Smart Parental Controls vs Circle?

I currently have a Netgear R8000 router with Circle and I really like it.  My kids at home are teens and adults and the only thing I currently use it for is to block porn and such.  I was looking at Netgear Wi-Fi 6 Nighthawks and see some with Circle and some with Netgear Smart Parental Control.  Is there free content filtering that I can apply automtically to all users who join my network?  I love that about Circle.  I don't want to pay for the premium version unless I have to and I don't want to set up a profile for each person.  I just want to block porn to anyone joining my network, automatically.
