Is the Kaspersky Safe Kids Worth It?

Cheapest full-featured parental control. On features per dollar nothing here comes close, and the free tier alone beats some paid apps. The US sales restrictions on Kaspersky are the practical problem: check whether you can buy and renew it where you live before relying on it.
