FamiSafe, from software maker Wondershare, packs a long feature list into a reasonably priced yearly plan. Screen time tools include usage limits, schedules, instant blocking and per-app limits, and the web side covers a website filter, browsing history and safe browsing. Location features are a strength: real-time location, geofencing alerts, location history and driving route tracking, which helps parents of new drivers. Paid plans also monitor social apps and WhatsApp, flag sensitive images and show TikTok and YouTube history. The yearly plan is $59.99 for up to 10 devices, the quarterly plan $19.99 for 8 and the monthly plan $9.99 for 5, with a free plan for a single device on which several monitoring features show demo data only. The 3-day trial is short, and the deeper monitoring tools overlap with what Qustodio and Bark do with more polish.
