Both are serious parental control apps. The difference is value: ParentalEdge gives you every feature and covers your whole family on one plan — for less than Qustodio's entry tier.

Qustodio's entry plan caps at 5 devices and reserves the best features for its pricier Complete tier. ParentalEdge gives you every feature and protects all your family's devices on a single plan.
Qustodio tells you "YouTube: 2 hours". ParentalEdge shows the actual video titles, channels and thumbnails — so you know what they watched, not just for how long.
ParentalEdge enforces Safe Search and blocks harmful sites across every browser on the device — including incognito and private mode — with 14 harmful categories blocked by default.
Switch on Study Mode and only educational apps work — everything else is blocked until study time ends. A focused-learning feature Qustodio doesn't offer.
We'd rather be honest than oversell. Qustodio is a mature product with a long track record and broad platform coverage. If you specifically need a Windows desktop app today, or you already use Qustodio and your family is happy with it, there may be no reason to switch right now.
But if you want every feature without juggling tiers, deeper insight into what your child actually watches, and a price that protects your whole family for less — that's exactly what we built ParentalEdge to do.
Yes. ParentalEdge is a single plan that includes every feature and covers all your family's devices. Qustodio's lowest 'Basic' plan caps at 5 devices, and its full feature set requires the more expensive 'Complete' plan. In India, ParentalEdge is roughly half the price of Qustodio's entry plan.
ParentalEdge shows video-level YouTube history (titles, channels and thumbnails, not just hours), enforces Safe Search and content blocking across every browser including incognito, includes a Study Mode that allows only educational apps during homework, and gives you every feature on one plan instead of gating them behind tiers.
Yes. ParentalEdge works on Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, and macOS, with a parent dashboard you can access from any device. Note that due to Apple restrictions, app usage on iOS can't be reported to the parent dashboard, though it can be viewed on the child's device.
Yes. Every new family gets a 7-day free trial with full access to every feature, and you can cancel anytime. In India we also offer a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Every feature, all your devices, one simple plan. Try it risk-free.
