OurPact

OurPact is a parental-control service for families managing children’s iPhones, iPads, or Android devices. It is a strong fit for households that want screen-time rules and location tools across mixed devices, with content monitoring available on the top plan. The trade-off is clear: the free tier is tightly capped, and monitoring features require Premium+.

Overview

A single child profile can pair with multiple devices, including a mix of iOS and Android hardware. That makes OurPact practical for families juggling a child’s phone and tablet across platforms; paid plans cover up to 20 child devices, while Free covers one. OurPact is a brand of Eturi Corp., founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Diego, California.

Key features

Screen-time controls and safeguards

Daily limits and schedules support regular household rules, while instant blocking or unblocking gives parents a way to respond outside those routines. Device safeguards can prevent deletions and disable selected functions. On iOS 18 or older, tamperproofing prevents removal without parent approval, a useful protection for supported versions.

Location and content monitoring

Live location, location history, and alerts for designated places make the location tools useful for both checking where a child is and receiving place-based updates. Premium+ adds content monitoring using screenshots, OCR, AI flagging, and custom detection for harmful content. Screenshots are stored in an encrypted gallery; the company says data is encrypted and personal information is not sold or shared.

Pricing

OurPact uses a freemium model, with monthly and annual paid options and a 14-day free trial. Free costs nothing and supports one child device, five manual blocks per month, and one automated block schedule. That is enough for a narrow trial of the controls, but the low device and blocking allowances limit its usefulness as a lasting option for families with multiple devices.

Premium costs $6.99 per month or $69.99 billed annually. It covers up to 20 child devices and includes screen-time management, location sharing, and device safeguards. It suits families who want the core controls across several devices without content monitoring; the annual price works out to about $5.83 per month, but requires an annual billing commitment.

Premium+ costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 billed annually. It also covers up to 20 child devices and adds the content monitor to Premium’s screen-time management, location sharing, and safeguards. Choose it if screenshot-based monitoring and harmful-content detection are central to your needs; otherwise, Premium provides the listed controls for less. The 14-day free trial gives families a short period to assess the service before choosing a paid plan.

Platforms

OurPact supports iPhones, iPads, Android phones, and Android tablets. Mixed iOS and Android devices can be paired to the same child profile, which is a meaningful advantage for households that do not use a single platform. It does not cover the desktop platforms included by some alternatives.

Who it's for

OurPact is best for families who need scheduled screen-time management and location features across multiple mobile devices, particularly when those devices span iOS and Android. Premium+ is the relevant choice for parents who also want the stated content-monitoring tools. Families seeking a durable free setup should look closely at the one-device limit and the monthly cap on manual blocks.

Pros and cons

• Pros: One profile can pair with mixed iOS and Android devices, and paid plans support up to 20 child devices, reducing the need to split management across accounts.
• Pros: Daily limits, schedules, instant blocking, location history, and place alerts combine routine controls with location checks and immediate intervention.
• Cons: Free is restricted to one device, five manual blocks monthly, and one automated schedule, so it is a limited long-term choice for families with several devices.
• Cons: Content monitoring is reserved for Premium+, and annual billing is required to get the lower effective monthly cost.

Verdict

Choose OurPact if you want one service for screen-time controls and location tools across a sizeable mix of iOS and Android child devices; Premium+ is the pick when content monitoring matters too. Look elsewhere if you need a genuinely roomy free tier, desktop coverage, or content monitoring without moving to the top plan.
