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)

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'm not disputing the need for a filter, I just think many companies are taking us for a ride, as they know that by following the rabbis advice, any price will be paid.
Some happens with many things by us yidalach.
From what I heard, actually some filters monthly fees do not cover the costs of running them.
Not everyone is out to make money off of you.

Not as if there is nothing wrong with free enterprise, if that would be the case - may the best product with the best value win. And in the case of filters, there are different use cases, so some may be good for some people...

Right, so since Excel saves you 3000 hours of work each month, paying $1500 a month should have been a bargain.
difference is that there are tons of free excels out there.

Many products with significant R&D or infrastructure costs targeting the ultra Orthodox aren't really catering to a large enough audience to sell at a minimal markup over operational and manufacturing costs and make it up in volume to recoup development costs and pay the owners respectably. This is always going to be an issue when you're catering to a niche.

This niche is many thousands of people.
That is very profitable.

Exactly, so Excel can't milk people as much.

Like any business, that some make it and don't.

If popular they cover themselves.

Is there any way to remove the whole thing and start again with a new filter?

That is impossible to say if you are not familiar with the financials, the costs etc.
Many thousands of people is many thousands of people.
It does not mean very profitable.

I've been told that there is away which I have not done to make it secure.

He did not install NetFree's device protection software (WiFree)

Without that you can disconnect any time...
