Pepper is a spam filter for your phone calls. Pepper stops robocalls from ever buzzing your phone in the first place, so you don’t even get call notifications unless they’re confirmed to be from a human. No "Scam Likely" here, just "Person Definitely".

I've been testing-in-real-life Pepper for a month now and am quite impressed. I actually answer my phone now, as I have high-confidence that it's an actual human on the other end. Checking my stats, Pepper has blocked 28 robocalls to my phone numbers -- Google Voice and one from my carrier -- in the last 8 days. That is fantastic. Ethan has been quite helpful as my configuration setup was a bit of an edge case. But it worked (and continues to work) like a champ. Highly recommended and worth the already-cheap monthly fee to actually love my phone-as-a-phone again!

Good execution but wrong thing to try and monetize. Users pay networks and phone companies money and expect them to solve this problem. I think you'll have a difficult time selling $6/month (that's Disney+). Add to this .. Google is already competing with you on Pixel Phones (soon all android phones) with FREE call screening. Hope your founders don't quit, because your idea is well executed.

@adridder You're totally right-- users expect networks and phone companies to solve this problem. Unfortunately, since they're not, this problem is left to products like Pepper to solve! In terms of the competition, we'll continue to improve Pepper and do what it takes to compete with other upcoming and incumbent products. It'll take time, but we're confident that we can do it. Thanks for the feedback!

Love this! Thank you @ethannaluz and team! You are solving a significant pain point in everyone's daily life right now. I think I get an average of 5 random calls a day. However, most of these are from humans trying to sell something. Going beyond just robocalls, I would like any call that I don't have the number in my address book to be immediately moved to Spam. That would be fantastic!

@adam_metcalf1 Thanks for this super helpful feedback Adam! Although for now, Pepper only filter out automated spam calls, we're working to improve Pepper to catch the cases you described as well. We'll keep you posted!

5.99 is a steep price to pay. I use YouMail not perfect but very acceptable and they have a free version.

I've been using the free YouMail and it does everything you advertise and transcribes the voice messages too.

@igor_beschieru Hi Igor! Please correct me if I'm wrong, but YouMail specifically replaces your voicemail. We also handle calls from unknown numbers without immediately sending them to voicemail, and you can take calls normally with us.

I’ve used RoboKiller and YouMail. Both are fantastic. The only issue I see is your cost is simply too high! It would be great to have an option to purchase an annual subscription but i wouldn’t pay more than about $25 like RoboKiller. Hit me up if there is any discount offer please!
