SentryPC review
Detailed parental monitoring with filtering, schedules, screenshots, and activity logs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SentryPC is cloud-based parental control and activity-monitoring software for parents managing children's computer and mobile use. It records device activity, filters websites, categories, applications, games, and keywords, and provides reports and email alerts for filtered activity. Parents manage settings and view logs through a web-based cloud account. Its platform coverage includes web, Windows, macOS, Android, and Chromebook browser activity, with Chromebook support limited to browser activity.
The Basic Plan costs $69.95 USD per device per year and includes management for one device plus 500 screenshots. The published plan lineup also includes Business 50, Business 100, Business 250, Business 500, and Business 1,000, with device capacities from up to 50 to up to 1,000 devices. Screenshot allowances range from 500 to 2,000 across those plans. Additional licenses are listed separately for the Basic Plan, so families managing more than one device should review the applicable licensing structure before choosing it.
SentryPC’s strongest fit is for parents who want detailed visibility rather than only basic screen-time controls. Daily and weekly schedules, application and game blocking, activity reports with visual charts, screenshots, real-time cloud account access, geolocation, geofencing, and email alerts create a broad monitoring toolkit. The trade-off is that its entry plan is paid and limited to one device, making it less suitable for families seeking a free option or straightforward coverage across several devices at the Basic tier. Choose SentryPC for logging and screenshot depth; consider another parental control app if those capabilities are unnecessary.
