# Answer Cloud Visual Voicemail vs Call Protect Spam Call Blocker

Answer Cloud Visual Voicemail's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown).

Both are free to download. Answer Cloud Visual Voicemail sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Call Protect Spam Call Blocker sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Answer Cloud Visual Voicemail's written reviews are positive against 40% of Call Protect Spam Call Blocker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
