What eGuard's Free plan covers

eGuard's Free plan isn't a trial. It doesn't expire, and you don't need a card to start. It's built for a family with one child who wants the basics set up properly.

What's included

• 1 child and one device, for example their phone
• Guided setup for Android (iPhone and iPad coming soon)
• Screen time limits, with a separate weekend limit
• Bedtime, content age ratings, web filtering, download approval and uninstall protection
• App monitoring for up to 5 apps: see usage, set daily limits, block or approve
• Configuration Health, so you can see every setting is verified on the device
• Alerts in the dashboard and by email if eGuard is removed or tampered with, or a device goes offline
• Email support

Verification isn't a paid extra. Every plan, Free included, only marks a setting as done once the device confirms it. Paid plans also alert you when a setting changes on the device, so you don't have to check.

When to upgrade

eGuard Plus (₱149 a month) makes sense when you have more than one child, want to hear when a setting changes on the device, want to see where your child's device is, or need to manage all of their apps rather than 5. It covers up to 3 children and 5 devices.

eGuard Family (₱249 a month) is for larger families and organizations: up to 6 children and 12 devices, 30-day reports, custom ranges longer than a week and CSV export, and API access for schools.

You can upgrade on the web with a card, Maya, GCash or QR Ph, and cancel any time. If you move back to Free, the children and devices you already added stay protected; you just can't add more until you upgrade again.
