THE REAL DIFFERENCEWhat Mobicip does vs. what KudoKids does

What Mobicip does best

Cheapest parental controls that cover every device your family owns — one subscription covers phones, tablets, laptops, Kindles, and school Chromebooks starting at $2.99 a month. Fifteen-plus years in market with 3 million families using it.

Where it stops short

Kids can delete the app from Android phones and get around everything. The app breaks after updates more than parents can tolerate. The whole product just blocks things — it does not help kids grow or learn anything.
