Avast adds free 30-day trial to Small Office Protection, no payment needed
What happened
Between the Oct 19, 2026 and Oct 26, 2026 captures of Avast's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Avast Small Office Protection added a "Try it for 30 days (No payment needed)" trial option alongside the existing Subscribe now purchase buttons. Previously only immediate-payment subscription was offered for this product; a separate no-payment 30-day trial already existed for a different Avast business tier and is unchanged. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Avast Essential Business Security at $39.21, Avast Premium Business Security at $49.81, Avast Ultimate Business Security at $60.41, Avast Small Office Protection at $139.99 and Avast Business Antivirus for Linux at $259.99.
This is the first pricing-page change Pulse has recorded for Avast. Avast has been tracked since 2026-06-19.
In the same window NordVPN, Corbado, Dropzone AI, Clerk and Automox also changed their Cybersecurity & Identity Management pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
