--- title: Kaspersky Safe Kids canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/kaspersky-safe-kids/ category: Parental Control Apps points: 89 rank: 1 of 10 facts_checked: 2026-10-08 --- # Kaspersky Safe Kids Parental control app for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS with a free version and one yearly licence for all devices. 89 points out of 100. #1 of 10 parental control apps. Vendor: Kaspersky. Website: https://www.kaspersky.com/safe-kids - The yearly plan lists at $28.99 a year, shown at $25.99 for the first year [1]. - A free version includes website and app blocking, and time limits on computer use [4]. - Premium adds application time limits, usage reports, a weekly schedule and social network monitoring [4]. - One licence covers all devices; the pages state no device cap [6]. - A 30-day money-back guarantee applies [1]. Verdict: Kaspersky Safe Kids suits families who want low-priced filtering, time limits and location on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS [1][2]. The free version blocks websites and apps and limits computer time, and one licence covers all devices [4][6]. The catch: it lists no Chromebook support, names none of the social networks it monitors, and the first-year price rises at renewal [1]. Best for: Families who want a low-cost yearly plan with a free tier to start. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Systems | Windows PC | Yes | 6/6 | The product page lists Windows as a compatible system and gives Windows 7 SP1 or later requirements [1]. | | Systems | Other systems | macOS, Android, iOS | 9/12 | Page lists macOS, Android and iOS; Chromebook or ChromeOS is not listed [1]. | | Controls | Website filtering by category | Yes | 8/8 | Category blocking plus custom allow and block lists [2]. | | Controls | Block apps and games | Yes | 6/6 | Block or allow apps by age rating or category; an Always-on apps list is also offered [2]. | | Controls | Daily limits and schedules | Yes | 8/8 | Daily limits and scheduled downtime [2]. | | Controls | Time limits per app | Yes | 3/3 | Premium lists time limits on application use [4]. | | Controls | Pause or lock from the parent app | Not published | 0/3 | Not published on the vendor's features page [2]; no instant lock or pause is described. | | Controls | Removal protection | Yes | 3/3 | Removing the app on Android needs the My Kaspersky login; on iOS the profile needs a PIN [3]. | | Controls | YouTube controls | Yes | 2/2 | Restrict search results and see search and watch history [2]. | | Monitoring | Live location | Yes | 6/6 | Live map of the child's device location [2]. | | Monitoring | Place alerts | Yes | 2/2 | Alerts when a child leaves a set safe zone [2]. | | Monitoring | Social media and message alerts | Not published | 0/5 | Social network monitoring is Premium, but no apps are named [4][6]. | | Monitoring | Activity reports | Yes | 3/3 | Premium lists reports on computer time and websites visited; the features page lists daily app-use reports [2][4]. | | Monitoring | Child requests | Yes | 3/3 | Kids can request more time or access to blocked sites and apps, on free and Premium [4]. | | Terms | Money-back period | 30 | 2/2 | The page offers a 30-day money-back guarantee [1]. | | Price and plan | Free plan | Yes | 8/8 | FAQ names a free version with website blocking and app management; the support table shows blocking in free [3][4]. | | Price and plan | Cheapest paid family plan | $2.42/mo | 12/12 | $28.99 a year list price (struck out beside $25.99), for 1 user account, 1 year [1]. | | Price and plan | Devices on the priced plan | 100 | 8/8 | The product page says one account covers all of your children's devices [1]; the licence guides state no device cap [5][6]. | ## Plans | Plan | Price | Per month (USD) | |---|---|---| | Free | Free [3][4] | $0 | | Premium (Safe Kids) | $28.99/year [1][6] | $2.42 | The page shows $25.99 for the first year against a struck-out $28.99, which is also the renewal price [1].
