CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile
crowdstrike.com
What it is
CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile extends endpoint security to business Android and iOS devices. It detects suspicious activity and links in texts, emails, browsers, and QR codes without reading or scanning their contents. It can block malicious links and unauthorized domains, and surface malware, network disruptions, spoofed identities, jailbroken devices, insider threats, and accidental data exposure. A central console displays mobile activity and device trust posture. Deployment supports zero-touch enrollment and existing unified endpoint management and mobile device management tools, with fully managed, BYOD, and personal unmanaged modes available. FalconID, delivered through the app, provides phishing-resistant multifactor authentication with real-time risk-based access decisions. Built-in blocklisting can act on malicious IPs, and Falcon Fusion enables custom incident-response workflows. Zero Trust Assessment covers iOS and Android, with an integration to Device Trust from Android Enterprise. Plans include Falcon Go at $7.99 per device per month, capped at 100 devices; Falcon Pro at $14.99 per device per month; and Falcon Enterprise at $19.99 per device per month. A 15-day free trial requires no credit card.

CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile in depth
Read the full write-up
CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile brings mobile threat defense, device trust, and identity controls together for organizations protecting Android and iOS fleets. It suits businesses managing both company-owned and personal devices, especially those already using endpoint-management tools. Its broad threat coverage is appealing, but ongoing protection is paid per device.
Overview
Falcon for Mobile detects suspicious activity and links across texts, email, browsers, and QR codes without reading or scanning their contents. It can block malicious links and unauthorized domains, while identifying malware, network disruptions, spoofed identities, jailbroken devices, insider threats, and accidental data exposure. That range makes it more than a malware scanner: it also gives security teams a way to assess device risk and access posture.
A central console brings mobile activity and device trust posture into view. Zero-touch enrollment and deployment through existing unified endpoint management or mobile device management tools should suit organizations that want to add mobile protection to established processes. Fully managed, BYOD, and personal unmanaged modes accommodate different ownership models. CrowdStrike says personal texts, emails, and photos are never read or scanned.
Key features
Threat response and identity
Falcon can detect malicious apps and unsafe networks, and built-in blocklisting can act on malicious IPs. Falcon Fusion supports custom incident-response workflows, giving teams a route to automate responses. FalconID, delivered through the mobile app, adds phishing-resistant multifactor authentication and real-time, risk-based access decisions. This combination is most useful to businesses looking to connect mobile device signals with access decisions, rather than buy a standalone consumer security app.
Device trust
Zero Trust Assessment covers both iOS and Android, and integration with Android Enterprise Device Trust surfaces additional trust signals. Together with the centralized console, these capabilities make Falcon relevant where device posture is part of deciding whether access should be allowed.
Pricing
The paid plans are billed monthly per device. Falcon Go costs $7.99 a month and covers Android and iOS, with a maximum of 100 devices. That cap makes it the entry point for smaller fleets, but not a fit for larger deployments unless they choose another plan. Falcon Pro costs $14.99 a month and Falcon Enterprise costs $19.99 a month; both include mobile device protection for Android and iOS. Their prices are per device, so total spend grows with the fleet. Falcon Go, Pro, and Enterprise include Express Support, with extended coverage hours and direct access to technical account managers—a useful inclusion for small and medium businesses that want direct support.
Falcon Free Trial costs nothing for 15 days, requires no credit card, and includes Mobile Device Protection. It is a short evaluation rather than an ongoing free tier. Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR has custom pricing, is purchased through sales, and adds 24/7 managed detection and response to mobile device protection; it is the option for organizations seeking continuous managed response rather than protection alone.
Platforms
Falcon for Mobile supports Android and iOS, with a web platform for management. Its mobile threat protections address malware, phishing, malicious apps, and unsafe networks.
Who it's for
Choose Falcon for Mobile if you manage business devices across Android and iOS, need a central view of device trust, or want mobile risk to inform identity and access decisions. Its support for managed, BYOD, and personal unmanaged modes makes it suitable for mixed ownership. It is less compelling for an individual seeking a free mobile security app: the trial ends after 15 days, and all continuing Falcon Go, Pro, and Enterprise protection is paid per device.
Pros and cons
Broad mobile threat coverage: detection spans links, apps, networks, malware, spoofed identities, and device risks such as jailbreaking and accidental data exposure.
Flexible deployment and ownership: zero-touch enrollment, existing management tools, and three device modes accommodate varied business fleets.
Privacy-conscious detection: suspicious links and activity can be detected without reading or scanning personal texts, emails, or photos.
Ongoing per-device cost: there is no free plan, and the monthly price scales with the number of protected devices.
Entry-plan ceiling: Falcon Go is capped at 100 devices, so larger fleets must consider Pro or Enterprise.
Alternatives
Bitdefender Total Security is a better fit for someone who wants a free plan or household coverage: it supports Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, and its Individual plan covers five devices for $59.99 a year for the first year, plus applicable sales tax. Check Point Harmony SASE is worth considering when Linux, macOS, or Windows support matters alongside mobile; it has a 30-day trial before a license is required.
ESET Mobile Security for Android suits Android users who prefer a lifetime free basic tier, with premium features available at a price not listed. Jamf Safe Internet is an education-focused alternative that combines network threat prevention and content filtering with Jamf management. Trellix Data Loss Prevention is aimed at organizations seeking enterprise data-loss protection across endpoints, email, web, networks, and storage, with on-premises or SaaS management.
Workspace ONE Boxer is another mobile-management option, with a Mobile Essentials plan at $5.40 a month based on 12 months prepaid and production-level support. Corrata Mobile Endpoint Security may suit smaller fleets seeking a lower stated starting price: Corrata Essentials costs €3 a month, billed annually, for 10–250 devices with a one-year initial term. Ivanti Mobile Threat Defense is another Android, iOS, and web option.

Verdict
Falcon for Mobile is a strong choice for businesses that want mobile threat detection tied to device trust and risk-aware identity controls, especially when they can use existing deployment tools. Its clearest reason to choose it is the breadth of protection and access signals in one business-focused product. Look elsewhere if a free ongoing plan, a lower per-device commitment, or protection for platforms beyond Android and iOS is central to your decision.
Verdict
Falcon for Mobile combines mobile threat detection with device trust and identity features. Its paid plans are priced per device monthly, with a 15-day trial available before purchase.
