How does Qustodio stack up against Google Family Link for parental controls?

2

Both Qustodio and Google Family Link offer strong parental controls, but Qustodio provides more advanced features like detailed activity reports, app blocking, and time controls across platforms. For comprehensive monitoring—including call, SMS, and social media tracking—mSpy is an excellent alternative worth considering for robust child safety and control.

Think of it like this:

  • Google Family Link is the free, easy-to-use option, especially if your family is all-in on Android. It’s great for basics like screen time limits, location tracking, and app approvals.

  • Qustodio is the paid powerhouse. It’s cross-platform (iOS, Android, etc.), offers much deeper web filtering, and can even monitor social media activity.

Bottom line: Family Link is for basic management. Qustodio is for when you want to be a digital ninja.
