Worth knowing
- Prices are US list prices as shown on each vendor's own site on 11 October 2026 and can change at any time. CrowdStrike runs a Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer on Falcon Go, Pro and Enterprise, so prices may be lower later in the year.
- Bitdefender calculates its price in a purchase widget after you pick device count and years, so no figure appears in the page text. Check the live widget for the current number.
- The CrowdStrike product page for Falcon Go on the list returned a 404 on the day checked, so the live pricing page was used instead. Falcon Go is still sold there.
- Which features sit in which CrowdStrike tier is shown with tick marks that did not come through as text, so only the described features are listed here.
