Billing is one system. Protection is another.
GuardianBlock is USD $10 a month for one protected adult, one accountability partner, and up to three personal Windows 11 devices. Billing and protection are separate: cancelling or a failed payment never silently unblocks a device.
One plan, billed monthly.
GuardianBlock is a single, simple subscription — no tiers and no add-ons to decode.
- 01
USD $10 per month
One subscription covers one protected adult, one accountability partner, and up to three of your own Windows 11 devices — the same price whether you protect one device or three. Priced in US dollars. If your card is in another currency, your bank converts at its own rate.
- 02
Cancel anytime
You can cancel your subscription whenever you want from your account. Cancelling stops future billing; it does not flip a switch on your device — more on that below.
- 03
One plan, no tiers
Every subscription gets the same product. GuardianBlock does not split protection across paid levels or hold features back behind an upgrade.
Paying for GuardianBlock and being protected are not the same switch.
Billing tracks whether your subscription is active. Protection is governed by the keyholder model and the local Windows app. Billing state never directly activates or deactivates protection on a device.
Three billing moments, walked through.
Billing never silently unblocks a device
A change in your billing status doesn't reach into a device and quietly drop your protection. Turning protection off still goes through the supported, keyholder-accountable path — not a payment webhook.
Cancelling winds down with notice — not a sudden switch-off
If you cancel, your protection continues through the term you've already paid for. After that, the change is a noticed wind-down rather than a sudden switch-off the moment a payment stops.
A failed payment does not switch protection off
If a charge fails, GuardianBlock is designed to run a short retry-and-reminder grace period, then move into a time-boxed Local Safety Mode if it stays unresolved — keeping your existing protection and last-known-good rules in place while the payment gets sorted out.
The payer isn't automatically the partner
The person who pays isn't automatically your accountability partner or your security authority. Who holds the key, and who can authorize sensitive changes, is set by the keyholder model — not by whose card is on file.
See pricing for what a subscription covers, what your partner can and can't see for the people side, and the FAQ for the common questions.
Protection that doesn't hinge on a payment webhook.
Start GuardianBlock to set it up with a keyholder you trust. Your protection follows that arrangement, not your payment status.
