# 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>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Which one-plan setup are you using to cover the household, and did the renewal price stay reasonable in year two?</p>

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.
