In our modern society, we are all connected to the World Wide Web and it is important for parents/guardians to know what their children are viewing online. Now, with the stay-at-home order and social distancing in place, our connections are at an all time high.
Our team of Geeks have been busy researching solutions in order to protect our clients and their families. Our focus was to find a service compatible with a variety of devices, sufficient security, location tracking, social media monitoring, and an overall user-friendly experience. While we did consider price, most pricing is very competitive and most plans average less than a dollar per device, per month.
We chose Qustodio as the best because it has an easy-to-use web interface, customizable time restrictions, and is competitively priced. Along with these benefits, the program provides extensive web filters and the ability to block inappropriate apps. One of the most appealing features of Qustodio is that it provides parents with the ability to monitor their children’s social media interactions as well as keep up with their location. With all of these features, Qustodio offers a powerful package comparing to other softwares below.
