Been using Avast Internet security for a few years now and overall it works really well and does what it says on the tin. There’s a few extra features I’d like but overall top marks.
My renewal is due soon and I tend to cover 3 PC’s for either 2 or 3 yrs. However, I’ve noticed that the pricing structure is prohibitive for 3 yrs and does not make sense. I should point out that this is even before the current discounted offer.
For example, in dollars the price for 3 PC’s was:
One year: $49.99
Two years: $69.99
Three years: $139.99
That does not make sense. If you buy two years then $69.99 is a fair discount for buying into an extra year. But why would I choose 3 yrs at $139.99 ? If it was $99.99 then that would be more in line with a sensible pricing structure that values the customer into buying in longer term.
Ah, I hear you say, those first two prices have extra discount applied to them. On some products that might be the case but why is no discount applied to 3 yrs ?
The same also applies to the current discounts that have become available:
Up to 3 Pc’s, 1yr: $34.99
Up to 3 Pc’s, 2yr: $64.99
Ok, there some discount there. However, if I want 3 yrs for 3 PC’s then it’s $139.99.
Thats even more than $34.99 x3 which is $104.97
That just does not make sense. Essdentially customers are financially discouraged from buying into 3 yr subscriptions.
