FAQs
Is Webroot free?
Although Webroot's main offering is not free, you can get a free 14-day trial that lets you test out the brand's premium features before you're committed to a plan. If you like the service, simply let the trial period end and you'll start your chosen plan. If not, just cancel before 14 days is up to get your money back.
What kind of plans does Webroot offer?
Webroot offers three basic kinds of plans: Essentials, Premium and Total Protection. Essentials covers antivirus software and the brand's password management software, whilst Premium adds on identity protection. If you also want to add in a VPN, you'll need to opt for the Total Protection plan.
How much does Webroot cost?
As we've mentioned, there are three basic kinds of Webroot plans: Essentials, Premium and Total Protection. How much you'll pay for each depends on a number of factors. Generally, you'll pay more for simpler plans, less for longer plans (unless there are better deals on shorter plans), and less per user for family plans.
For example, Essential starts from $49.99 a year as standard, but promotions can bring this down by as much as 50%. A Webroot family Essentials plan (which covers 5 users) also costs $89.99 per year, meaning around $18 per user, plus the family plan can also be discounted. Be sure to compare different options to get the best deal.
What is the Webroot returns policy?
Customers can make the most of Webroot's 70-day money-back guarantee to get a refund if they're not happy with their service. Simply get in touch with the brand's team before your 70 days are up and they will arrange your cancellation and refund.
Watch for sales periods
Webroot runs a number of sales throughout the year, discounting its plans by as much as 50%. Although you'll find these sales year round, you'll also see the biggest promotions appear around key events such as Black Friday & Cyber Monday, Labor Day and more. Check for current deals to see if you can save, and bear in mind deals may actually make shorter plans cheaper than longer alternatives!
Consider your plan length
As we've mentioned, sometimes opting for a longer plan length can be cheaper if you can afford higher upfront costs. However, you need to check this before you choose longer options, as Webroot likes to offer discounts on shorter plans for your first term (then apply regular prices once you start your second term, say after 12 or 24 months). Although longer plans may work out more per year than shorter alternatives, if you do stay with the service beyond your first term, this is where longer plans can save you some money.
Choose a family plan
Webroot's family plans offer a great way to save money to cover up to 5 users if you all live in the same household. For example, the family Essentials plan usually costs $89.99 per year, meaning around $18 per user versus $49.99 for a year of Essentials for one device, or even $69.99 with Essentials for 3 devices ($23.33 per device). That's up to 60% off per user before any promotions have been applied. Note that how much you save with the family option will vary from plan to plan, so check carefully.

How we source coupon codes
Whether it's through our affiliate networks, the depths of the world wide web, or our connections with big name brands, here at TechRadar we use every tool at our disposal to source the latest codes. Our coupons team updates each of our pages multiple times a week with the most recent deals, including exclusive coupons negotiated by our Commercial team. We also include the latest sales info directly from retailers to offer the most up-to-date discounts around.
How we test coupon codes
Each coupon you find on TechRadar has been tested before being uploaded by our dedicated Deals & Offers teams. You’ll see a range of offers, from free shipping to student discounts, with savings available on all kinds of products & services. To make sure every coupon is ready to use, we don’t list any user-specific or one-time codes.
We also include all relevant information about coupons, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, near the ‘Get Code’ button. You can see the details for an individual offer by clicking on the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text below the code and expanding the code area.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Although we do our best to ensure all listed codes are tried & tested, sometimes coupons expire or terms & conditions are changed before we can update pages. Our team works hard to make sure our coupons are active and work as intended, and should you encounter an issue when using one, we’ll work just as hard to help.
The best place to start is by checking the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section and see any guidance on your chosen coupon. For example, you may need to meet a minimum spend, add other items to your basket to qualify for a multibuy offer, or confirm that your chosen code applies to the items in your basket (i.e. 10% off laptops).
If you’re still having issues using your code, you can email our customer service team on coupons.techradar@futurenet.com. Include as many details as possible - such as which code you used and which coupon page it’s listed on so our team can address your issue as fast as possible.
How we make money
When it comes to coupons, TechRadar earns money via a commission-based model. For every brand we have a coupon page for, we’ve negotiated a deal that means we earn a percentage of total basket value in commission back from every order.
Using this model means we can offer our coupons to our customers free of charge. You won’t pay any fees to add your chosen coupon to your basket - you’ll simply pay the final order total once your discount has been applied.
