CST VerdictBased on our analysis of core features, here is our conclusion:
Android users who want free antivirus without paying for a VPN should pick Avira Antivirus Security for Android; the VPN comes included but capped at 100 MB daily, which means you're not subsidizing unused capacity. The free tier includes ransomware detection and a permissions manager that actually rates app privacy risk rather than just listing what apps request, which catches the mediocre apps most scanners miss. Skip this if you need continuous VPN coverage or rely on advanced features like camera/microphone blocking; those live behind the paid tier, so you're looking at a free antivirus that upsells rather than a genuinely free security suite.
Individual contributors and small teams without dedicated mobile security budgets should grab Cyfirma DeFNCE; the free tier includes dark web credential monitoring and real-time malware scanning that usually sits behind enterprise paywalls. The digital risk scoring across four severity levels gives you immediate triage without setup overhead. Skip this if your organization needs mobile device management, app control policies, or integration with your MDM stack; DeFNCE is a personal security scanner, not an administrator's tool.
