# Truecaller vs CallApp

Truecaller and CallApp both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 54% of CallApp's written reviews are positive against 22% of Truecaller's. Truecaller's advantage is ratings volume (253K vs 896) and chart position (#47 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Truecaller sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and CallApp sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Truecaller against 4.6 for CallApp. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Truecaller has 253K ratings behind it against 896, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 22% of Truecaller's written reviews are positive against 54% of CallApp's.

Truecaller ships an update weekly, CallApp fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
