- The bundle covers antivirus, device control and mobile protection only; there is no VPN, password manager or identity monitoring.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Falcon Go is CrowdStrike's small-business antivirus: the same agent its big customers run, switched on with sensible defaults, plus control over USB sticks and protection for company phones. It's priced per device, $59.99 a year each, so five devices cost far more than a home suite. And there's no VPN or password manager in it.

- **Value for money: D.** $59.99 a device a year, or $7.99 a month. We judge antivirus on five devices over two years, and that's $599.90, about $25 a month, several times what home suites here cost. The business kit, one console, USB control and Express Support, explains some of it. Renewals are at the then-standard price.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but there's a 15-day free trial, and nothing on record says it wants a card. After that, annual plans can be refunded within 30 days and monthly ones can't.
- **Features: C.** It does the core job fully: machine-learning antivirus on Windows, Mac and Linux, USB device control, and threat protection on iPhone and Android. But it's narrower than the suites here. Firewall management needs Falcon Pro, and there's no VPN, password manager or identity monitoring.
- **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. Protection comes switched on with pre-set policies, there's a step-by-step onboarding guide, and one home screen shows your devices and what was blocked. You do still put the agent on each machine.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, all run from one console, so every device a small office has is covered. No integrations or API are on record, which keeps it at B.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace CrowdStrike Falcon Go you would be making an engine that recognises new malware as it appears. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 11 of the 15 other antivirus apps grade higher. It costs $59.99 a year.

- You could not: An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
