- Runs on iOS, macOS and Android
- Packs screen time, web filtering and location into a single plan
- Reachable on email, chat and phone
Cons
- Yearly fees sit above the €43.84 typical of the group
- The device ceiling of 1 to 10 leaves larger households short

Who it suits

- Anyone who values phone support for setup questions
Who should look elsewhere

- Large families that need more device slots than 1 to 10
What it does well
Canopy covers 1 to 10 devices on a single plan. It runs on iOS, macOS and Android, so phones, laptops and school Chromebooks sit under the same subscription. The feature set is screen time, web filter and location, covering what a child opens, how long they stay and where they are.
Who runs it
Canopy is run by Netspark Inc., a company based in the United States. The legal entity behind the end user license agreement is the name to use in terms or billing queries. Support covers email, chat and phone, which includes phone help for the setup questions that come with filtering rules.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Canopy cost per year?+
Canopy's yearly fee runs $99.96 to $150 and is priced as a subscription rather than a lifetime purchase. The figure sits above the €43.84 typical across this group, so it is a costlier pick than most of the field.
How many devices can one Canopy plan cover?+
A plan covers 1 to 10 devices, which is a limit worth checking against a household with several screens. Families with more devices than that need a different approach, or a second arrangement, since the ceiling is part of the plan itself.
Which devices and systems does Canopy support?+
Canopy runs on iOS, macOS and Android. That covers the usual mix of family phones, laptops and school machines, and it means parents manage rules from the same account across all of them.
What does the Canopy plan actually include?+
The plan names screen time, web filter and location. Together those handle how long a child can use a screen, which sites they can reach, and where their device is, which are the things most families check first.
Who runs Canopy and where is it based?+
Canopy is operated by Netspark Inc., which is headquartered in the United States. That entity is named in the end user license agreement, so it is the name to use for account or billing questions.
Can I get help from Canopy when I need it?+
Support runs through email, chat and phone, so a parent setting filtering rules for the first time can pick up the phone as well as send an email. A help centre covers self service questions.
Is Canopy a free service?+
Canopy is a paid subscription with a yearly fee of $99.96 to $150. Free versions do exist elsewhere in this group, so anyone wanting to test the idea before paying has options to weigh there.
