Qalqon

Qalqon protects you from unwanted calls. Calls from listed spam, telemarketing, debt-collector and scam numbers are blocked by the system itself, before the phone rings. Qalqon does not track your calls. The list of spam numbers is downloaded to your phone and the system compares each number with it on the phone. Qalqon never sees your calls, and nothing is checked online. WHAT IT DOES β’ Central list: a database of spam and scam numbers built from verified reports, updated automatically. β’ Your own rules: add a number that bothers you and Qalqon blocks it. Pick it from your contacts. β’ Number check: whether a number is listed and in which category, on the phone itself, never sent online. β’ Reports: report a spam or scam number; after review it joins the central list and protects everyone else. PREMIUM β’ Pattern rules: block numbers that share a prefix, for example +998 95 1β¦. β’ Public spam databases: numbers from public sources are downloaded to your phone and blocked too. β’ Unlimited rules and number reports. The subscription is bought through the App Store and renews automatically for the chosen period; cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. SECURITY β’ Your calls aren't tracked: Qalqon never listens to or records conversations, and who called you is never sent to a server. β’ The list lives on your phone and the comparison happens there. Numbers are never checked online. β’ Only your number (to sign in) and the reports you send reach our server. Contacts and rules are never sent. β’ Signing in takes only your phone number and an SMS code. β’ No ads, no tracking. β’ Delete your account inside the app (Settings β Delete account). HOW TO TURN IT ON After signing in, open Settings β Phone β Call Blocking & Identification and switch Qalqon on. The app shows whether protection is on and opens that settings screen with one button.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tongs at none against Qalqon's 4. Qalqon's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
