EDR For Home is selling the SentinelOne Singularity agent for home PCs and Macs, with month-to-month plans starting at $6.97 for a single device. The launch comes as holiday scam season nears and household losses from online crime keep rising, while the company also releases a guide for checking AI-generated security advice.

Why it matters: - Home computers often store tax records, banking logins and work files on the same device used for games and everyday browsing. - The offering gives households access to the same endpoint protection stack businesses use, without an enterprise contract. - The launch lands ahead of holiday scam season, when phishing, tech support scams and remote-access tricks tend to spike.

What happened: - EDR For Home introduced access to the SentinelOne Singularity agent for home PCs and Macs, set to Protect so the software can stop threats automatically on the device. - Pricing starts at $6.97 a month for one device. - Households can also buy plans for up to 4 devices or up to 10 devices on a month-to-month basis. - The product runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. - EDR For Home also published a free guide titled "Do I Need EDR at Home?" for evaluating AI-generated security recommendations.

The details: - The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center received 1,008,597 complaints in 2025 and reported $20.877 billion in losses, up 26% from 2024, according to the FBI's 2025 Internet Crime Report. - Americans 60 and older filed 201,266 complaints and reported $7.748 billion in losses, a 59% increase. - Tech support scams accounted for $2,134,675,818 in reported losses. - The SentinelOne agent uses AI on the device to detect malicious behavior, such as file encryption by ransomware or a script launched from a download. - In Protect mode, the agent acts on its own even when the device is offline. - Customers choose which alerts they receive. - The Control plan includes AI next-generation antivirus, firewall, USB and Bluetooth device control, 1-click cleanup and rollback of files after ransomware. - Rollback is Windows-only. - Control pricing is $6.97 per month for one device, $19.97 per month for up to 4 devices and $39.97 per month for up to 10 devices. - The Complete plan adds Storyline EDR, 14-day history, threat hunting, remote shell and Purple AI. - Complete starts at $15.97 per month for one device. - After purchase, EDR For Home emails customers a SentinelOne site token and customers install the agent themselves through the company's online Help Center. - The plans are software only. - No one monitors customers' devices, and the service does not include 24/7 monitoring or support. - Email support aims to reply within 1–2 business days. - The AI-shopping checklist tells users to open cited sources, verify independent test results on lab sites such as AV-Comparatives, AV-TEST and MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, check the date and treat unsourced "best" or "#1" claims with caution. - The guide is available at Do I Need EDR at Home?. - Plan details are available at membership information. - EDR For Home is a d/b/a of Fetzerhaus Technology, Inc. and is an independent company, not SentinelOne. - SentinelOne and Singularity are trademarks of SentinelOne, Inc.

Between the lines: - EDR For Home is trying to translate an enterprise security product into a consumer-friendly subscription with clear limits on what is and is not included. - The company is also positioning itself against AI-generated shopping advice by steering users back to primary sources and independent lab results. - Joshua Fetzer, EDR For Home's CTO, said the goal was to let a household run the same SentinelOne agent a company would for the price of a streaming subscription, while making clear that the service is software, not live monitoring.

What's next: - Households that want the service can choose either Control or Complete and install the agent after purchase. - EDR For Home says customers who need help can use email support, with responses targeted in 1–2 business days. - The AI recommendation guide may become more relevant as more consumers use chatbots to choose security software.

The bottom line: - EDR For Home is betting that families want enterprise-grade endpoint protection at consumer pricing, as long as the product is packaged as self-managed software rather than monitored security service.
