Frequently asked questions
What is RoboKiller?
Although RoboKiller does offer some unique features, it is primarily a robocall blocker app. While RoboKiller uses a spam call blocking algorithm before a spammer rings your phone, it does not offer the personal and business features that YouMail offers on top of spam call blocking, such as virtual lines, visual voicemail, auto attendant, and more.
In addition, RoboKiller focuses on getting revenge on robocalls with answer bots, which only encourages robocallers and spammers to call you more.
YouMail stops robocallers cold and works with authorities to get you taken off spam lists, instead of playing games and having them keep bothering you.
How much does RoboKiller cost?
While RoboKiller does offer a free 7-day trial with all plans, it offers two main paid plans for personal use:
- Annual Protection: $39.99/year
- Monthly Protection: $4.99/month
For business use, RoboKiller offers its Enterprise plans for robocall and spam text protection:
- Quick Start: Starting at $0.01/query
- Growth: Starting at $1299/month
- Enterprise: Built for high-volume call operations
YouMail keeps the user in mind by offering a free version of our app, which offers basic call blocking and other great features, in addition to premium plans for both personal (Plus) and business (Essentials, Complete, and Ultimate) use.
How does RoboKiller make money?
RoboKiller makes money off of their lofty paid plans, since the free trials end and everyone ends up paying.
How do I cancel and uninstall RoboKiller?
You can cancel and uninstall RoboKiller by deactivating the service in settings and deleting the app from your phone. Tap on your name at the top of settings to access iCloud / Apple ID settings.
