Avast Cleanup Premium is a device management tool created by Avast Software, based in the Czech Republic. Avast is best known for its antivirus software, but it offers many other product lines. The company has been in business for more than three decades and is currently one of the most prominent software companies.
Avast Cleanup has a free trial version or a paid "Premium" version, and it is the latter that we will focus our review on. We'll judge it based on specific criteria, including price, features, compatibility, user interface, and customer support.
Avast Cleanup is compatible with Windows, Mac and Android operating systems.
packages and prices
Avast Cleanup Premium costs €60 per year for a single device license or €70 for ten devices. However, the company often offers deep discounts that cut the cost in half. Right now, you can get an annual license for one device for €30 and ten devices for €35. It's the same price for Windows, Mac, or Android operating systems.
Compared to its competitors, Avast Cleanup is expensive. Avast is a premium brand in the software industry, so it can charge higher prices without scaring off customers.
