How much does Plume cost on the low end?

We use Plume for stuff like this.  It is a managed service they buy from us on 
top of the internet and the customer gets a customized APP and we have a 
backend NOC and cloud support much like you would get with Calix.  I'd probably 
do it with Calix if it were 100% up to me but there are pros and cons to each.

Generally I'm against Mikrotik as a managed router, specifically because you 
can't turn anything over to the customer.  Even fairly knowledgeable consumers 
won't know what to do with a Mikrotik, and they could do some dangerous stuff.

With Cambium CnPilot (and probably most products made for this purpose) the 
customer can have a separate login with less rights and get a simple "Linksys" 
style webpage to do stuff like that.  The time based rules are usually built in 
feature.  I'm pretty damn sure they exist in the CnPilot, but I'm not in a 
position to check right now.

When the subject said "parental controls" I thought it was going to be blocking 
porno.  I'm 100% hands off on that for a lot of reasons.   I looked into it 
providing it as a service, but I just don't think there would be enough demand 
to make it viable.  Even if it was viable I'm not sure I'd want to take 
responsibility for it.

Those of you who supply managed routers (especially if you do this for 
everybody), do you set up parental controls?

I had a request today from someone who wanted to turn off Internet at night to 
keep his 3 kids from using their devices.  I thought this was kind of silly 
since they are 21, 23 and 24 years old.  (Maybe like senators who have to put 
their devices in a cubby in the cloakroom.  OK, I just thought that, didn’t say 
it out loud.)

This guy has a leased Mikrotik from us, and Mikrotik does have a Kids control 
feature that could probably do this.  But I don’t want to get into this, 
especially because I fear constant requests to override or tweak the settings.  
I also don’t want to give customers management control over a router that we 
are supposed to be managing.

And in this case he wanted to do it across the board, but many people might 
want it set up by MAC address for each person in the family, so maybe the older 
kids would have later bedtimes and the parents wouldn’t have any restrictions.  
Or they might want the bandwidth restricted so the kids could do schoolwork but 
not stream video.

What do you guys do?  I’m going to guess Calix maybe has a cloud portal where 
the customer can do things like this on their own, while some settings are 
restricted to the carrier?  What about other cloud managed routers like the 
Cambium stuff?
