You're right about how iOS restrictions work. My statement about an in-between is that there is no way for me to say "allow this app from time X to Y, for at most Z minutes" - it's all or nothing. You can have this app, or not have this app. Additionally, there is no way for me to remotely manage it. If a child refuses to turn the phone off, I cannot hit a management tool and lock it down (at least, not without using an MDM profile, as Qustodio and other solutions can be trivially defeated by deleting their management profile which requires no permissions). If I want to monitor where they go and how much time they spend on each app, there is no way to do it. So, I can do super-basic things, but nothing fine-grained or interesting from my parenting perspective. So, it all gets turned off and is basically a Find-my-Friends, phone/FaceTime and iMessage tool for $700. Not exactly a good value and not something I will be sending any more money to Apple for.
