With all the problems that come with most security suites, I have grave doubts about their cost. Are they of value ? Well... sure - IF they protect your system and IF they are not problematic.
It also is largely dependent upon the user's computing habits. A high-risk user has much greater need than someone who uses their computer once or twice per week to visit MalwareTips.
I think for most safe home users that Windows Defender + Windows Firewall + uBlock Origin + NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro will keep their system safe - plus it is a completely freeware solution.
The bottom line to this debate is not so much paid vs free, but instead the user tailoring their security config according to their likes\dislikes, use patterns\habits, their specific system - in short - their needs.
And therein lies the problem: most home users make no determination of what they need - but instead just look at test lab rankings or try to fabricate that whole "impenetrable fortress" thing...
