RoboKiller
RoboKiller is an Android and iOS app that blocks spam calls and filters spam texts. Its call-blocking algorithm analyzes call metadata in less than a millisecond and blocks calls it identifies as spam before they reach the phone. Audio fingerprinting compares robocall recordings against a database of more than 1.5 billion processed phone numbers and millions of audio fingerprints. RoboKiller says its technology is 99% effective at stopping spam calls. Text filtering uses block and allow lists, number reputation, and content analysis; the company says messages are never stored or shared. The free version includes a daily-updated blacklist, blocked-call notifications, weekly insights, spam reporting, and Spam Patrol. Answer Bots, Call Screening, and Personal Data Protection require a paid plan. Answer Bots play prerecorded messages to spam callers, while Call Screening asks unknown callers for their name and reason for calling. Both features require a carrier and plan that support Conditional Call Forwarding. Listed paid options include $4.99 a month, $31.99 a year, and $39.99 a year; a 7-day trial is also listed.
