CyberSafely
vs Securly
Securly is a K-12 platform for web filtering, wellness monitoring, and AI guardrails on school-managed devices. CyberSafely detects harmful conversations on the personal device at the keyboard—on any network, in any app. Here’s how the two compare.
– THE DIFFERENCE –
CyberSafely vs Securly, at a glance
Securly calls itself the student safety company for K-12. Used in 26,000+ schools, it combines web filtering, wellness monitoring with expert analysts, classroom and parent visibility, and newer AI-transparency guardrails (prompt-level visibility across third-party AI tools). It is FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR aligned and SOC 2 Type 2 certified.
CyberSafely is Smart Keyboard monitoring for the phones kids carry. Typed text is sent to Google Gemini for bullying, sextortion, grooming, and self-harm, saved, and turned into a real-time parent alert. Coverage is not limited to the school filter or the school Chromebook.
The practical difference: Securly is strongest at keeping school-managed browsing, wellness signals, and AI use inside district policy. CyberSafely is strongest at catching harmful conversations on personal devices that never touch the school network.

– WHY CYBERSAFELY –
What sets us apart
Works off the school network
A district filter cannot see a Discord chat on cellular data. CyberSafely reviews text typed on the personal phone, so protection doesn’t stop at the campus edge or the Chromebook.
Parents own the alert
CyberSafely is a family product that schools can join. Securly is a district product that families may see through a school portal. The starting point—and who is in control—is different.
Language, not just URLs and prompts
Filtering blocks sites and AI-transparency tools watch prompts. CyberSafely reads risk in the words kids type to other people, which is where grooming and bullying actually unfold.
