FamilyTime vs Qustodio Comparison

In any industry reputation plays a big role, and when it comes to parental control software it’s only natural that you want to get the best of the best. Here we’ll be looking at two examples of software with very different levels of popularity. FamilyTime is a relatively obscure entry in the parental control software market and it could even be seen as a hidden gem. Meanwhile, Qustodio is used by millions of families worldwide, but is it really as good as they say? We took a closer look at both FamilyTime and Qustodio to see if they have earned their respective reputations.

FamilyTime only works on Android and iOS, with the price depending on how many devices you want to cover. For just one device it’s quite the bargain, but for larger families that want to cover multiple devices the costs soon add up. New users can test the software out first by taking advantage of its free 3-day trial.

Qustodio is available for Android (where it boasts extra GPS features), iOS, Windows, macOS, and even Kindle. It’s possible to use Qustodio entirely for free, but you do lose out on some of its advanced features. And while it isn’t the cheapest solution around, it works out at better value if you want to cover multiple devices. You can check if it’s worth your investment first by trying the premium version of Qustodio with its 3-day free trial.

Conclusion

While FamilyTime may deserve to be better known, Qustodio more than justifies its reputation. Overall, they both offer many of the same features that will help parents keep their kids safe online. Of the two solutions it’s Qustodio that does everything in a much more polished way, and when it comes to reporting to parents it’s a cut above the rest. However, if you want to cover just one device, FamilyTime is by far the cheaper option and is much more useful than Qustodio’s free version. But since both solutions offer free trials we recommend testing them both out to see which is the perfect fit for your family.
