SafeCircle vs Google Family Link

Google Family Link is free and covers screen time, app approvals and location. It does not tell you when your child is being groomed or bullied in a chat. SafeCircle does, and many families will want both.

SafeCircle children page: a child profile with their paired device and the list of children

Each child, each device

A profile per child with their paired devices, last seen time and unread alerts.

Which one fits your family

Family Link is a good free way to set limits and see where your child is. SafeCircle adds what limits can't: knowing when something is wrong in their conversations, without reading them, and it is adding screen time limits too.
