FAQs

Does Hiya use audio fingerprinting?

Audio fingerprinting is what allows Robokiller to track scammers from phone to phone. By tagging their voices instead of just their caller ID, we can catch and intercept them no matter what number they call from. This is possible thanks to our advanced tech capabilities like artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Hiya, on the other hand, doesn't have the same capabilities; like many of our competitors, they can only block numbers that have already been identified as spam. That means less coverage and more fraudulent calls from the same spammers.

What are Hiya's block and allow features like?

Not only is Hiya's spam detection based solely off of their existing blocklist and not real-time screening, their app also fails to offer users the ability to create allow lists of safe callers. This is a major flaw, as it sometimes prevents important calls from getting to their users; in some cases, the app may even block callers that are in the user's contacts list. Robokiller, on the other hand, has fully customizable block and allow lists, so you never have to worry about missing the calls that you want to receive.

Does Hiya offer SMS protection?

In an age when most people spend much more time texting than calling, SMS spam blocker protection is absolutely critical. Because of this trend, spam texts and SMS scams can be just as dangerous — if not even moreso — than annoying spam calls. While the Robokiller app pledges 99% effective protection from text scams that aim to steal your personal information, Hiya offers no protection at all.

Which app is a better spam blocker: Hiya or Robokiller?

There are many spam blocker apps, but only one gets the job done right. Robokiller's advanced features like audio fingerprinting and customizable block and allow lists, its global database of caller names, and its ability to put a stop to both spam calls and texts make it the undefeated champion of spam blocking apps. You can even try Robokiller risk-free for yourself with a 7-day free trial.

Here are some of Robokiller's unique features (that you can't get with Hiya).

Robokiller vs. Hiya: Voice performance gap

There's a distinct gap in proportion between the calls you want and the calls you don't, and Robokiller and Hiya both seek to close it. However, only one of these spam blocking apps does a complete job of blocking out the swarms of unwanted calls while letting important calls through.

Robokiller's audio fingerprinting and real-time screening provide a far more effective defense than Hiya's standard blocking via caller ID, and our customizable block and allow lists ensure that important calls don't get caught up in the filter. To top it off, Robokiller offers the high level of SMS protection that today's mobile users need, whereas Hiya doesn't offer this important security feature at all.
