Questions about each
NordVPN Threat Protection
How much does NordVPN Threat Protection cost?+
The monthly plan runs at €14.99, and the longest term brings that down to €3.49 a month over 27 months. The first year is billed at €65.88 to €103.08, with a 30 day money back period attached.
What does it cost at renewal?+
The headline long-term rate covers the first term, then the renewal price runs €139.08 to €269.88 for a comparable term. Set against a first year of €65.88 to €103.08, that step is large, so anyone staying several years should weigh both figures before committing.
SpyHunter
What does SpyHunter cost at entry and at renewal?+
SpyHunter entry for the paid option sits at $35.70, while renewal sits at $79.98. That gap matters when comparing entry appeal with longer term cost. Review both figures together before choosing, since renewal applies after the opening term ends and shapes overall value.
Does SpyHunter offer a free version?+
Yes, a free version is offered alongside paid SpyHunter coverage under free. That option lets people explore core protection before committing to entry at $35.70. Paid renewal at $79.98 applies only after moving to the paid option and completing the opening term.
