CleanCut alternative for Android TV and Google TV

Plain answer: CleanCut is a profanity filter for Apple TV, so it is the one to look at if you own an Apple TV. Family Filter TV follows the same general idea on a different platform: it mutes spoken profanity on Android TV and Google TV while the picture keeps playing, with an Android phone as the companion. It does not run on Apple TV.

What CleanCut is

CleanCut is a profanity filter made for Apple TV. This page does not repeat details about how it works, what it filters or what it costs, because those are for CleanCut to state: check their site or its App Store listing for the current facts.

Family Filter TV is built for the other side of the divide. It runs on Android TV and Google TV sets and boxes, with a companion app on an Android phone, and it mutes spoken profanity while the picture keeps playing.

Which one fits you

Choose CleanCut if your television setup is Apple TV. Family Filter TV does not run on Apple TV, and this page cannot make it.

Check CleanCut's site for what it filters. Family Filter TV filters spoken profanity only, not violence or nudity, and depends on subtitles being available for the title.
If you have a mixed household with both Apple TV and Android TV, the two are different products for different devices; they are not interchangeable.
