AVG Mobile Ultimate is AVG's top Android subscription, combining the paid AntiVirus, Cleaner, and VPN apps in one purchase. It is aimed at people who want malware protection, storage cleanup, and an encrypted connection on the same phone or tablet.
Real-time protection – Scans apps and files as you use them.
Scam blocking – Stops phishing links before pages load.
Public Wi-Fi safety – VPN encrypts banking on untrusted networks.
More free storage – Cleaner clears junk and duplicate photos.
Private apps – App Lock and Photo Vault stay PIN-protected.
Leak alerts – Warns when your email password is exposed.
It bundles AVG's paid Android apps — AVG AntiVirus Pro, AVG Cleaner Pro, and a VPN — under one subscription. The antivirus scans apps, files, and settings in real time, while Web Shield checks websites and blocks scam pages before they open. The Cleaner removes leftover junk and duplicate photos to recover storage, and the VPN encrypts your traffic. It is the only AVG mobile tier that layers an encrypted VPN on top of the antivirus and cleanup tools, which matters most when you bank or shop on Wi-Fi you do not control.
Yes — it includes either the standalone AVG Secure VPN app or the VPN Protection feature built into AVG AntiVirus, and there is no daily data cap. The VPN is the single feature that separates Ultimate from the cheaper Mobile Pro Plus tier. Unlike free "lite" VPNs that throttle you after a few hundred megabytes a day, this connection stays open for everyday browsing, streaming, and banking. You can use either the in-app VPN or the separate Secure VPN app (which adds options like Split Tunneling), but only one of the two at a time.

For more privacy-software context, read our VPN overview:
Mobile Pro Plus contains AVG AntiVirus Pro and AVG Cleaner Pro, while Mobile Ultimate adds the VPN on top of those same apps. Both paid tiers remove ads, unlock the unlimited Photo Vault, enable automatic scans, and add scam protection. The only practical reason to pick Ultimate over Pro Plus is the encrypted VPN connection. The malware engine, Web Shield, and cleanup tools are identical between the two.

No — neither parental controls nor a password manager is part of this Android bundle. AVG's mobile apps concentrate on malware scanning, device cleanup, anti-theft, and the VPN, so screen-time limits and a credential vault are simply not offered. If you need those, you would pair AVG with a separate app made for them. AVG's identity tools such as BreachGuard, along with AntiTrack and Driver Updater, are sold as separate products and run on PC and Mac, not inside this Android package.
This tier covers Android phones and tablets only. AVG sells separate bundles for iOS and for Windows and Mac, so a Mobile Ultimate purchase will not activate protection on an iPhone or a PC. The three apps in this package — AntiVirus Pro, Cleaner Pro, and Secure VPN — are all the Android editions. Before buying, confirm that everyone you want to protect is on Android, otherwise you would need a different AVG product for those devices.
Check whether you actually need the VPN, because that is the only thing Ultimate adds over the cheaper Mobile Pro Plus tier. If you rarely use public Wi-Fi and mainly want malware scanning plus storage cleanup, Pro Plus already covers that. Choose Ultimate when you regularly connect on networks you do not own — hotels, cafés, airports — and want that traffic encrypted. The antivirus engine, Web Shield, and Cleaner behave the same in both paid tiers, so the decision comes down to the VPN alone.

Yes. Every paid tier, including Ultimate, removes the third-party ads shown in the free AVG AntiVirus app, so the interface stays clean while you scan or run the VPN.
Yes. It can locate a lost phone, lock it remotely, sound an alarm, and lock the device if the SIM card is swapped. That lets you react to a theft quickly instead of only hoping to recover the handset later.
