Our verdict on each
Norton
Norton packs a VPN, password manager, parental controls and identity monitoring into a single subscription, so it suits households already paying Gen Digital for security. The Deluxe bundle opens at $19.99 for a first year, and the renewal figure is what decides the real cost.
WEBROOT master
WEBROOT suits small households wanting antivirus across desktop and mobile with extras covering password manager and support through email and phone available for daily care. Coverage allows 3 devices across Windows, macOS and Android under household allowance of Up to 3 devices while ownership rests with ST ASU PTE.LTD. for clear accountability.

Pros and cons
Norton
Pros
- Bundle plans put the VPN, password manager and parental controls on one subscription, as vpn, password manager and parental controls shows.
- The no-logs policy carries an external review, recorded as VerSprite, July 2025 (Technical Privacy Impact Assessment).
- Device allowance of 10 to 20 runs above the site median of 7.
Cons
- Renewal sets the real cost: $49.99 to $99.99 on renewal against a first year of $19.99 on the Deluxe bundle.
- Support runs on phone, help centre and community, so email and live chat sit outside the listed channels.
- Split tunnelling is absent from kill switch, multi hop and obfuscation, which lists a kill switch, multi hop and obfuscation.
WEBROOT master
Pros
- Covers Windows, macOS and Android, giving shared desktop and mobile use within a household subscription.
- Bundles password manager so login storage sits beside antivirus cover for daily convenience.
- Support through email and phone gives email plus direct phone contact for guided help.
Cons
- Free plan: no, so ongoing protection calls for a paid subscription with budgeting from the start.
- Free version: no, so there is no lasting no cost tier for continuous cover after signup.
- Device allowance of 3 devices sits below Acronis at 5 devices, which can limit larger households.
Who each suits
Norton
Who it suits
- Households wanting a VPN, a password manager, parental controls and identity monitoring on one bill
- Families with several phones, laptops and smart TVs sharing an account of 10 to 20 devices
- Existing subscribers to the Deluxe bundle paying $19.99 for a first year who want the VPN added
Who should look elsewhere
- Apple Inc., at $0.99 a month, for readers who want a standalone service instead of a bundle
- ESET Brasil, covering 3 to 25 devices, for households shopping mainly on device count
- Sinew Software Systems, at $1.99 a month, for passwords alone
WEBROOT master
Who it suits
- Households sharing cover across desktop and mobile who prefer Acronis alternatives with smaller device needs.
- Readers wanting bundled login storage who might otherwise pick ESET Brasil for different device ranges.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers wanting lasting no cost cover should consider Apple Inc. built in options, since Free plan: no and Free version: no.
- Readers covering many systems should consider Acronis, since WEBROOT allows 3 devices while Acronis allows 5 devices.

Questions about each
Norton
How much is Norton at entry, and can I try it first?+
The Norton VPN plan starts at €2.08 a month, and the longest term runs 24 months. A free trial of 7 days is offered on downloads, and the money back window of 60 days covers a longer evaluation on a paid plan.
What does Norton cost when the subscription renews?+
Renewal is where the price moves. The first year of the Deluxe bundle is listed at $19.99, while renewal prices run $49.99 to $99.99. A separate yearly Norton Family plan sits at $49.99, so weigh the renewal figure against what follows the introductory period.
WEBROOT master
How many devices can you cover with WEBROOT?+
Coverage allows 3 devices under a household allowance described as Up to 3 devices. That scope suits a compact group sharing protection across supported systems. Larger groups should compare with Acronis at 5 devices before committing to a subscription.
Which operating systems does WEBROOT support?+
WEBROOT lists support for Windows, macOS and Android. That mix spans desktop systems plus mobile systems, so you can keep shared protection aligned across home hardware. Confirm that your current operating system release remains supported before you purchase.
