Cool thing they also have there is an extensive list of filtering options:

For Android
https://truple.io/androidfilter.html (Free android filter)

For iPhone/iPad/iOs
Check out their quite easy and powerful content restrictions.
Suggestion: Have someone else have the password (or half and half with a spouse) and do the following:
Lock installing apps + remove browser + add apps you need (possible rules: no games, no sports, no entertainment, etc.).
[Occasionally an app will have a built in browser/or need to access a certain website - just go back in to settings (with password) and add that website].
There is time restrictions and more features too.
(May not be enough for teenagers - consult your own advisers - this solution sure beats doing nothing and there is no excuse)

DNS
https://www.opendns.com/ (can be used in routers or directly in PC) - Free

Pricing info may not be accurate and is only on full filters (not email only), feel free to correct, and does not include installation costs. I am working on a comprehensive comparison list
here it is

I was on Netspark, but had issues and left it. What is recommended for Android phones, and for a laptop?

(I forgot my old username, so new account)

Thank you

Any way to limit data usage based on time of day in an iPhone?

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Waitimes at TAG are crazy these days. 30 people waiting in the phone queue is typical.

Give it a week or two. They're currently training new reps and revamping their system.

How about using a hosts file solution - E.g. downloading the following and adding it to /etc/hosts on your devices.
It's not the best solution, but I cannot have 3rd party crapware on my devices that I have to pay for and interfere with
VPN tunnels.

I am looking to use the android tablet for my e-mails, regular google search, music app, and camera.  We do not want to have access to FB, you tube, or any social media sites.

Andriod 5
We would like something on the less expensive side. 

Lives in Israel.  I assume boils down to VCF/Gentech/Livigent, Netspark.  Don't know anything about android filters though. Any advice or recommendations?

You are right that AFAIK there aren't any real cheap but good solutions. Since he's looking for the cheaper side I guess Netspark is the better option, since all the others (which are all Livengent based) are double the price.
