AVG vs. Avast comparison: is either The Best Antivirus on the market?

AVG vs. Avast comparison: is either The Best Antivirus on the market?

After AVG Antivirus was acquired by Avast in 2016, many were left wondering whether there was much sense in keeping these products separate. Especially considering how many issues AVG used to have in the past, and how much better of a product Avast Antivirus seemed to be. There must be a reason why these products haven’t been merged. And that’s what I’m going to find out in this AVG vs Avast comparison. I will put these two antivirus solutions head-to-head and find out which one is better. This time it’s going to be brother against brother.

Both AVG and Avast are directly competing in all pricing brackets. They have free versions with the least amount of features and paid versions with more differences between them. When we look at the complete features suite, we see that AVG antivirus has a slim edge over Avast. Payments protection and device lock are AVG’s exclusives, and Avast doesn’t have an answer for them. Overall, both services go beyond antivirus into the other cybersecurity departments.

0:00 Intro
2:22 Avast vs. AVG features
3:53 Which antivirus is more secure?
5:02  Ease of use
6:01 Customer support
6:34 Which antivirus offers the best value for money?
8:15 Which is the better antivirus?

Final thoughts After Avast and AVG comparison, I can confirm that a single owner truly shines through the services’ similarities. However, taking all the different factors into account, the more robust service is Avast Antivirus.
Not only does it have more features on its free version, even as a paying customer you will get better subscription benefits. Extra touches like the Sandbox mode allow for much better usability options that are just impossible to pull off with AVG.
Having said that, Avast does charge differently based on region, which might make it less appealing, depending on where you are located
