## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. TotalAV puts antivirus, cleanup tools, a VPN and an ad blocker on one bill, across Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone. It's dear, though: five devices means Internet Security at $129 a year, $258 over two years. And there's no free plan or trial to try it first.

- **Value for money: D.** Five devices means Internet Security, $129 a year for up to 6, so two years cost $258, about $10.75 a month. That's in the dearest tenth of antivirus. Plus covers 4 for $99 a year, and identity protection is a $99 add-on on top.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan, and the pricing page lists no free trial. A refund within 30 days on a yearly plan doesn't count as one.
- **Features: B.** Real-time antivirus, phishing and ransomware protection and cleanup tools on every plan, then Total VPN and Total Adblock, and a password manager on Total Security. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core protection.
- **Ease of use: B.** 4.58 from about 72,000 App Store ratings, well liked but under the 4.7 an A needs.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone and a password vault extension for Chrome and Firefox. No web app, API or integration list on record, so it stops at B.

These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from TotalAV's own pages on 17 October 2026, and its App Store rating. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace TotalAV 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: 13 of the 14 other antivirus apps grade higher. It costs $99 a year.

- You could make: Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- You could not: Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private.
- You could not: A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- You could not: Deleting system files without breaking anything.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
