Overall Rating: 2.8 / 5 (Average)

Locategy's strengths lie in its robust and user friendly location services, as well as its usage control features. The app lacks many of the social media and messaging monitoring services we've come to expect from parental control apps these days. Also, the pricing structure is a little confusing and there is always a limit on the amount of devices you can connect. Still, parents looking for a strong locator and geofencing app to keep track of their children's location will be well served with Locategy for the price.

Locategy Features & Services

Features & Services - 3.5 / 5

As their name implies, Locategy has particularly strong location and geofencing services. The application, however, lacks some of the more desirable filtering and monitoring features possessed by other providers we evaluate. Locategy does not filter websites per se, but allows parents to specify types of sites they don't want their children visiting and blocks them entirely. Monitoring services do not include texts (SMS), which is the most common way children communicate. Similarly, with apps, calls, and websites, Locategy can only report on when and how long children were active, not the details of what they were doing. Locategy does provide app blocking and usage scheduling. Its geofencing services are under the guise of "places" in the app. Parents are able to set 150 meter boundaries and receive alerts when their child enters or leaves the area.

Locategy Pricing & Subscription Model

Pricing & Subscription Model - 4 / 5

Locatology offers a free version that you can download from the app store or Google Play. In terms of geofencing, the free version only allows two places. Also, it only provides activity reports for five days worth of activity (web browsing, calls, app usage and location). The free version only has the capacity to block one app as well.

Customers have a choice to upgrade to three different "Premium" plans through the app itself. Pricing is estimated as the quotes are in Euros. All of these packages offer the same monitoring, filtering, location services, and usage control features, and only differ in the amount of devices the customer can use. Locategy allows 3, 5, and 10 devices depending on the plan. These devices can be split between parents/caregivers and children. For example with 10 devices, you can split it between 3 adult monitors and 7 children. This is a little clunky as many of the providers we cover allow unlimited devices and users.

Plan 1/Price

Three devices - About $20

Plan 2/Price

Five devices - About $35

Plan 3/Price

Ten devices - About $70

Locategy Customer Experience

Customer Experience - 4 / 5

Based in Spain, Locategy has no presence on the BBB or Trustpilot. There is also a dearth of consumer reviews online. Locategy, however, was favorably reviewed by PC Magazine in 2018. The app only works over mobile device and does not offer features for PC or Mac at this time.
