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.
