Best for small businesses wanting antivirus bundles with optional MDR
ThreatDown sells endpoint security in four bundles, from antivirus with ransomware rollback up to managed response. The homepage puts the cost at about $10 a device a month, the top of this category. Server, mobile, DNS and email protection are all extra.
Who ThreatDown is for
- Fits if you want bundled antivirus for a small business with a path up to managed response
- Works for teams that want ransomware rollback of files changed in the last 7 days
Who ThreatDown is not for
- Pricey if you read the homepage's $10 a device a month, which is the vendor's own figure, not a quoted plan
- Skip it if you need servers or mobile devices covered, as those are paid add-ons
- Not for you if you want exact plan prices: they load from a store script and were not readable
- Watch out: the trial length is not stated on the pages read
- Tight if you want identity threat detection, which appears in the Ultimate bundle only
Why ThreatDown gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyThe homepage says about $10 per device per month, in the dearest tenth of this category, which starts at $8.99. A 3-year purchase takes 20% off.
- DFree plan and trialA free trial is offered but its length is not stated on the pages read, so it earns a D.
- CFeaturesAntivirus, 7-day ransomware rollback, EDR and MDR across the bundles, but Server Protection, Mobile Security, DNS Filtering and Email Security are paid add-ons.
- CEase of useBusiness product with a console and agents to roll out; no store rating is on record and the listing shows setup work, so it sits at the ordinary grade.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWindows, iOS and Android are on record, plus a web console. No Mac or Linux endpoint is listed and no integrations.

Keep ThreatDown, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace ThreatDown 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: 43 of the 56 other antivirus apps grade higher.
What you could not
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. ThreatDown’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is ThreatDown?
ThreatDown is the business endpoint security line that grew out of Malwarebytes, managed from a cloud console called Nebula. It is sold in four bundles, Core, Advanced, Elite and Ultimate, that run from next-generation antivirus up to managed detection and response with identity threat detection.
Worth knowing
- The per-device prices load from a store script and could not be read, so no plan prices are listed here; the page shows a Devices and Years selector.
- The homepage puts the cost at about $10 per device per month, which is the vendor's own figure and not a quoted plan price.
- The pricing page offers a 20% saving for a 3-year purchase.
- Server Protection, Mobile Security, DNS Filtering and Email Security are paid add-ons, not part of the bundles.
