Subscription (individual iPhone)
How to subscribe on iPhone, what's included, alert limits, and what happens without a subscription.
This article focuses on the consumer SmishAlert app on iPhone (Apple billing). Android is enterprise-only and uses org licensing; see FAQ: Pricing and billing.
Individual plans are sold through the App Store. SmishAlert Personal is $49.99 a year. Unknown Guard is $79.99 a year.
What's included with a subscription
- Full message filtering (SMS, unknown senders).
- Call and message reporting.
- Share extension and Messages extension reporting.
- QR code scanning and threat analysis.
- Protection activity summary in the app.
Alert limits (reporting)
Personal and Unknown Guard (billed through Apple or Google Play): With an active subscription you get 30 alerts per month. Without a subscription you can use 1 free alert once—after that, subscribe in the app for full reporting. You may also see a one-time option to buy an extra alert (about $0.99) on iPhone when you need one more report before upgrading. Enterprise Android builds use organization licensing through your employer or SmishAlert account team, not consumer Play billing.
Pricing
Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID. SmishAlert Personal is $49.99 a year. Unknown Guard is $79.99 a year. You can change or cancel in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
Without a subscription
If you don't subscribe to a paid plan, paid filtering features stop until you subscribe. Open the app to see your options. You can re-enable full access anytime by subscribing in the app.
