Malwarebytes offers free device scanning alongside paid personal security subscriptions. Current Windows and Mac free access includes selected scans, while real-time and web protection require paid features. Premium Security is available for supported desktop and mobile systems with platform differences. Decide whether the requirement is an occasional cleanup check or an ongoing subscription before comparing it with a complete paid suite.

Malwarebytes pricing considerations
Free scans; paid real-time protection
Compare the selected paid plan, device count and add-ons with the ongoing free scanner. Use the renewal total for any subscription, not just its opening promotion.
Selected Windows and Mac scans are free. Real-time and web protection are paid; do not treat the free scanner as the paid Premium Security suite.
