filttr vs Nativ
Nativ is one of the established names in kosher internet filtering. filttr is built around the iPhone you already own. Here is how to compare them without the marketing.
Nativ has a long track record in the frum community and offers filtering across devices. filttr focuses only on Apple — iPhone, iPad and Mac — using a supervised managed profile. The comparison is less “which brand is bigger” and more “which model fits your home.”
What matters in a filter
- Does it cover the whole phone or only the browser?
- Can the user remove or bypass it?
- Does it keep banking, work apps and Torah sites working?
- Who handles requests, and how fast?
- What does setup require?
Nativ’s model
Nativ is known for a managed filtering service with different plans, including allowlist and category-based filtering, and support for multiple device types. It is a mature option with an established support process. Check its current plans and device support directly, because they change.
filttr’s model
filttr is Apple-only and uses a supervised profile. The phone is prepared once, the filter is locked on, DNS is forced, the App Store is controlled and Image Guard covers Safari pictures. Requests are handled in the dashboard, with AI for clear cases and a person for sensitive ones.
Where filttr is different
- Built only for iPhone, iPad and Mac, not a cross-platform catch-all.
- Managed setup with a locked profile rather than a browser-only layer.
- Image Guard included for Safari pictures.
- Per-device levels and a mosad dashboard.
How to choose
If you need one provider for many platforms, an established multi-device service may fit better. If your devices are Apple and you want a locked, managed filter with image protection, filttr is designed for that. Ask both providers the same questions about removal, bypass and support, then decide.
Frequently asked questions
Is filttr a replacement for Nativ?
It can be for Apple-only homes that want a managed, locked filter. Nativ may fit better if you need broad multi-platform coverage.
Which has better support?
Both offer human support. Compare response times and how requests are handled for your family or mosad.
Does filttr filter Mac?
Yes, along with iPhone and iPad.
Can I use both?
Running two filters at once is usually unnecessary and can conflict. Choose one primary filter.
