Fit Score measures fit for a small-business buyer from public evidence, not absolute protection. Lab tests: filled = result within 18 months, outlined = older, dotted = no public result. Prices are list, per seat per year at the fleet size selected; Microsoft is licensed per user. “Min N” means the smallest purchase is N seats; “Via sales” means that fleet size is above the vendor's online maximum.

What changed
Full changelog ›- RECHECK6 products prices re-verified: 6 with seat-count prices.
- CORRECTIONWebroot Business Endpoint Protection removed the "Sale price" promotion, which was $27.60 per device per year at 10 to 50 devices and $25.20 per device per year at 100. The online cart has shown no items since mid-October and the product page now redirects to OpenText, so the sale could not be re-verified; the list price of $30.00 per device per year stands.
- RECHECK8 products prices re-verified: 5 with seat-count prices, 3 confirmed quote-only.
- PROMOTIONAvast Ultimate Business Security vendor promotion recorded: $45.42 a seat against $56.77 list (−20%).
- PROMOTIONBitdefender GravityZone Business Security Premium vendor promotion recorded: $61.60 a seat against $88.00 list (−30%).
- LAB RESULTAV-Test, August 2026 Avast, Microsoft and Sophos scored 6.0 out of 6 for protection.
