Compare between PC Matic and other vendors

PC Matic provides antivirus and system optimization services designed to block malware before it runs. They use application allowlisting to prevent unapproved programs from executing, and they combine that with features like automated maintenance, driver updates, and cleanup tools to keep devices running efficiently.

Their whitelist defense system, known as application allowlisting, only permits known, verified programs to run. Anything not already approved by their security team is automatically blocked until reviewed. This method helps prevent new or unknown threats from slipping through, though it may occasionally stop legitimate apps that haven't yet been added to their list.

They offer three annual plans: $50 for five devices, $100 for ten devices with added features like VPN and cloud backup, and $250 for unlimited devices with identity protection. Users can also add their Support Unlimited plan for $100 per year. Considering everything they include, many customers see substantial overall value in their pricing.

Yes, they support both Android and iOS devices under any active subscription. Their mobile protection includes antivirus capabilities, though it’s more limited than their desktop version. Still, it’s a valuable way to extend protection across multiple platforms, especially in households with mixed devices.

PC Matic doesn’t include a password manager in any plan, but their Complete and Ultimate tiers come with a VPN for secure and private browsing. Users who want secure password storage may need to pair their service with a dedicated tool.
