SkieHow does Skie compare with Net Nanny?
Net Nanny is a parental control app known for content filtering, screen time limits and reports. Skie enforces its rules as the Android device owner and locks an adult-site filter on the device. Net Nanny offers per-site rules and reporting that Skie does not have yet.
Net Nanny has long focused on filtering web content. It categorises sites, lets parents block or allow them, sets screen time limits and provides reports. If you want fine control over individual websites, it is built for that.
Skie handles the web differently. A filtering DNS is locked on the device, so adult sites are blocked on any Wi-Fi and on mobile data. Chrome has SafeSearch, YouTube restricted mode and safe browsing forced, incognito is blocked, and more than 50 alternative browsers plus VPN and proxy apps are always blocked. The browser is off, restricted or allowed per group.
What Skie lacks is per-website lists, and also time limits and usage reports. These are not available yet, and the team is working on them. Net Nanny covers those, working at app level.
Skie adds what a filter app does not: control over apps, schedules, location with safe zones, SOS, lost mode and replace-a-device, all on a phone or tablet you already own. The family keeps its carrier, and Skie includes no hardware or plan.
Tip: if one particular site is your worry, ask each product to show you exactly how it handles it. Check the maker's own site for current prices, plans and which countries it serves, because these change.
