I'll briefly summarize those shared features here. This utility shares all the features of the free Avast Security for Mac. On the Mac, the free edition has all the same features except for Ransomware Shield and Wi-Fi intruder detection, which I'll detail below. Things look better when you consider that $20 more gets you 10 licenses that you can use on your Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices.Įven at that low per-device price, you get more from Avast on other platforms. Price-wise, Avast seems on the high end, at $69.99 per year for one license.
Bitdefender, ESET Cyber Security for Mac, Kaspersky, and Malwarebytes all fit this profile. The most common pricing plan for Mac antivirus products runs $39.99 per year for one license or $59.99 for three. Upsells that may be bearable in free products (companies have to make money somehow) are much less tolerable in apps you've already paid for. Instead of connecting, it suggested I buy a license for $3.89 per month. All went well, until I clicked the button to connect. Note that the latter is a rebranded version of TrackOFF Basic, which Avast acquired last year.Īnother prompt led me to install Avast SecureLine VPN. For example, the main window sometimes displays a banner pointing out the danger of advertising trackers, linking to several pages of information and culminating in an invitation to buy Avast AntiTrack for $3.99 per month. The Premium edition is that upgrade, but that doesn't mean upsell pages are gone.
Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. ( See how we test everything we review (Opens in a new window).)Īs I mentioned in my review of Avast's free macOS product, clicking various options takes you to an upgrade page.
