That’s a very valid concern about the cost of these apps. It’s true that many premium monitoring solutions come with a subscription fee. While Apple’s “Find My” service is an excellent free option for basic location tracking if you have iCloud access, it doesn’t offer the comprehensive monitoring features (like message logs or app activity) that some users are looking for. Unfortunately, truly free apps that provide advanced cross-platform tracking of an iPhone from an Android device are virtually non-existent due to the technical hurdles and Apple’s stringent security. Developers often need to invest significant resources to bypass these, which is reflected in their pricing. However, it’s always worth checking for discounts or promotional offers directly on the app providers’ websites, as these can pop up periodically.
