Is there a free version of Aura?

No, Aura doesn’t provide a free version of any of its services or apps, but it does have a 60-day money-back guarantee for the annual plans, which gives you plenty of time to try it and see if it’s right for you. Aura has a number of tiered plans offering different levels of identity and credit monitoring, as well as parental controls in the Family plan. All of Aura’s paid plans include the antivirus feature as well as Aura’s VPN and password manager.

Is Aura a good antivirus?

Aura’s anti-malware scanner is good at detecting viruses, trojans, and more , but it’s not as good as the top antiviruses in 2025 — using its huge database of known threats, Aura was able to detect around 98% of the test files I used. This is pretty good, but top antiviruses like Norton 360 have perfect detection rates, include more features, and offer a better value.

Does Aura’s antivirus work for Android and iOS devices?

Aura offers a basic antivirus scanner for Android and an online security app including the VPN, password manager, parental controls, a spam call screener, and ID theft protections for both Android and iOS. If you’re looking for more comprehensive mobile security, Norton offers the best mobile apps for Android and iOS in 2025.

Will Aura slow down my device?

Maybe, but only during full-disk antivirus scans. I had some slowdown while watching HD YouTube videos during a full disk scan, but other than that, my devices ran perfectly well with Aura installed. Only cloud-based antivirus programs like Bitdefender can run a full disk scan without any system slowdown. Aura doesn’t provide any system cleanup tools, and there are way better options for gamers who want an unobtrusive antivirus option.
