Remove Qustodio from Kids' Devices

After cancelling, remove the Qustodio app from your children's devices:

iPhone/iPad: Go to Settings → General → VPN & Device Management → remove the Qustodio profile, then delete the app
Android: Go to Settings → Apps → Qustodio → Uninstall. You may need to remove it as a Device Administrator first (Settings → Security → Device admin apps)
Windows/Mac: Uninstall through Control Panel (Windows) or drag to Trash (Mac)

Free Built-In Alternatives

Every major platform now includes free parental controls:

Apple Screen Time (free): App limits, content restrictions, downtime scheduling, location sharing — built into every iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Google Family Link (free): App controls, screen time limits, location tracking, content filtering — built into every Android device
Microsoft Family Safety (free): Screen time, content filters, app limits, location — built into Windows and Xbox
Router-level filtering (free): OpenDNS Family Shield blocks adult content across your entire home network

💡 When Qustodio IS worth it: If your family uses a mix of Apple, Android, and Windows devices and you want a single dashboard to manage them all. The built-in tools are platform-specific. If everyone's on iPhones though, Screen Time alone is sufficient.
