Questions about each
Avira
What does Avira cost in the first year, and what happens at renewal?+
The annual antivirus plan is €47.95 for the first year and renews at €87.95. Monthly VPN billing is €5.95, and the long-term VPN plan runs €4.00. The step up at renewal is the part worth budgeting for if you stay subscribed.
Is there a free Avira version?+
Yes. Avira offers a free version of the antivirus, and the password manager has a free plan as well. The free VPN is capped at 500 MB/month data (Phantom VPN free), so it suits light use rather than everyday browsing. The free tiers give you a way to sample the products before paying.
LastPass US LP
Is there a free version of LastPass?+
Yes. A free plan is available and includes 1 of storage. It covers the same Windows, macOS and Linux range as the paid tiers, so you can start at no cost and move up later if the limits get in the way.
What does the free trial cover?+
The paid tier can be tried for 30. That window sits alongside the free plan, so you can compare what a paid vault adds before committing. Trial accounts use the same AES-256 encryption with PBKDF2 hashing and SHA-256 salting as every other tier.
