What does Grace do better?
Grace has three other essential benefits besides having more powerful features than other MDM parental control apps.
You don’t have to sacrifice your child’s privacy
Unlike most other apps, Grace is built on Apple’s official Screen Time API. We don’t use MDM and VPN profiles so that we don’t invade you and your child’s privacy by design. Grace operates using random tokens and IDs and has no access to your child’s sensitive data.
Grace can’t see:
If you want to understand what risks you might take your child into using old-style parental control apps, here is an overview of why MDM-based parental control apps are dangerous.
Grace is much more affordable
The old MDM solution requires a server to route the device traffic, significantly increasing costs. We operate on-device only, so you won’t have to cover our extra fees.
Grace is uninstall protected
Children can’t delete Grace without their parent’s approval and bypass restrictions as they can do with Ourpact. So parents don’t need to worry about their restrictions being ignored by kids and keeping the app functional.
