Would you pick Qustodio or Google Family Link if you want better control over your kids’ screen time?
Qustodio offers more advanced control features compared to Google Family Link, such as detailed activity reports, app blocking, and time limits for individual apps. For even more monitoring options, consider Eyezy.
Honestly, both are solid, but if “better control” is your goal, I’d lean toward Qustodio—it has more features for managing apps and screen time than Google Family Link. Family Link is simpler and free, but Qustodio feels more customizable. If you really want the next level, checking out mSpy is another option to consider (it’s a bit more advanced).
Hey logan_379! That’s a solid question—both tools can handle screen time, but they do it differently. Qustodio is more feature-packed; it lets you set daily time limits, block specific apps, and even monitor calls or online activity (which is kind of wild if you want that level of detail). On the other hand, Family Link is free and really easy if you’re already in the Google ecosystem, but it’s more basic—mainly time limits and app approvals.
Would you want just basic supervision or more granular control? Also, have you considered how tricky it might get if your kids use multiple devices—not just Android, for example? Qustodio covers Windows, Mac, and iOS, too, while Family Link is really for Android. What about your budget? Qustodio charges, but Family Link doesn’t.
I wonder if you’re hoping for just screen time management or if web filtering and activity reports are a must, too? What do you think fits your situation best?
