Robokiller vs. Robo Shield | Robo Shield App Comparison

FAQs
‍

How much does Robo Shield cost?

Robo Shield costs $2.99 per month and offers a 7-day trial of their limited free version — not the full app — when you sign up. You still have to enter your payment details before you can start the free trial, and you’ll be automatically enrolled in recurring payments. If you only want the trial, you’ll need to cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid being charged for a full month.

With Robokiller, there are no surprises. You’ll get a free 7-day trial of the full app — not a watered-down version that hides features behind a paywall — so you can get an accurate idea of what we have to offer. Then you can continue taking advantage of the best robocall blocker around for $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year.

How does Robo Shield work?

Robo Shield blocks spam calls based on a global database of numbers that are known to be associated with spammers. Users can also block individual numbers in advance by manually adding them to their blocklist. Robo Shield directs blocked calls to voicemail, but they don’t send notifications, so you’ll have to check your voicemail to see if it’s working.
‍

Does Robo Shield stop spam texts?

No, Robo Shield does not protect its users from spam texts. This is unfortunate because scammers can use spam texts to steal personal details like your bank account or credit card information, ultimately co-opting your finances. All it takes is one smishing link to lose your financial stability or even your identity.

Fortunately, Robokiller has your back when it comes to robocalls and spam texts alike. Our comprehensive spam text protection shuts spammers down from all angles, keeping the fraudsters out of your inbox.
‍

Is Robo Shield an effective spam call blocker?

Users should be aware that Robo Shield is unable to block calls listed as restricted, private, unknown, or anonymous. The app is also unable to block shortcodes (five- or six-digit numbers). The free version of Robo Shield will identify spam calls but still let them through, which means it will warn you about spam but it won’t do anything to protect you from it.
‍

Does Robo Shield work on my phone?

All spam blockers have some kind of tech requirements, but Robo Shield’s are especially stringent. The app is currently only available for iPhones that run iOS 11.4 or higher and is only available in the U.S. and Canada.

The good news is that everyone has access to the spam blocker they really need: Robokiller. Our top-of-the-line robocall and spam text squasher is available worldwide on both iPhone and Android devices.

The tools you need to live spam-free

Here are some of Robokiller’s unique features (that you can’t get with Robo Shield).

Customizable call blocking

Robo Shield allows you to customize your call blocking. However, unlike Robokiller, it indiscriminately cuts off calls and doesn’t provide options to screen calls before blocking them.

Audio fingerprinting

Like many spam blockers, Robo Shield simply blocks calls from phone numbers on a blocklist. The problem is, scammers can just change numbers to get around that. Robokiller, on the other hand, uses machine learning to detect scammers based on their unique audio fingerprints. Scammers may change their numbers, but they can’t change their voices.

Spam text blocking

Robo Shield does not offer SMS protection. Robokiller, on the other hand, offers 99% effective robotext blocking.

Protection against spoofed calls

Some robocallers imitate local phone numbers so you’re more likely to answer them. Unlike Robo Shield, Robokiller knows how to identify and stop these sneaky spam calls before they reach you.

Answer Bots

Robokiller doesn’t just block robocalls, we make it fun. Answer Bots intercept incoming spam calls and mimic a real person to waste telemarketers’ time. You can even listen to the recordings. It’s a little poetic justice (and bonus entertainment) that Robo Shield just can’t offer.
