CrowdStrike Falcon Go

CrowdStrike Holdings is an Austin, Texas company, Nasdaq-listed since 2019 and widely held, founded in 2011 by George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch and Gregg Marston. Its UK entity is CrowdStrike UK Limited in London (Companies House 09625468). We found no Russian or Chinese office or engineering presence; co-founder Alperovitch is often described in the press as Russian-born and a naturalised American, which we record because the brief asks, not as a link to anything.

Prices are in US dollars, and that is the first thing to know: the en-gb pricing pages show the same dollar figures with an on-page note that all prices are in US dollars, so a UK buyer pays on their card's exchange rate. Read on 9 September 2026, Falcon Go is $59.99 a device a year or $7.99 a device a month with no annual commitment, for up to 100 devices; it is the plan we score and the only genuine month-to-month price in this comparison. Falcon Pro is $99.99 a year or $14.99 a month with no cap and adds firewall management. Falcon Enterprise is $184.99 a year or $19.99 a month and is where Endpoint Detection and Response and Threat Intelligence and Hunting appear: we read the UK comparison table live and EDR is a crossed-out row on both Go and Pro. Falcon Complete, CrowdStrike's MDR, is quote-only. Whether a Windows Server counts as a device under Falcon Go is not stated and we could not confirm it. A 15-day trial needs no payment and there is a 30-day money-back assurance.

Everything is bought in CrowdStrike's own online store with monthly or annual billing chosen at checkout, which makes it the easiest purchase on this page after Bitdefender. Next-generation antivirus, ransomware protection, USB device control, mobile protection for iOS and Android and Express Support for installation are in every tier; web filtering, patching and disk encryption are not part of these tiers. The Falcon console is cloud-only. CrowdStrike publishes a first-party MCP server, falcon-mcp, in public preview on GitHub, with a second for its AI detection service, one of two official MCP servers in this comparison. RMM integrations, console regions and support hours for the small-business tiers were not confirmed in our pass.

The lab record is the best in the set. AV-Comparatives' March to June 2025 business test scored Falcon Pro at 98.6 per cent with 14 false positives in its most aggressive configuration, and CrowdStrike reports 99.7 per cent with none in the H1 2026 round; SE Labs gave 100 per cent protection accuracy and AAA in Q4 2025 and a Best EDR award in 2024; AV-TEST named Falcon Pro Best macOS Security 2025 for business; MITRE's 2025 evaluation, per CrowdStrike, was 100 per cent detection and protection with no false positives. Then there is 19 July 2024: a faulty content update crashed about 8.5 million Windows machines worldwide, the largest outage of its kind, reverted after 78 minutes and remediated over the following days. Delta Air Lines' negligence suit is still running; the shareholder suit was dismissed. Trustpilot is 2.0 on 19 reviews, most of them about that day. Not yet tested by Saaskly: assessed on published pricing, the independent test labs, vendor documentation and third-party reviews.
