About TotalAV
You have seen the ads for a low first-year price. The software is real and reasonably good, with system-cleanup extras and a usable interface aimed at beginners. The honest picture is the pricing: the first-year and renewal figures in the pricing block below are read on the vendor page with a date, and the cancellation flow is more work than it should be. If you buy it, disable auto-renewal the same day. At its renewal price, Bitdefender and Norton are simply better products.
TotalAV pricing
TotalAV costs $8.25 per month, or $99 per year on the Plus (per year) plan. The top plan, Total Security (per year), costs $149 per year. List prices on annual billing. Paying monthly usually costs more.

What does TotalAV cost after the first year?
TotalAV costs $99 for the first year and $99 a year from the second year on the TotalAV Plus (4 devices) plan, so the price does not change at renewal. Both amounts were printed on totalav.com when we read the page. Auto-renewal can be switched off in your TotalAV account; the vendor’s own instructions are on its support page.
At 0% this sits below the 33.3% median of the 7 vendors with a published renewal in our Renewal Price Index, and the first-year price lines up against every other suite’s entry price in the Price Index.

AV-Comparatives included TotalAV in its Real-World Protection Test February-May 2026, published June 15, 2026. The lab asks for written permission before its ratings are reproduced, so the result is on the lab’s page rather than here.
AV-Comparatives: Real-World Protection Test February-May 2026“The most advertised name in the category, not the best deal. The product itself is competent (it uses a solid engine and posts decent lab scores), but the business model leans on a cheap first year that renews at several times the price. Fine protection, if you set a calendar reminder.”Checked by our editorial team
