i-FILTER is internet-filtering software from Digital Arts Inc. for families, schools, businesses, and public-sector organizations. Its product line supports Windows, iOS, Android, and web management, with consumer and business offerings available across different editions. The core consumer feature set focuses on controlling web access: administrators can block unsafe or unregistered URLs, allow specific websites, select blocked categories, schedule internet access by day and time, and review usage activity. It is best suited to established deployments that need straightforward filtering and scheduled access controls across common platforms.

The published plans are Monthly and Annual, and both list Android, iOS, and Windows support. The product is paid, with a listed starting price of 500 JPY, and there is no free plan. Pricing should therefore be evaluated alongside the required edition: consumer i-FILTER 10 and business i-FILTER products are separate offerings, while business versions include on-premise and cloud options. The available feature set adds value for organizations that need remote configuration and usage monitoring rather than a standalone device-level filter.

i-FILTER’s strongest area is its combination of category filtering, URL controls, scheduled access, and reporting. Security reports show block counts, reasons, and categories, while the i-FILTER browser records search-word history. Android deployments also receive real-time location checking and application filtering. However, the product is a narrower choice for buyers seeking verified Safe Search controls, custom lists, or integrations with other systems. Choose i-FILTER for basic scheduled filtering with reporting and remote management; consider an alternative when broader ecosystem connectivity or more advanced search controls are essential.
