TheOneSpy column checked against its public website on 4 October 2026.
TheOneSpy is a trademark of its owner. This comparison uses TheOneSpy's public website as it stood on 4 October 2026 and covers its Windows and Mac computer monitoring; TheOneSpy also sells Android and iPhone monitoring and is mainly a parental control product. TheOneSpy does not list all features for all plans, so a feature missing from its pages may still exist; ask TheOneSpy before you decide. Features vary by operating system version, plan and permissions. TheOneSpy states that its app stays visible with a recurring notice and that monitoring an adult needs written consent. Mera Work offers a visible mode and a silent background mode; notice and consent are the employer's responsibility under local law. Plans and prices change. Mera Work is not affiliated with or endorsed by TheOneSpy.

Windows and Mac Premier are $29 a month, $49 a quarter or $69 a year for one device, with 5 and 10 device options, and its custom plans price features separately with a $10 minimum.
