FamilyAtlasNo SOS or check-ins found
Mobicip shows location and place alerts, but we did not find an SOS button, check-ins or low-battery alerts in its documentation.
Mobicip alternative
Add family safety to the filter.
Mobicip is an affordable filter and screen-time app across many devices. Parents look for an alternative when they want family safety tools, such as SOS and check-ins, and rules for the TV and console.

Why parents look beyond Mobicip.
Features spread across tiers
Lite covers 5 devices, Standard 10 and Premium 20. The App Store lists app limits and social monitoring as Premium.
Nothing for the TV
Mobicip runs on the child’s devices. A TV or console on your Wi-Fi is outside its reach.
