Xnspy Vs. FlexiSpy:
The Ultimate Comparison

b. Call Logs and Recordings

Parents who use monitoring applications can view their children’s entire call logs, including incoming, outgoing, and missed calls.

Xnspy and FlexiSpy both provide detailed information so you can view the contact name, number, call duration, call type, and timestamp for every call. Leveraging the SIM location, Xnspy goes a step further and provides the location from where the call was made or attended.

When it comes to call recording, Xnspy automatically records all phone calls from start to end, but for Flexispy, you first have to send a command for any call to be recorded.

c. Email Monitoring

Email monitoring is a valuable feature for monitoring children and ensuring that they are not encountering scams, making unnecessary purchases, or engaging in any other relevant activity. For this purpose, most tracking applications provide email monitoring features such as:

• Incoming and outgoing emails
• Email addresses of sender or receiver
• Date and timestamps of the emails
• Email body and subject lines
• Instant email monitoring through keywords

Most of the email monitoring features are common between Xnspy and FlexiSpy, except for Watchlist emails and words. These instant alerts to notify parents of flagged activity through Watchlists are only available in Xnspy.

The following table lists down email monitoring features available in Xnspy and FlexiSpy.

Overall, Xnspy captures email activity from all major email platforms on both Android and iPhone. On the other hand, for FlexiSpy, only Gmail activity on Android phones is tracked, while logs from the Mail app on iPhones are collected. Regardless, as is evident, both apps’ email monitoring features are compatible with Android and iOS devices.

d. Photos, Videos, and Audio Files

Tracking applications are not limited to monitoring online activity, but also the offline activity of a user. With these applications, you can view video and image files on the target device. But what about Xnspy and FlexiSpy? Both the applications discussed here provide access to the photo gallery of Android and iOS devices.

The files are uploaded to a server from where they are accessed by the user. Not only can you view these files, but also download photos for viewing at a later time. Be it any device you are using, with Xnspy and FlexiSpy, you can easily view and download images and videos on the target device.

But to access these files alongside the timestamps of when they were created, users can log into their accounts at any time.

Xnspy

Xnspy allows users to access new files on the target phone, including photos and videos that were created before the installation of the app.

FlexiSpy

FlexiSpy allows users to monitor images and videos, supporting different file formats, which makes the app reliable for accessing and viewing files available on the target device.

g. Browsing History and Bookmarks

Xnspy

With Xnspy, users can view the browsing history of the target device, no matter the browser and mode in use. The recorded history includes the visited site’s URL, name, number of visits, and the timestamp of their last visit. Moreover, bookmarked websites are also visible in a separate subcategory. For further insight, all the collected data is analyzed to present statistics like the top 10 most visited websites.

FlexiSpy

Similarly, FlexiSpy allows users to view all the browsed and bookmarked sites with date and time stamps.

The following table summarizes this:

h. Remote Controlling

Xnspy

Xnspy provides remote control features such as locking the phone, wiping data (in case of theft), and blocking applications.

FlexiSpy

FlexiSpy allows users to remotely uninstall the monitoring application and restart the phone. These features are available for Android and iOS.

2. Performance Comparison of Xnspy and Flexispy

One of the key factors in determining the overall functionality of an application lies not only in the features it offers, but also in its performance. An application is only as good as how well it performs, no matter how many features it provides.

Many tracking applications have problems such as quickly draining the battery of the target device, increasing data usage, and causing visibility issues. Therefore, even if the app promised stealth mode and is not visible on the target device, these factors can ring bells. Not only that, but due to the backing of the collected data onto a server, security concerns are also paramount.

Storage and Security

Xnspy offers unlimited data storage capacity for users. You can have unlimited multimedia files, text messages and call logs on the server and retrieve them anytime. However, call recordings are only up on the server for 60 days. You can download them before they are removed.

FlexiSpy allows users to download call recording, call logs, list of all contacts and photos from the application. Although videos and audio files cannot be downloaded from FlexiSpy, they can be accessed on the dashboard. Details of call logs and contacts can be downloaded in the form of spreadsheets for later usage.

No third party can gain access to the data served on the serves. So the data that is uploaded is protected. Only the person who has access to the login details of the user dashboard account can view and download the data.

Battery Consumption and Data Usage

Battery consumption is a major issue faced by users of monitoring applications. In order to monitor a device, all of the information is transmitted through Wi-Fi. This causes the battery to be depleted at higher rates. However, Xnspy offers users to change settings on the control panel in order to save on battery and data consumption. You can toggle features in the Settings tab to choose options such as “Upload Media Content on Wi-Fi” and “Upload Media Content on Charge.” This saves battery and data on the target device. However, this may impact your ability to receive instant updates.

Unfortunately, FlexiSpy does not offer this option which causes battery depletion and data consumption at an increased rate. Therefore, despite the number of features offered, this drawback can hamper the performance of the app and make the target person suspicious even without the app being visible.

5. Installation Process Comparison of Xnspy and Flexispy

The installation process for Android and iOS devices can vary depending on the software in question. Let’s see how Xnspy’s download and setup compares to FlexiSpy’s.

Xnspy

Xnspy provides two types of installation procedures depending on the target device, i.e., Android and iOS devices. For Android, the installation process is straightforward since you just need to have physical access to the target device and install the application by following the steps in its guide. Now, where iOS devices are concerned, the procedure is the same, with the users required to gain physical access. However, the steps are different due to its specific settings.

FlexiSpy

To install FlexiSpy on the target phone, you need to have physical access to it. Moreover, some technical expertise during the installation process is required due to its complex nature. These prerequisites go for both Android and iOS devices.

Let’s compare the Basic Edition for Xnspy with FlexiSpy’s Premium edition (equivalent of Xnspy’s Basic edition).
