If you have only one child with one device, the setup process is excellent as it does a good job of guiding you and making the process quick and easy. You'll sign into your account on the child's device, and then the app walks you through the process of granting the necessary permissions including installing a profile that allows for the management of their device(s). Like a number of other parental-control services, Qustodio uses separate parent and child apps as kids tend to give their apps terrible ratings. You can either navigate to Qustodio's download page (opens in new tab) or simply download the "Kids App Qustodio" from the relevant app store. The next step is to add a device for the child. The avatars are a bit odd, and you can't upload a photo of your child. You just enter a name and then select a year of birth, a gender and an avatar from a set of six options. The app will then prompt you to create child profiles. The first step is to create your account.
My preference is to set these services up through their websites when possible, but if you prefer to stick to your smartphone, the Qustodio apps for Android and iOS make that easy. Chrome OS support is a bit more limited, consisting of the Android app to manage time and a Chrome extension to limit browsing time and monitor activity.
Each plan includes all the premium features and full support across Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Kindle Fire. Up to 5 devices can be covered for $54.95 a year, 10 devices for $96.95, and 15 devices for $137.95.ĭevice limits are the only differences between the paid plans. To unlock the full premium features, you can choose from one of three plans, depending on the number of devices you need to protect.
Qustodio's pricing has remained pretty static in recent years, with a basic free tier that covers a single device with web filtering, web and social-media monitoring, time limits and an online monitoring dashboard.
