Qustodio

What is Qustodio?

Qustodio is a commercial parental control and digital wellbeing application. Parents install it on their children's devices and supervise them from a single dashboard that covers smartphones, tablets, desktops, Chromebooks, and more. The company says over 9 million parents use its tools. A free plan is available, with paid premium plans for families that need more.

What it offers

According to its website, Qustodio's feature set includes:

• Web and app filtering — block or allow content and apps.
• Activity monitoring — browsing, social media, and location, in real time.
• Screen-time management — set screen-free times such as study or bedtime.
• Calls and messages monitoring — alerts for concerning messages, with contact blocking.
• Family location — see where devices are, with alerts when they arrive at or leave saved places.
• Daily and weekly activity reports, plus search alerts.

How Guardian Angel is different

Guardian Angel — our own parental device-management app — covers the same ground, but is built around privacy by default:

• No sign-up identity. No email, no password, no name — your account is an anonymous 16-digit number.
• Client-side encryption. Everything the app syncs is encrypted on the device with a key only you hold — we cannot read it.
• Simple top-up pricing. $5 / 30 days (Lite) or $15 / 30 days (Pro), covering up to 5 devices — prepaid, no auto-renewal, and crypto payments save 15%.

Our parental-controls guide compares the built-in Android controls, Google Family Link, and dedicated apps side by side.
