Our verdict
Mobicip fits parents managing a mixed household of phones, laptops and e-readers, since one app handles screen time, web filtering and location. Yearly fees run $2.99 to $7.99 on the budget plan, plans cover 2 to 20 devices, and a free plan is listed too.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Screen time, web filtering and location are bundled in the same plan, the areas listed under screen time, web filter and location.
- One purchase covers iOS, Android and macOS, so phones, family computers, Chromebooks and Kindle Fire hardware are all in scope.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, so help is reachable by more than one route.
- Plans come in a free line and a budget line, the two named in free and budget, so a household can start before paying.
Cons
- The platform list in iOS, Android and macOS has no Linux build, while Control D covers Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Apple's built-in family controls cost $0, so the budget plan at $2.99 to $7.99 yearly has to earn its place.
- Device limits top out at 2 to 20, which is light for a family with a device for each child.
Who it suits
- Households with mixed hardware, since apps cover iOS, Android and macOS.
- Parents who want screen time, web filtering and location in one place instead of separate tools.
- Shoppers weighing price, with the budget plan billed yearly at $2.99 to $7.99 and a free plan in free and budget.
Who should look elsewhere
- Linux households: Control D covers Windows, macOS and Linux, and the Mobicip list in iOS, Android and macOS has no Linux build.
- Apple households content with the built-in controls, which cost $0.
- Buyers after a full security suite rather than parental controls, since ESET Brasil lists yearly fees of BRL 64.22 to BRL 278.32.
What it does well
Mobicip keeps the job list short: screen time, web filtering and location, the areas listed under screen time, web filter and location. That combination covers the usual parental control asks without extra modules to learn. The quiet strength is reach across hardware. Apps run on iOS, Android and macOS, so a family can cover the phones, tablets, laptops, Chromebooks and Kindle Fire devices in one house from a single purchase, and plans cover 2 to 20 devices. Households with a device per child will read that ceiling as the main limit.
Apps and devices
Coverage is per platform rather than per household, and the list in iOS, Android and macOS spans the handheld devices a child carries, the family computers everyone shares, and dedicated reading hardware. iOS and Android handle the phones and tablets, macOS and Windows cover shared desktops and laptops, and Chromebook and Kindle Fire extend the same controls to school and reading devices. Plans cover 2 to 20 devices, so a typical family fits inside the allowance while a large household with a device per child will not.
Who runs it
Mobicip is operated by Mobicip, LLC, registered in the US, so the company behind the app is easy to place. Support runs on email, chat and phone, which means a parent can move between the help centre, email, live chat, phone and the community without leaving the service. For anyone weighing vendor accountability, the terms sit with the same entity that runs the pricing and the apps.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Mobicip cost for a year?+
The yearly figure sits in a narrow band: $2.99 to $7.99. That is the paid line, and the pricing page lists a free plan and a budget plan together in free and budget, so the yearly fee belongs to the budget plan. For scale, the parental control field generally runs at €43.84 yearly, and the Mobicip band sits under that.
Is there a free version of Mobicip?+
Yes. free and budget lists a free plan and a budget plan as the two options, so a household can see how screen time, web filtering and location behave before paying the $2.99 to $7.99 yearly fee. Free plans are common rather than unusual in this category, at 73.9% of the brands compared.
How many devices can one Mobicip plan cover?+
Plans cover 2 to 20 devices. That is enough for a typical household of parents and children with a phone or tablet each, and it also absorbs shared family computers. The parental control field generally tops out at 10, so Mobicip leaves more room than the rest of that ranking on this measure.
Which platforms does the Mobicip app run on?+
Apps are listed for iOS, Android and macOS. That covers the handheld devices children carry, the computers the family shares, and dedicated reading hardware, so one purchase reaches across a mixed home. A household that also runs Linux desktops would still need a different tool for those machines.
What does the Mobicip app actually control?+
The feature set is deliberately small: screen time, web filter and location. Screen time limits, web filtering and location are the whole set, and that focus is the point rather than an oversight. Parents shopping for a broad internet safety suite will find more ground covered in a full security product.
Who runs Mobicip?+
The service is operated by Mobicip, LLC, registered in the US. One corporate entity sits behind the pricing, the plan names and the apps, rather than a reseller or a white label arrangement, and the terms are where the legal detail sits.
How do I get help from Mobicip?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone. That mix lets a parent self serve through the help centre, send an email, open a live chat, pick up the phone, or post in the community, all inside the same service. It is a wider set of routes than an email only desk.
How does Mobicip compare with Control D?+
Control D lists Windows, macOS and Linux, which adds Linux and overlaps with Mobicip elsewhere. Mobicip's own list is iOS, Android and macOS, so the gap runs in both directions: Linux coverage sits with Control D, while Chromebook and Kindle Fire sit with Mobicip.
Is Mobicip worth paying for when Apple controls are free?+
Apple's built-in family controls cost $0, so a household already inside that setup pays nothing for the basics. The Mobicip budget plan is billed yearly at $2.99 to $7.99 and adds web filtering and location alongside screen time, which is the argument for paying rather than sticking with the free option.
