Keep in mind that some Qustodio features are platform-specific and that the iOS app is more limited than its Android counterpart-as is common, given how Apple tends to lock down iOS settings. Norton Family manages Windows and iOS devices, but be warned that it cannot monitor macOS devices. Qustodio launched a version of its software for Chromebooks, a platform Mobicip also supports. Qustodio runs on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Kindle devices. The two-part hardware and software solution, Circle Home Plus, is more expensive the device costs $129 and includes a one-year premium membership, but after that, you need to pay $9.99 per month to maintain the service on an unlimited number of devices. Kaspersky Safe Kids undercuts both of those services considerably it only charges $14.99 per year and supports an unlimited number of child devices. Norton Family Premier is cheaper ($49.99 per year) than Qustodio and does not limit the number of devices you can monitor. Some advantages these plans offer over the free version are up to 30 days of activity history, application-based time restrictions, and location tracking. Qustodio structures its paid subscription plans around family size, with Small (five devices), Medium (10 devices), and Large (15 devices) options. You also get basic controls like web filtering and time quotas for certain activities. The free version limits monitoring to just a single device and only keeps seven days of activity history. Qustodio for Families is expensive, but it does have a permanently free option. We now recommend Editors' Choice winner Norton Family in the parental control category. Previously, Qustodio was a PCMag's Editors' Choice winner, but a new, less-secure requirement for using the call- and text-monitoring feature on Android devices has caused us to drop its rating and the award. You handle all configuration and monitoring either via Qustodio's online dashboard or the parental mode of its mobile apps, which means you can set rules and review your child's activity from anywhere. Qustodio has just about every feature an anxious parent wants, including web content filtering, robust app blocking, and a detailed activity log. Sideloading required for Android calls and text monitoringĪ parental control tool that only runs on your family PC is almost useless when it comes to keeping an eye on modern connected kids.Child can evade web filter by using a VPN.How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.How to Record the Screen on Your Windows PC or Mac.How to Convert YouTube Videos to MP3 Files.How to Save Money on Your Cell Phone Bill.How to Free Up Space on Your iPhone or iPad.How to Block Robotexts and Spam Messages.
