Cancel Bark Phone Service

If you have the Bark Phone (the actual device with phone plan):

Log into your Bark dashboard
Go to Bark Phone settings
Click Cancel phone plan
The phone hardware is yours — it just becomes a regular Samsung phone

Bark Pricing

Bark Jr ($5/mo): Content monitoring, screen time, web filtering
Bark Premium ($14/mo): Everything above + social media monitoring, email/text alerts, location tracking
Bark Phone ($49/mo): Samsung phone + plan + full Bark Premium features

Free Parental Control Alternatives

Apple Screen Time (free): Built into every iPhone/iPad — app limits, downtime scheduling, content restrictions, location sharing
Google Family Link (free): Built into Android — app management, screen time, location, content filters
Windows Family Safety (free): Screen time, content filtering, location for Windows/Xbox
OpenDNS FamilyShield (free): Network-level content filtering for your home WiFi

💡 What Bark Does That Free Tools Don't

Bark's AI scans message content for concerning patterns (bullying, self-harm, predators). Apple/Google don't do this — they only manage screen time and app access. If content monitoring is your primary concern, Bark may be worth keeping. If you mainly use it for screen time limits, switch to free built-in tools.
