Questions about each
Surfshark One (Antivirus)
What does Surfshark One cost at the start and after renewal?+
The first-year price is €75.33, and the monthly option is listed at €2.49. Set the opening figure against the group median of €49.95. What a renewal costs depends on the checkout terms, so the total shown at the point of payment is the figure to check.
Does the plan include a VPN or is that bought separately?+
A VPN is bundled into the same plan and listed among the extras, so antivirus and privacy cover arrive on one subscription rather than two. That bundling is what separates this offer from antivirus sold on its own. Around 97.1% of the products in this group also bundle a VPN.
Trend Micro
What does the first year of Maximum Security cost?+
Maximum Security lists $74.95 for the first year, and the same figure appears as the yearly price of $74.95 on that plan. That sits above the €49.95 median first-year price across the brands compared here.
How many devices does a subscription cover?+
Maximum Security covers 3 to 10 depending on the plan, which reaches the 10 upper quartile for device counts among the brands here. A larger household would look at a higher tier rather than this range.
