Apple has increased the prices of its Mac computers in June, according to a recent report. This price hike has sparked greater interest in third-party security and maintenance software, as some users seek cost-effective ways to protect and extend the life of their devices. One such product, Intego ONE Complete, is currently being offered at a discounted rate of 2.71 euros per month during a back-to-school promotion, which is half of its usual price of 5.42 euros. The subscription includes protection for both a Mac and an iPhone, making it appealing to users with Apple's ecosystem of devices. Intego has been developing security software for Apple devices since 1997, and its latest product, Intego ONE, launched in April 2026, combines antivirus, firewall, a home virtual private network (VPN), and a maintenance tool called SmartClean into a single application. The Complete plan, the highest tier, includes all of these features, as well as an iPhone app with no additional cost. In AV-TEST's March 2026 evaluation, Intego ONE Complete received a top rating of 6/6 for its protection, performance, and usability, achieving perfect detection of 405 macOS malware samples without any false positives. The product is particularly aimed at users with Macs that are three to six years old, as its maintenance features help manage memory, storage, and application cleanup to extend device life. The firewall offers detailed monitoring of outgoing connections on a per-application basis. However, the anti-malware engine uses about 1 GB of memory even when idle, which may be a concern for users with Macs that have limited memory, such as those with only 8 GB of RAM. Comprehensive system scans are also resource-heavy, taking about 26 minutes on a MacBook M1 during testing, and the firewall might initially generate a high volume of alerts. Compared to other antivirus suites like Bitdefender Total Security and Norton 360, Intego ONE lacks features such as anti-phishing, anti-ransomware, and parental controls. It also does not offer a free trial. The 50% discount is applied at the time of payment, and users are advised to confirm the discounted rate of 2.71 euros per month before completing their purchase. Meanwhile, Apple has raised the prices of its entry-level MacBook Air M5 from 1,199 to 1,399 euros and the MacBook Pro from 1,899 to 2,199 euros. While the cost of Intego ONE Complete for twelve months is 32.52 euros, users with limited memory on their Macs may need to consider scheduling scans during off-hours to manage resource usage. Those with newer Macs or needing protection across both Windows and macOS platforms might find a multiplatform security suite more suitable.
