Pricing and payment

How much does Gardion cost?

The free plan covers one PC and one child, forever. Family is 799 ₽ a year and adds Android, per-app limits and bypass protection. Premium is 1,499 ₽ a year — the same features for up to five devices and five children.

Is there a trial?

Yes, 14 days, no card needed. You pay only when you decide to stay.

Is this a subscription with auto-charges?

No. There is no subscription: once a year you choose to renew or not. We don’t store your payment details.

What’s the difference between Family and Premium?

Only capacity: up to five devices and five children instead of three. The feature set is the same; Premium adds priority support, answered by the developer.

Privacy

Do you read the child’s messages?

No. Gardion manages time and access. The dashboard shows minutes per app, browser history and location — we don’t read messages.

Does the child know control is on?

Yes, the child sees on screen that protection is active. There is no hidden spying in Gardion: clear rules hold better than secret watching.

What exactly goes into the reports?

The day’s events, minutes per app, browser history and a dot on the map. A full walkthrough with real dashboard screens is in the article what parents see in reports.

Bypass protection

Won’t the child just uninstall the app?

Not quietly. On Android, Gardion runs as a device administrator: it interrupts an attempt to open the uninstall screen and immediately alerts the parent.

Will a VPN or Safe Mode get around the limit?

The limit sits on the app itself, so the network doesn’t affect it. Family includes protection against VPN, Safe Mode and system-file workarounds.

Where can I read about the workarounds you handle?

We publish the breakdowns openly: how parental controls get removed covers each popular app, and Windows workarounds covers the PC.

Devices

Which devices are supported?

The child’s Android phones and tablets, and Windows computers. The parent sets everything up from their own phone.

What about iPhone?

Not yet. Gardion currently covers Android and Windows; an iOS version is planned.

How many devices can I connect?

Free covers one PC. Family covers up to three devices and three children, and Premium raises that to five and five.

Installation

How do I install Gardion?

Gardion Family goes on the parent’s phone, Gardion Kids on the child’s device, and they link with a code. The step-by-step guide with real screenshots is on the installation page.
