I have been a paid member of Avast (Premium and its predecessors) for several years.
My subscription is coming up for renewal and the price has really leaped up!
I currently utilise Avast for 3 PCs and paid £45 last year.
Now I see that for 1 machine only its £60 or up to 10 for £75.
This means that I would need to pay 66% more than last year to secure my 3 PCs. Incredible ???
Disappointingly, I will now be looking at alternatives as this is madness.
Personally as an Avast Free(loader) user, were I to purchase I certainly wouldn’t use the auto renewal/payment as the charge is 100%.
There used to be a renewal discount some time ago, now it seems to be an offer on first purchase then 100% on renewal. Frequently there were discount offers from within the User Interface to renew for those not on auto renewal.
This is also an issue with consolidation into one paid product and 1 or 10 licenses, who the heck needs 10 (a very large family, 5pcs 5mobiles, etc). Personally I feel there needs to be a more flexible intermediate option/s 3, 5 licenses, etc.
Absolutely, I couldn’t agree more!
For a long time, I simply haven’t even considered the alternatives, but with this approach I have little choice.
Good to know its not just me thinking that at very least.
i had the same. phone their call centre (if they are working) and explain and they offered a decent discount.
mine came to £83 for a two year licence but only for 1 device. haggle and they usually drop it even more.
You could cancel the Auto Payment/Renewal and see if you do get a renewal offer in the User Interface as it closes on the renewal date.
