# Which antivirus subscription gives the best value for protecting multiple devices including PC, Mac, phone and tablet under one plan?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hello G2. If you're looking for the best value to cover a mix of devices, including PC, Mac, phone, and tablet, under a single plan, the key question is coverage per dollar across platforms rather than raw detection scores. Here are consumer-friendly, multi-device picks from the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/antivirus">Antivirus</a> category:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/kaspersky-antivirus/reviews"><strong>Kaspersky AntiVirus</strong></a> (4.5/5, 95 reviews) supports Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, and reviewers specifically call it pocket-friendly while praising a clean, easy interface. It bundles extras like payment protection and a VPN.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/360-total-security/reviews"><strong>360 Total Security</strong></a> (4.3/5, 46 reviews) has a genuinely free tier with malware scanning and system optimization, which reviewers love for the price. Two honest caveats: the free version shows pop-up ads and lacks free ransomware protection, and reviewers also flag data-privacy concerns.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/adguard/reviews"><strong>Adguard</strong></a> (4.4/5, 32 reviews) works cross-platform at the DNS level, so reviewers protect phone, laptop, and PC under one setup, blocking ads, trackers, and malicious sites. It's a great value complement, but it's a filter rather than a full AV engine.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/totalav/reviews"><strong>TotalAV</strong></a> (4.0/5, 11 reviews) markets a family, multi-device plan with a bundled VPN and ad blocker, and reviewers find it easy for non-tech users. Although some reviewers mention assertive advertising and automated billing concerns, including refund issues.</li>

&lt;p&gt;Kaspersky&#39;s first year might look good, but what matters is whether year two stays reasonable when the intro discount expires, because that&#39;s when the value story falls apart for households covering four or five devices.&lt;/p&gt;

### Comment 2

&lt;p&gt;Kaspersky AntiVirus would be my pick for a mixed-device household since it covers Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS under the same ecosystem. For me, year-two pricing would be the real value test. A good introductory price matters much less if the renewal cost changes the economics of protecting several devices.&lt;/p&gt;

### Comment 3

&lt;p&gt;Worth counting the devices before comparing plans, since households usually have more than people expect once phones, tablets and an older laptop are included. Kaspersky covering Windows, macOS, Android and iOS under one plan matters more to value than most individual features, because a plan that misses one platform means running two things.&lt;/p&gt;

### Comment 4

The year-two question is the one I&#39;d press on, because in my experience renewal-price complaints are fairly common. The pattern is consistent: first-year pricing on multi-device plans is aggressive everywhere, and the quiet jump at renewal is where the value story falls apart. So I&#39;d compare renewal prices rather than intro prices, and set a reminder to renegotiate or switch before it auto-bills. The billing and refund friction some reviewers describe deserves as much weight as protection scores for a household plan.
