I’ve had Malwarebytes for years on my personal windows pc and it’s up for renewal. Is Defender sufficient or something else cheaper but better? My default is to cancel.

Cancel. The paid plans are mostly for business customers or the additional features. Even if you like their product, the core antivirus is the same for free tiers as it is for paid.

As for Windows Defender, it is perfectly fine for the majority of people. It is no longer the hot pile of garbage it once was. If it was me, I’d just switch to WD.
