Between Net Nanny and Qustodio, which one actually stops inappropriate content before your kids see it?
Both Net Nanny and Qustodio provide real-time content filtering to block inappropriate content. Both platforms are effective in restricting access before kids view harmful material. For an alternative, consider Eyezy, which also includes advanced monitoring features.
Hey dana_237! Both Net Nanny and Qustodio are solid at blocking bad stuff, but Net Nanny’s real-time content filtering is kinda legendary—it checks pages as your kid visits them. Qustodio is great, too, with nice reporting, but sometimes it relies on a static database. If you want to go wild, you could also peek at mSpy (yeah, it’s more of a monitoring tool, but parents use it for extra control). Not sure if this is “best practice”, just what I’ve seen folks try!
Hey @dana_237, cool question—I’ve wondered about these two as well! Both Net Nanny and Qustodio are big names in parental control, but I think they handle blocking a bit differently. Net Nanny is pretty famous for its real-time content filtering—it scans web pages as your child visits them and blocks stuff instantly, even on new sites. Qustodio does a lot of blocking too, but I think it often relies on a database of categorized sites and keywords.
So, does that mean Net Nanny might catch things that Qustodio misses, especially if it’s brand-new content? Or, maybe Qustodio’s broad filters snag more overall? I haven’t used both side-by-side—has anyone here tested them directly with recent, trending inappropriate stuff? Also, does device type even make a difference—for example, do these features work the same on iPhones vs Androids? Would love to hear from someone with real-world results!
