Bitdefender Mobile Security & Antivirus

BEST PAID PRO ANDROID SECURITY SUITE.

TRY BEFORE YOU buy with a 14-day free trial, after which Bitdefender Mobile Security & Antivirus costs $19.99 a year. The app stands out thanks to key features not found on most free competitors, including checking your email for account breaches. It also extends security to a smartwatch, and can be used to sound an alarm if you’re separated from your phone. The web security is a cut above most, especially with Chrome, and includes an app locker (with fingerprint support and smart unlock) and privacy advisor. The anti-theft is also above average, with premium features such as mugshots pics, and the ability to listen in on the phone, as well as the usual tracking and wiping options. And importantly, Bitdefender also picked up 100% of malware in AV-Test’s latest comparison.

The Bitdefender Mobile Security & Antivirus app is intuitive to use, and doesn’t have a noticeable impact on battery life, or phone performance. While the competition from free alternatives is stiff, Bitdefender is a great paid option, especially for those with Android wearables.
