Perform reverse phone number lookups to figure out who is calling you! Enter a phone number, and the app will attempt to lookup the name. Simple as that. Reverse lookup works for both cell phones, and land lines. Accuracy may vary since not all information is publicly available. Individuals can show up as their full name, or the city/State that their number is registered in if their name is not available. Phone Reveal only supports US/CA numbers with a +1 country code. Users help improve accuracy of this app over time by reporting when a number is a spam caller. No account is ever required, Phone Reveal is completely free to use. We NEVER ask for any personal information from you. There is no paid version of this app. If you're being asked for payment information, you are NOT in Phone Reveal! Phone Reveal is 100% free and supported entirely through ads. By using this application you agree to the entirety of our Terms of Service located here: http://skiily.com/tos/reveal.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Phone Reveal at 1.9K against FracTELfone's 7. Phone Reveal also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and device support (3 vs 1). FracTELfone's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Phone Reveal holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phone Reveal has 1.9K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of FracTELfone's written reviews are positive against 78% of Phone Reveal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FracTELfone ships an update every 7 months, Phone Reveal every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
