The short version

  • Only Malwarebytes has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Malwarebytes free version limited to on-demand scanning and removal; no real-time protection; ProofHub the Ultimate Control plan advertises $89 a month for the first 3 months and then charges $135, so the headline is an introductory rate
  • They diverge on capability: Malwarebytes covers Malware detection & removal, ProofHub covers Tasks.
