Your SafeToOpen: two products

Whether it's just you or your whole household, SafeToOpen is two simple apps working together — one watching your email, one watching your browser. Both run quietly in the background — on your computer and your phone, including Microsoft Edge on Android, set up the same way as on desktop.

Two products, two simple plans — start free in your browser, add email security whenever you like. See plans below →

real reviews

Loved by the people who use it — and the families they protect

★★★★★

"Great product as I've tried using other anti-phishing products. This one is by far the best I've found, so much so I've also installed it on other family computers. It effectively identifies phishing links and alerts promptly if there's an abnormality. 10/10 recommend!"

faq

Questions people ask

It scans risky pages and emails in real time, blocking phishing and scams before anyone enters a password or opens a dangerous file. Start free on your own browser — family plans cover everyone's devices and let you manage protection from one place.

Partly — but not enough. Chrome, Safari and Edge rely on lists of sites that have already been reported as dangerous, so there's a gap between when a scam launches and when it gets added. Criminals exploit exactly that gap, spinning up brand-new fake pages that haven't been reported anywhere yet. SafeToOpen reads each page as it loads and judges whether it's a fake in real time — so it catches the new scams your browser hasn't heard about. It also blocks trackers and keeps your browsing private, which built-in protection doesn't do.

Start with the free browser protection (no device limit). If you want email security and cover across your devices, Personal Plus is the single-person plan — it covers up to 5 of your own devices — and you can move up to Family Plus later without reinstalling anything.

Yes. Protection runs quietly in the background and warns in plain language when something's unsafe — which helps less technical family members, children and older relatives alike, avoid scams without needing to be security experts.

No. SafeToOpen never collects, stores, or sells browsing data — yours or your family's. It blocks trackers and keeps searches private — protection and privacy aren't a trade-off.

Browser protection is free for personal use with no device limit. Personal Plus covers up to 5 of your own devices, and Family Plus covers up to 5 people, 5 devices each. Email security is a separate product, counted per email address (up to 3 per account) with no device limit. Current prices are just above, and the pricing page has the full comparison.
