What Avira Prime is
Avira Prime combines cybersecurity, online privacy, and device performance tools in one paid subscription. It supports Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, with plans covering five or 25 devices. The Prime 5 devices plan costs $109.99 a year, while Prime 25 devices costs $134.99 a year; both are billed annually. Each includes antivirus protection, advanced ransomware protection, an unlimited-data VPN, password management, software updating, and device optimization.
