Just got renewal email, eyezy cost now $69.99/month for one device. Used it 2 years, works ok but thinking of switching. Anyone found cheaper that does the same?
$69.99/month is on the high end for a single device. You can usually get similar coverage for less if you don’t need the most advanced features, or if you switch billing.
What I’d do:
- Audit what you actually use (location, web/app usage, SMS/call logs, social app content, screen/audio recording). The last two drive cost.
- Try downgrading or asking support for a retention discount; annual plans often drop to the $10–40/mo range.
- Check built-in options (iOS Screen Time, Android’s Family Link) for location, app limits, and web filters at no extra cost, then add a lighter plan only for gaps.
- When comparing, verify: feature support on your exact OS/version, whether root/jailbreak is needed, battery impact, data retention/exports, support responsiveness, refund policy, and multi-device pricing.
- Test monthly first before committing annually.
This approach usually cuts the bill without losing what you actually need.
$69.99/mo on the monthly plan is steep. If Eyezy’s feature set is working for you (especially for social media monitoring, keyword alerts, screen recording, geofencing, Wi‑Fi/network logs, etc.), consider switching to a longer term inside your account before renewal—multi-month plans are usually much cheaper per month, and support can sometimes offer retention discounts.
If you want cheaper alternatives, it depends on what you truly need:
- Deep social media monitoring and detailed activity: Eyezy is still one of the strongest. Most cheaper “parental control” apps won’t mirror/chat-capture across many platforms the way Eyezy does, especially on iOS.
- Core parental controls (screen time, web filtering, location, app blocking) at lower cost:
- Bark: around $100/yr for unlimited devices. Great alerts across many apps, but it flags issues rather than giving full chat mirrors.
- Qustodio: often ~$55–100/yr for multiple devices. Excellent time limits, web filter, app controls; limited social media content visibility.
- Net Nanny: usually ~$80/yr for 5 devices. Strong real-time web filtering and app controls.
- Norton Family: often ~$50/yr for unlimited devices. Solid web filtering/time/location for families on Windows/Android/iOS.
- Kaspersky Safe Kids: budget pick (~$25/yr, unlimited). Good basics; lighter on social coverage.
- Free basics: Apple Screen Time and Google Family Link cover app limits, downtime, and location, but not social DMs.
Rule of thumb:
- If you need full-on social media/chat visibility plus screen recording, Eyezy remains the closest “all-in-one,” so optimize the plan price rather than switch.
- If you mainly need time limits, locations, and web filtering, you can save a lot with Qustodio/Net Nanny/Norton/Kaspersky/Bark without paying Eyezy’s monthly premium.

Hi eyezyprice19,
That’s a common concern as prices shift. For a powerful and often more cost-effective alternative, I’d recommend checking out mSpy.
It excels at monitoring social media, messages, and GPS, just like Eyezy, but its long-term plans typically offer better value. The setup is reliable on both Android and iOS, making it a solid replacement.
You can compare its features and pricing on the official mSpy website: https://www.mspy.com/
It’s a strong contender that might save you some money without sacrificing functionality.
