Regardless of its lack of features and its lack of value for money, Avira Prime is a great antivirus software for Macs. This is more of a reflection of the restrictions posed by the Apple operating systems with Avria working within the parameters provided to them. This also translates to Windows and Mac-the former offers privacy setting optimisation and software and driver updates. iOS only offers Unlimited VPN, password management, security for iOS and QR code scanning. Compared to iSO the Android version offers more. For example, the Android version of Prime includes network protection and antivirus protection. In terms of features the Mac version and subsequent iOS version of Avira Prime comes with less than its Windows and Android counterparts. This also means that if users have six or seven devices, they have to pay for the next plan up to cover all devices. An annual subscription for Avira Prime for five devices is $99.99 compared to 25 devices priced at $129.99. For starters, for people who have less than five devices they are paying only approximately $30 less for protection for up to five rather than for 25 devices.
