FAQ

If Any Questions Left

Qustodio vs. mSpy: What is the best parental control app?

In the world of digital safety, mSpy and Qustodio provide two distinct options. While Qustodio is more budget-friendly, with a free version available, it is limited in what information you can access regarding target phones’ online activity. On the other hand, mSpy offers a comprehensive overview to help protect them from harm where ever they may be. Screenrecorder, Calendar Activities checker, Keylogger for both iPhone and Android, and more - all of these features are available only with mSpy.

What is Qustodio, and can it beat mSpy?

Qustodio positions itself as an all-in-one parental control solution that combines all the necessary tools to protect children online. And indeed, the functionality of the Qustodio app is impressive: geolocation tracking, online activity monitoring, danger signal, viewing of calls and SMS, and online filters.

But mSpy can do all this with ease and additionally offers the function of Keylogger, Screen Recorder, and Hidden Mode. And all according to the tariff that you choose yourself.

Qustodio review: what to choose for iOS between mSpy and Qustodio?

Owners of iPhones and iPads are often faced with the fact that the functions in monitoring apps are limited for them. If they try Qustodio, they may also be a little disappointed. Geofencing, web filtering, setting time limits and location history are also available on iOS. And no access to Panic Button, Call and texting management and application blocking.

If we talk about a more versatile and affordable option, mSpy is here. It doesn't limit iPhone owners to monitoring tools, adding to this friend's installation, which will take some time.

mSpy vs. Qustodio: can they monitor undetectable?

Regarding Qustodio on Windows and Mac computers, this app does a great job of hiding all traces of its activities. But mobile devices are a gray area for Qustodio, and hiding the icon will not be possible.

Unlike other phone tracking software, there is no mSpy app on the target device that the user can see. This means they will not see the app logo as it will be masked from prying eyes.

Message monitoring in Qustodio and mSpy: who can do it better?

Parental control Qustodio includes SMS tracking for Android and iOS. But if you dig deeper, access is available only for incoming and outgoing messages. But if the child deletes them? mSpy will do the best here, which has keylogger and screen recorder functions to avoid such situations.
