives you the tools, protections, and actionable guidance needed to actually change and protect your credit and identity.
With SmartCredit®, you’re not just seeing your score; you’re gaining:
In short, a free score tells you what your credit is. SmartCredit® shows you how to maximize it, how to protect it, and how to keep your personal data safe, all in a single, affordable platform.
No. Any update to your Smart Credit Report® or to your 3B Report and Scores is a personal inquiry or a "Consumer Inquiry." It does not appear on your credit report as a hard or soft inquiry and does not harm your credit score in any way.
Some members see results within days, others it can take 30-90 days or longer. It all depends on your credit profile and the actions you take.
We have annual independent on-site audits to ensure we maintain appropriate security measures. Your information is secured and encrypted.
We are certified to an SOC2 type 2 standard. In addition, we employ an independent 3rd party to verify the safety and integrity of our data and systems.
We are PCI Level One DSS certified for safe processing of credit/debit transactions.
The data for the Smart Credit Report® is derived from TransUnion®.

SmartCredit® stands apart because it combines the capabilities of several standalone services into one powerful, affordable platform. Instead of paying for separate subscriptions to manage your privacy, protect your identity, and maximize your credit, you get everything in one place.
Our PrivacyMaster® feature provides the type of personal-data removal service that other companies typically charge a full monthly subscription for on its own around $15-$20/mo.
SmartCredit® also includes identity-theft protection and insurance that comparable providers offer at prices starting around $12 per month. On top of that, you receive a complete DIY credit-maximizing system with tools to track, build, and manage your score, something that is usually sold separately as well.
When you add up what similar services cost individually, consumers often spend more than $80 each month. SmartCredit® delivers all of these capabilities, privacy protection, identity-fraud safeguards, and credit tools in one unified platform for a fraction of that price.
In short, SmartCredit® consolidates multiple categories of services into a single, easy-to-use membership, saving you time, money, and simplifying your financial life.
The Build membership includes a 3 Bureau report every month. With the Protect plan, you get access to all the features SmartCredit® offers, and you can purchase the 3 Bureau report a la carte as needed for a small fee.
Your credit score is the Vantage 3.0 Credit Score jointly created by Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. It is the #1 competing credit score to FICO.
You’re not alone—many of our clients have felt exactly the same. This is why we offer a $1 trial so you can test the service yourself first before you commit to the monthly membership. You can cancel within your trial period and you will not be billed further. Additionally, you can cancel anytime after your trial ends and billing will stop for the subsequent billing cycle
