The Family plan is a better value, but 10 device licenses may be overkill for parents who need to monitor two or three devices. Boomerang also offers a more palatable Family Plan for 10 device licenses at a cost of $30.99 per year. For only a single device license, this is on the expensive side. For a single device license, Boomerang charges $15.99 per year.
