Whose phone is it for?

Which plans you can choose, and how to try it again, depend on whose phone it is.

Your first 14 days cost nothing, even when they end: no card is registered, so the phone simply goes back to the free lock on one app. A subscription's free trial is different: unless you cancel, it turns into a paid subscription.

Every feature free for the first 14 days. No card needed.

  1. Install Live Lock and set a parent PIN, and your first 14 days are free, with every feature, no purchase and no card
  2. After the first 14 days, only the lock on one app stays free. Your settings stay, and come back with a purchase

After the first 14 days

  • To continue, choose a subscription (1 month, 6 months or 1 year) or Lifetime
  • Subscriptions come with a 14-day free trial. Unless you cancel, it turns into a paid subscription; cancel during it and nothing is charged
  • Google Play asks for a payment method when you start a subscription's free trial.

On a phone installing it for the first time, the first 14 days are free.

  1. Install Live Lock on your child's phone and set a parent PIN, and its first 14 days are free, with every feature. No purchase, no card, no parent approval
  2. After the first 14 days, only the lock on one app stays free. Your settings stay

After the first 14 days

  • To continue, buy a prepaid plan or Lifetime on your child's phone, with your approval
  • To try every feature again, start a subscription's 14-day free trial on your own phone and hand over the code with "Give the trial to your child's phone". Paste it into "Receive a trial from a parent" on your child's phone (for the QR code, scan it with your child's phone camera and copy the code). For siblings, paste the same code on each phone
  • If you started the free trial only to hand it over, cancel your subscription during the trial and nothing is charged. Even if you cancel after handing it over, the trial on your child's phone continues until its end date.
  • You can hand over the trial without setting up any app locks on your own phone.
  • Auto-renewing subscriptions can't be chosen on a child's account.

  • Approval requests arrive in your Family Link.
  • Auto-renewing subscriptions can't be chosen on a child's account.

Renewal reminder

Prepaid plans don't renew on their own. So protection never lapses without anyone noticing, you can choose to put your child's phone into full lock (calls still work) starting 1 month, 2 weeks or 1 week before the end date (we recommend 2 weeks), so your child comes to you about renewing. Whether to set it is up to you.

Lifetime

Once. For good.

Free vs. paid

For the first 14 days, everyone gets every feature free. Every paid plan protects the same way.

From "App locks" down, the Free column shows how it works after the first 14 days. The first 14 days cost nothing, even when they end. On a child's account (managed with Family Link), auto-renewing subscriptions can't be chosen. Prepaid plans and Lifetime can be bought with a parent's approval. Prepaid plans have no free trial. For a child's phone whose first 14 days are over, follow the steps under "Your child's phone" above.

Get it on Google Play

Billing and cancellation are handled by Google Play.

  • One purchase covers one phone (one Google account)
  • Prepaid plans don't renew on their own. Extend them from the app before they end; the extra time is added to what's left
  • Prices are in US dollars and billed in your local currency
  • Billing, cancellation and refunds follow Google Play's terms

Common questions

I can't choose monthly on my child's phone

Auto-renewing subscriptions can't be chosen on a child's account. Buy a prepaid plan (1 month, 6 months or 1 year) or Lifetime, with a parent's approval. To try it first, see "Your child's phone" above.

Can I change plans later?

Auto-renewing subscriptions can be changed from Google Play's subscription settings. For a prepaid plan, extend it from the app before it ends, or choose another plan after it ends.

I have two phones for two kids

Each phone needs its own. On each phone, the first 14 days are free.

What if I change phones?

Sign in with the same Google account and tap Restore purchase on the purchase screen.
