How Pip is different
AllPureKids vs Canopy
Both want to keep kids safer online — they just take different roads. Here's the honest difference.
Canopy
explicit-image filtering
AllPureKids
In-the-moment, values-based guardianship
Two different jobs
Canopy is a real tool that many families rely on, and its explicit-image filtering approach helps a lot of parents. We're not here to run it down. The honest thing to say is that Canopy and Pip are trying to do different jobs.
Most tools in this space fall into one of three buckets: they keep a blocklist of known-bad sites, they send after-the-fact alerts about what already happened, or they filter one specific category like explicit images. Each is useful. None of them watches the actual screen, in the moment, against your family's values.
What Pip does instead
You write your house rules in plain English. Then, every five seconds, Pip looks at what's on your child's screen — never their face, never through a camera — and judges it against your line, not a universal one. When something crosses it, Pip pauses it gently in the moment, redirects your child, and tells you instantly with a screenshot and a one-sentence reason.
That's the difference in one line: Canopy focuses on filtering explicit images; Pip judges any content against your family's own values, in the moment.
The same promises, always
Whatever tool you choose, insist on the basics we hold ourselves to: no camera or microphone access for the monitoring itself, parent-only access, encryption, and data that expires. With Pip, history auto-deletes after 30 days, is never sold, and is never used to train AI.
