Keep your kids safe on YouTube. WhitelistVideo blocks everything by default – only videos from channels YOU approve will play. Simple, powerful, parent-controlled.

Create your parent account at app.whitelist.video 2. Set up a child profile and choose filtering rules 3. Generate a quick-setup code 4. Enter the code on your child's device 5. Done! Your child watches only what you approve PARENTAL CONTROLS: - Whitelist specific YouTube channels - Block YouTube Shorts (optional) - Hide engagement controls (comments, likes, share) - View blocked video attempts and activity - Get real-time alerts when rules change - Works alongside the parent web dashboard PRIVACY FIRST: WhitelistVideo is fully COPPA compliant.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SPIN Safe Browser at 4.4 against WhitelistVideo's 3.8. SPIN Safe Browser also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 4). WhitelistVideo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SPIN Safe Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SPIN Safe Browser has 2.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of SPIN Safe Browser's written reviews are positive against 75% of WhitelistVideo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SPIN Safe Browser ships an update every 6 weeks, WhitelistVideo every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
