– 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 on-device AI for the phones kids carry. It analyzes language at the Smart Keyboard for bullying, sextortion, grooming, and self-harm, then alerts parents in real time. 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 analyzes text on the device, 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.
