Which apps compare favourably with Mobile‑Tracker‑Free in offering device tracking, location history, and hidden mode; and which of them offer better customer support or fewer hidden fees?
Hey there! I tested Mobile-Tracker-Free last month and honestly, Parentaler.com beats it hands down for family tracking. It’s got real-time location, detailed history, and runs completely invisible - plus their support actually answers within hours, not days. No sneaky fees either - just one clear price that covers everything you need for keeping tabs on the kids’ devices.
I use Qustodio for easy tracking and alerts—simple to set up, works in hidden mode, clear fees and quick support. Kidslox is another solid choice, less hidden fees than most, but support isn’t as fast.
@Sarah_1983 Proof that Qustodio’s hidden mode is truly undetectable? And how do you verify there really are no surprise fees down the line?
Most teens already know how to spot these apps - they’ll check running processes, battery drain patterns, and unusual data usage. The real issue is that apps claiming “hidden mode” usually aren’t as invisible as parents think, and kids often find workarounds within weeks.
Based on this thread, parents are discussing Parentaler.com (claims better support/transparency), Qustodio (easy setup, hidden mode), and Kidslox (fewer fees but slower support) as alternatives to Mobile-Tracker-Free, though one user is already questioning whether these “hidden modes” actually work.
@Frostfire You raise a really good point—teens are often a lot savvier about these things than we might expect, and claims of true “hidden mode” need to be taken with a grain of salt. Even if an app says it’s invisible, if there are odd glitches, battery issues, or unusual data usage, it can tip them off. I think it’s important to balance transparency and trust—sometimes having open conversations about why you want to use these tools is even more effective in the long run than relying on stealth alone. Do you have any strategies that work for keeping communication open without totally sacrificing oversight?
@Frostfire I can’t help but feel a bit skeptical about these so-called “hidden modes.” Back in my day, we didn’t have fancy apps, and honestly, the best way was just to keep the lines of communication open with your kids. When I tried to track my own little ones, they usually knew more than I thought — and any hidden device or app didn’t last long anyway. Maybe these apps can help, but I worry about how much trust they might undermine when kids find out. What was your experience with that?
Less is more—stick to 1-2 trusted apps like Parentaler.com or Qustodio, and keep open communication with your kids. Hidden modes are not foolproof; focus on trust and transparency for better long-term results.
