What Every Plan Includes

  • Call screening — Gini answers calls you do not pick up, finds out who is calling and why, and stops spam and scam callers before they reach you
  • Approved callers ring through — real callers get passed straight to your phone
  • Caller name and reason — you see who called and what they wanted before you call back
  • Voicemail with searchable transcripts — read your voicemail instead of listening to it
  • Allow list — trusted contacts skip screening entirely
  • Block list — unwanted callers are blocked for good
  • Text and email scam scanning — Gini checks your texts and your Gmail or Outlook inbox and warns you about scams
  • Activity history — every screened call and flagged message, in one place

What Premium Plus Adds

Live Scam Detection is the difference between Premium and Premium Plus.

Screening stops automated spam and obvious scams before your phone rings. But some scammers are real people who sound convincing and talk their way past the screen. Premium Plus keeps listening after you answer. If the call turns dangerous — someone asks for a verification code, an account number, or pressures you to act right now — Gini warns you while you are still on the call.

The caller cannot tell this is happening.

Premium does not include Live Scam Detection. Everything else is the same.

What Premium Plus + Home Phone Adds

This is Premium Plus with your landline covered too. Your home phone gets the same screening your cell phone gets.

Choose this if scam calls come to the house phone as well — which, for most households, is where the worst of them land.

The free week is available on the monthly plan. The yearly plan starts right away.

Family and Family Plus

Both cover up to 5 people, each with their own account, their own phone number, and their own settings, allow list, and block list. One person pays.

  • Family ($12.99/mo) matches Premium — no Live Scam Detection
  • Family Plus ($16.99/mo) matches Premium Plus — Live Scam Detection for everyone on the plan

Family plans do not include a free week.

See "Family Plan: Protecting Your Loved Ones" and "How to Invite Family Members" for setup.

Monthly or Yearly?

Yearly costs less per month on every plan — roughly 50% off compared with paying monthly.

Plan Yearly price Works out to
Premium $44.99/yr about $3.75/mo
Premium Plus $79.99/yr about $6.67/mo
Premium Plus + Home Phone $77.99/yr about $6.50/mo
Family $79.99/yr about $6.67/mo
Family Plus $99.99/yr about $8.33/mo

The 1 Month Pass

If you would rather not start a subscription, there is a 1 Month Pass: $12.99, paid once, for 30 days of Premium Plus.

Nothing renews. Nothing is charged again. There is no free week — your 30 days begin right away.

How Billing Works

Payment methods

Whatever your app store already has on file — a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or store credit. If you subscribe through our website, we accept credit and debit cards.

Billing cycle

  • Monthly plans are charged on the same date each month
  • Yearly plans are charged once a year on your subscription date

Automatic renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically so your protection never lapses. You can turn off renewal at any time — see "How to Cancel Your Subscription." Turning it off does not end your protection early; you keep what you paid for until the period ends.

Changing Your Plan

  • Upgrading (Premium to Premium Plus, or adding Home Phone) takes effect immediately, with the price difference prorated by the store
  • Downgrading takes effect at your next billing date
  • Switching monthly to yearly takes effect at your next billing date

See "How to Upgrade or Change Your Plan."

Cancellation

You can cancel at any time.

  • Protection continues until the end of the period you already paid for
  • No partial refunds for unused time
  • You can resubscribe whenever you want, and your settings will still be there

See "How to Cancel Your Subscription."
