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.
