Our Overall Rating: 4.1 / 5 (Excellent)

WalletHub is one of the better free credit reporting applications. The main differentiator here is the daily credit score and credit report. As far as we know, no other free credit reporting service does this. The company also does a really good job showing you in a clear, personalized, and easy to understand way exactly what factors are contributing to your credit score. However, when compared to applications like Mint which get into the minute transaction details of all your accounts, WalletHub is more general and big picture. Be that as it may, the company has an excellent reputation among users and its real time email, text, and mobile app alerts are particularly handy.

Credit Score & Reports

Report Details and Frequency - 4 / 5

WalletHub is the only online credit reporting service we are aware of that allows you to monitor changes to your score and report on a daily basis for free. Most services, especially free services, will update you monthly or quarterly. This is of particular interest to customers wanting to break down how their activities affect their credit in the most minute detail. WalletHub provides you with your TransUnion report, so if you want to monitor your Experian and Equifax score you'll have to look elsewhere. Additionally, as with so many online credit services, WalletHub uses the VantageScore model, not the official FICO score. Although many lenders are increasingly taking the VantageScore into account, the vast majority still use the official FICO score. This is why patrons of websites like WalletHub and Credit Karma are often surprised to discover the score they got from said website does not match the score used by whichever financial institution they are dealing with to get a loan, buy a car, etc.

Monitoring & Tools

Credit Bureau & Credit Scores - 4.5 / 5

WalletHub is a great, free tool for monitoring your credit report and credit score, and learning about personal finance overall. The company's credit analysis feature is a great way for customers to learn exactly what they need to do to improve their credit score. However, you will not have the ability to see what's happening within individual accounts. WalletHub also does not offer anything in the way of identity theft protection or dispute resolution, but this is common for free services. Finally, WalletHub's alerts are excellent for a free service, as they will notify you immediately of any change to your report via whichever method you select.

WalletHub Plans & Pricing

Plans and Pricing - 4 / 5

WalletHub is a totally free service. You will not need to provide any payment information and the credit inquiries will not affect your score. However, as with similar sites, by signing up you agree that information on your creditworthiness will be passed on to WalletHub's advertisers. You will be offered financial products customized to your credit score and report. If you sign up for one of these products, WalletHub then gets paid.
Free Report Offered?
Yes

WalletHub Reputation & Support

Monitoring and Extra Features - 4 / 5

Although WalletHub has an A grade with the BBB, this is only based on one review. The company, however, has a generally favorable reputation across other review sites and a solid Trustpilot score. Since WalletHub is a genuinely free service (they ask for no credit card or for you to purchase anything) you can never be charged monthly or yearly subscription fees without your consent, a common scam with "free credit report" websites. Customers who praise WalletHub cite the free daily score, free online tools, and handy alerts through text, email, and mobile app.

Hi everyone, I want to appreciate PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for their help. Long story short, I had 3 Amex cards that were all used for business across 2 businesses. Two payments on one of those cards (related to a business that was struggling) was missed in the summer of 2022 which resulted in all 3 cards being cancelled by Amex (the other 2 cards, related to the same business had perfect payment history). That card which was opened in 2019 eventually went into collections and was charged off. Ended up settling the card with a single lump sum payment in the summer of 2023 but was still showing as a charge off on my report. I followed the advice found on this site and I was able to employ... Read More

Truly Genius Hackers exist, I want to introduce PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST to everyone out there for you to get your credit fixed. He’s very kind, he helped me raise my FICO score to 800+ excellent score and let me have hope in life once again. He also helped me remove all the negative items, collections with the late payments as well. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST is the best when it comes to credit repair.

If not for the help of PRIME CREDIT SPECIALIST I wonder what would have become my fate. In My financial history, I had several misnomers that dropped my score down to 485 with lots of enquiries and derogatory items, this happened after I had Covid and lost my job as a result. I was able to contact PRIMECREDITSPECIALIST at GMAIL online after I read lots of positive reviews about them on Internet. PRIME CREDIT SPECIALIST did the magic by boosting my score to high 780s across the credit bureaus. They wiped off the medical bills and the loan debts I had. I will always recommend PRIME to anyone.

Thank you REVOX CREDIT REPAIR for all your help. I got a new credit card limit the sum of $15k with positive tradelines on my credit report in 2 Weeks. He also aided me to raise my credit score over 225 points and wiped off negative items on my credit profile. My life is better and easier with no regrets working with him. I have been able to secure a mortgage loan and that has been my dream.

I read something about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST that he fixed and repaired credit reports. I had Chapter 7 BK, 1 auto loan with Wells Fargo. My scores were 560, 563 and 552. I got in touch with him, and he started the repair which took him 9 days. He proved me wrong by sending me a link to confirm his work done and I must confirm it myself on Experian and Credit Karma. I got a congratulatory email from Experian that my score went up. My scores boost up to 811, 809, 802, all my scores are above 800’s. He also helped me apply for a credit card with high limits with several banks. I’m so happy and can’t thank him enough for the life changing results.

I want to testify about PRIME CREDIT SPECIALIST, I had several challenges acquiring my own house due to a low credit score but when I came across him, he boosted my credit score and help erased negatives on my Credit report

There was a time, I was a credit disaster, I knew absolutely nothing about how credit works. I’d pay bills late thinking paying late was better than not paying at all. To be honest, I didn’t even know negatives lasted on your reports for 7 years. Why did I pay late? Because at the time, I’d think I needed to buy something shiney and then pay bills. To further my reckless behaviors, I had my house foreclosed on. To be honest, I don’t know why I checked my credit, which ultimately led me to this site where I found PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, but I’m glad I did, reading as much testimonies as I could. My starting score was (low 500’s). All thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, as of today,... Read More

Hi there, everyone, I’m John, please to meet you all. I work as a security with a fair rent since I live with a family who doesn’t want me to live alone and have a good paying job. My goal is to build a good credit score to get a good credit card. In April I had 140 dollars or so collections from a gym saying I never canceled my membership. I wasn’t getting charged the monthly fee for it. So, I randomly go on credit karma and see the collections. Few days after I contacted PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, they increased my score to 809 and improved my credit profile by removing the collections, charge off and late payments. I just saw today it says no more derogatory on my credit Karma. My... Read More

Are you in desperate need of a credit fix? In order to qualify for a mortgage or an auto loan. I strongly recommend Prime Credit Repair, I had a fantastic and amazing experience working with him. He helped wiped off all negative items from my FICO report, and FICO score rose to 790s across all three bureaus.

Improving my credit with the help of PRIME CREDIT REPAIR was the fastest and most Convenient. I thought of him as a con man, then he proved me wrong by improving on my credit profile. He did a CHEX system fix, increased my credit score and cleared all outstanding debt worth $88000 from profile. All I did was to inbox him through his personal email I got from other good reviews about his service. He replied and took care of all my credit issues in less than 3 weeks. All Thanks to him
