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". On Android, 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. 11 harmful categories are blocked at every age, and under-16s also have social media, private messaging and forums blocked (14 in total).
Pay ₹999/year + GST by UPI or credit/debit card through Razorpay, with no US-dollar card needed. Indian betting and fantasy-sports apps such as Dream11 and MPL are blocked from the first minute.
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 one Family plan with every feature, covering up to 25 devices and 10 children, at ₹999/year + GST (₹1,178.82) in India, A$74.99 in Australia, and US$15–49.99/year depending on country (US$49.99 in the US, UK, Canada). Qustodio's website lists Basic at US$59.95/year and Complete at US$104.95/year, charged in US dollars with no UPI at its web checkout, and its Basic plan caps at 5 devices.
ParentalEdge shows video-level YouTube history on Android (titles, channels and thumbnails, not just hours), enforces Safe Search and content blocking across every browser including incognito, takes UPI on its own web checkout in India with an INR + GST invoice, and gives you every feature on one plan instead of splitting them across 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 country, including India, gets a 7-day free trial of every feature with no upfront payment, starting once your child's device is set up. Nothing is charged automatically: you subscribe when you're ready, with a full refund available within 30 days of your first payment. If you don't subscribe, a free plan keeps full visibility of web activity, apps and YouTube on one device, without blocking or limits. Qustodio has a free plan for one device and a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans.
Every feature, all your devices, one simple plan. Try it risk-free.
