Pretty expensive at the time of this writing February 5th 2016 a single annual license goes for $54.99 USD.
Con Has to remain open at all times to work
In order for the app to protect ones device the app has to remain open at all times. This may cause trouble if the OS shuts down the app due to low memory or if the user accidentally closes the app. It is also an issue as an always open app will be using RAM, something that might not be able to be spared and will use more battery than if it was not open.
