The current Witigo website promotes Witigo Éducation for educational deployments. Availability of the older consumer Parental Filter subscription cannot be confirmed for a new household setup.
What happened to Witigo Parental Filter?
The earlier consumer product focused on filtering and session management. The education offering is a different buying decision; do not assume that its features, licence or support apply to an older household subscription.
What existing customers should do
Existing customers should check their exact edition, licence and operating-system support with the provider. The education service is separate from a household subscription. For a new household setup, compare dedicated family controls below.
Before removing an old app, check whether it has device-administrator access, a management profile or location permissions. Follow the device’s normal removal steps, then check the replacement’s controls on the child’s actual device. Use transparent family rules and limit access to personal messages and location.
Alternatives to consider
For Windows screen-time and web controls, start with our Qustodio review. Compare Norton Family and Mobicip for your household’s devices; their supported features differ. Activity reports alone do not enforce a time limit or block a website.
