Net Nanny review 2026

Real-time content filtering that reads the page rather than checking a list — the strongest web filter after Qustodio

PriceFrom $54.99 · checked Sep 11, 2026

Per year54.99 $

Is the Net Nanny Worth It?

Best real-time web filter. Net Nanny's filter caught things category lists miss, including new sites and forum pages, and it is the reason to choose it. Qustodio does everything else better at the same price.

Net Nanny Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Filters by analysing page content live — blocked 35 of 40
  • Profanity masking and app blocking
  • Family Feed shows searches and blocked attempts as they happen
  • Mac app, which Norton lacks
Cons
  • No Chromebook app
  • No message monitoring
  • Slightly more than Qustodio for fewer features
