The short version

  • Only Malwarebytes has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Aha! sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user; Malwarebytes free version limited to on-demand scanning and removal; no real-time protection
  • They diverge on capability: Aha! covers Strategic roadmaps, Malwarebytes covers Malware detection & removal.
