A Kaspersky Safe Kids alternative — how KidPair is different
Many parents know Kaspersky Safe Kids. But if you need more than filters and limits — staying in touch with your child and rules you can agree on together — take a look at KidPair. A comparison by facts: everything about Safe Kids comes from its store listings and Kaspersky's site as of 12 November 2026.

Where KidPair is better
- Safety is always free. Where the child is now, the SOS button, chat and family calls need no subscription. If a subscription ends, everything already set up keeps working.
- Connection, not just restrictions. SOS rings loudly on the parent's phone even in silent mode and opens the map. Calls inside KidPair and a family chat with photos and voice messages work even during a break. SOS
- The child sees the rules. The child's app has a "My rules" screen: what is limited, how much is left and which adult set what. The child can ask for more time and you answer with one tap. Rules that are visible mean fewer fights. How it works
- No surprise breaks. Five minutes before a break the child sees "Time to save and finish your game". Warnings
- Tasks and rewards. Tidied the room, did the homework — earned coins to swap for extra time or a goal. Tasks
- No ads, no third-party analytics; family data stays on KidPair's own server.
Try it
KidPair works on Android 10 and newer. The first 7 days include everything, free, no card; after that, a family subscription at 3.99 € a month or 29.99 € a year, or the free version. It's better not to install two parental control apps on one phone: they get in each other's way.
