There are a few ways to get Circle Parental Controls and use the Circle Home Plus in your home:
- Purchase a Circle Home Plus in from MeetCircle.com or another retail location that comes with either 3-months, 1-year, or a lifetime of Circle's Premium subscription included in the price.
- Purchase an in-app subscription with a free 14-day trial to try Circle Parental Controls for mobile devices only.
- Start a subscription in-app and then use the option to purchase Circle Home Plus in the app.
Circle Parental Control App and Circle Home Plus
When you buy Circle Home Plus from MeetCircle.com, or a retailer like Amazon/Best Buy, you're buying the bundled version of Circle Home Plus. This means that you're getting the hardware device along with either a 3-month, 1-year or a lifetime premium subscription depending on what unit you buy.
You'll want to get the bundled version if you're interested in using Circle Home Plus to manage your devices at home alongside manage mobile devices. Find this online at Circle's Website!
Already purchased a 3-month or 12-month bundled Circle Home Plus and want to upgrade to the lifetime subscription? See an option to purchase that upgrade here.
Circle Parental Control App Only
Don't need to manage your device's on your home network? You can use the Circle Parental Control app to just manage your family's mobile iOS and Android devices. We even include a 14-day trial to let you try out our features. Start using the app today by downloading and creating an account. You'll then choose the app only option during set up to start your trial.
During the Circle subscription start you can choose a monthly subscription or an annual renewing subscription for a discount (see the pricing for both in-app for more info).
App Subscription + Unbundled Circle Home Plus
The standalone version of Circle Home Plus doesn't include a subscription credit and is only available once you've signed up for a Circle subscription via in-app purchase. It is only available through the Circle App. To take advantage of this option, download the Circle app and follow the prompts to start your free trial!
You'll want the standalone version if you already have a Circle subscription for managing your iOS and Android devices but also want to use Circle Home Plus to manage your home Wi-Fi.
Avoiding Double subscriptions
If you purchased a Circle subscription through an in-app purchase and proceed to buy the Circle Home Plus + subscription bundle at a retail location or from MeetCircle.com, you may end up with two separate subscription:
- The monthly in-app purchase
- The 3-month, 1-year, or lifetime bundled subscription.
If this occurs, you will need to stop the monthly subscription via the appropriate app store. To avoid duplicate subscriptions, we recommend only purchasing Circle Home Plus through the in-app offer via the sidebar menu if you already have purchased a Circle subscription.
