SkieHow does Skie compare with Norton Family?
Norton Family is a parental control service from Norton with web supervision, time limits and location. Skie works as the Android device owner, so its controls are harder for a child to remove, but it lacks time limits and usage reports for now. Both cover location, and Skie adds SOS and lost mode.
Norton Family comes from a security company and covers the familiar basics: supervising websites, setting time limits, showing location and sending reports. For families already using Norton products, it is a natural extension.
Skie is not a security suite or a reporting tool. It is Android device management software for families, and its main strength is that the rules are enforced by Android itself. The child cannot uninstall it, reset the phone from Settings, enter safe mode or use VPN, proxy and alternative browser apps to get round the filter.
Where Norton Family has features Skie does not: time limits and activity reports. Where Skie has features Norton does not document: lost mode with a police report pack, replace-a-device that keeps the setup, install guard and offline rules saved on the device. Check Norton's current pages, as plans differ by country.
For tablets, Skie treats them like phones, with apps, filtering, schedules, lock and Wi-Fi location. Skie works on Android only.
Tip: compare both against a written list of your three must-haves. Check the maker's own site for current prices, plans and which countries it serves, because these change.
