# Parental Control App vs SmartCoparent

The clearest difference is rating: Parental Control App at 4.4 against SmartCoparent's 3.4. Parental Control App also leads on ratings volume (37K vs 17) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). SmartCoparent's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parental Control App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. SmartCoparent asks for nothing beyond the download.

Parental Control App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parental Control App has 37K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Parental Control App's written reviews are positive against 42% of SmartCoparent's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Parental Control App ships an update monthly, SmartCoparent every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
