FamilyTime review
A feature-rich parental control app with low annual-billing entry pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FamilyTime is a parental-control application for parents managing children’s mobile and connected-device use. It combines screen-time limits, recurring schedules, individual app limits, app and game blocking, web filtering, SafeSearch, activity reports, location tools, and safety alerts. Parents can manage controls through a web dashboard or parent app, while children use the FamilyTime Jr app. Support for Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS makes it suitable for families managing more than one device platform, though the available features depend on the operating system.
Pricing is structured around the number of child devices. The MyFamily plan costs $2.41 per month with annual billing and covers one child device. MyFamily3 costs $4.08 per month with annual billing for three child devices, while MyFamily5 costs $5.75 per month with annual billing for five. The plans include games and apps blocking, daily time limits, web filtering, location monitoring, and calls and messages monitoring. A free plan and a three-day free trial give families lower-commitment ways to start, while the paid tiers primarily add device capacity.
The feature breadth is the main reason to consider FamilyTime. Alongside routine screen-time controls, it offers activity reports covering app usage, location, browsing, and other activity; real-time location tracking; a family locator; geofencing and movement alerts; SOS or panic alerts with location updates; instant device locking; and internet scheduling. Calls, SMS, contacts, and social-media monitoring extend beyond basic content filtering, but calls and SMS monitoring is Android-only. Families wanting broad controls at a low annual-billing price should consider it, while households needing identical functionality across every platform should review operating-system differences first.
