Mobicip Named Best Budget Parental Control App by Forbes Vetted

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news.

Mobicip has been named the Best Budget Parental Control App by Forbes Vetted! This recognition means a lot to us because it shines a light on something we’ve always believed: every family deserves access to safe, simple, and affordable tools to guide their children’s digital journey.

As parents, we all know the moment is coming. No matter how hard we may try to resist it, our kids will eventually get their hands on a tablet or a smartphone. Suddenly, their world expands far beyond the walls of our home—and while that can be exciting, it can also feel overwhelming. The internet is vast, wonderful, and yes, sometimes a little wild. That’s why it’s important to be be prepared.

Forbes captured this sentiment perfectly: “The best thing parents can do is to be prepared for this stage—and have open conversations about online safety.” We couldn’t agree more. Conversations, guidance, and the right tools are what make digital parenting less about fear and more about confidence.

At Mobicip, we know parenting today is already a juggling act—we’ve been parents too. Between school runs, work commitments, and everything in between, the last thing families need is another complicated or expensive service. Our goal has always been to create something simple, effective, and accessible.

Of course, affordability isn’t the only reason we’re celebrating. This recognition reflects something bigger: the growing awareness that online safety matters, and that parents are looking for tools they can trust. More and more families are realizing that setting limits, creating balance, and guiding kids online isn’t about restricting them—it’s about giving them the freedom to explore safely.

We see this recognition as a celebration of every family who’s taken a proactive step toward digital safety. It’s for the mom who wants to make sure homework comes before YouTube, the dad who wants peace of mind at bedtime, and the grandparents who simply want to know their grandkids are safe when they’re online.

At Mobicip, we believe that technology can be a force for good. The goal isn’t to cut kids off from the digital world but to help them navigate it with balance, boundaries, and confidence. That’s what makes this award from Forbes so special—it acknowledges that safe, affordable solutions really do make a difference.

So today, we want to celebrate with you—the families who trust us every day. Thank you for making Mobicip part of your parenting journey. This recognition from Forbes belongs as much to you as it does to us.

Here’s to raising a generation of kids who are smart, safe, and balanced online—and to keeping that mission accessible to all families.
