Mr. Number

What Mr. Number does

Mr. Number, operating as Hiya Inc., is a voice intelligence company built around the Hiya Voice Protect Platform, which performs real-time caller identification, spam detection, AI voice/deepfake analysis, and fraud-tactic classification on live phone calls. The platform underpins a dual product portfolio: a consumer suite (Hiya Spam Blocker and Hiya AI Phone) distributed through the iOS App Store and Google Play with 10M+ Android downloads, 493K iOS reviews, and a 4.5-star rating; and an enterprise suite (Branded Call, Number Registration, Spam Analytics, AI Voice Detection) sold to enterprises, call centers, SMBs, carriers, and OEM/technology partners. The reported entity scale of 1–10 employees conflicts with an 11-country localized web presence, a developer portal, and a formal partner program, suggesting the firmographics figure is stale and actual headcount is materially higher.

The company's revenue mechanics are two-pillar: a consumer freemium model (Basic free, Premium as an annual subscription unlocking AI voice detection, fraud call detection, advanced blocking, and visual voicemail) and a B2B motion spanning direct enterprise sales, a channel partner program at partners.hiya.com, and carrier/OEM embedding deals that deliver network-level protection. The company reports 500+ million people protected globally by the Voice Protect Platform, holds ISO 27001 certification, and is featured in The Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, The Verge, GeekWire, and The Seattle Times. BCLC (British Columbia Lottery Corporation) is the only publicly named enterprise customer, citing increased contact rates and campaign efficiency from Branded Call. The firm is privately held, with $4.8M in disclosed venture funding (Menlo Ventures and Freestyle Capital, 2011) and no subsequent disclosed rounds in the source data.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Pindrop Security: Pindrop provides voice authentication and deepfake/fraud detection for enterprise call centers — overlapping Hiya's AI Voice Detection / Contact Center speech AI capabilities. It competes for the same fraud-detection enterprise budget with a more specialized call-center focus.

Direct peers

• TrapCall: TrapCall is a consumer-focused caller ID and call unmasking service targeting users receiving unwanted or spoofed calls. It overlaps with Hiya's consumer spam protection value proposition for the same mobile-user segment.
• RoboKiller: RoboKiller offers a consumer spam call blocking subscription service with similar caller ID and call-screening features to Hiya Spam Blocker. It competes head-to-head in app stores for the same spam-frustrated mobile consumer segment.
• Truecaller: Truecaller is the most direct competitor in caller ID and spam blocking, with a global app offering freemium and premium tiers similar to Hiya Spam Blocker. Both companies serve consumers with unknown-caller identification and target enterprises with branded caller ID offerings.
• Nomorobo: Nomorobo is a spam call blocking service available on mobile and landline, directly competing with Hiya's consumer spam protection value proposition. It represents an established alternative in the same product category.
• First Orion: First Orion provides call protection, branded caller ID, and scam-block solutions to carriers and enterprises — the same enterprise/carrier segment Hiya targets with Connect and Protect. It is a direct competitor in carrier-grade voice protection.
• YouMail: YouMail offers visual voicemail and call blocking with a freemium/premium model directly comparable to Hiya's app. It competes on overlapping consumer calling-features within the same app-store distribution channels.

Broad incumbents

• TransUnion (TruContact / Neustar): TransUnion's Neustar/trust services unit offers branded caller ID and caller reputation solutions for enterprises and carriers, overlapping Hiya Connect's Branded Call and Number Registration offerings. As a large data/identity incumbent, it competes on enterprise contracts Hiya targets.
• AT&T (ActiveArmor / Call Protect): AT&T bundles call blocking and fraud detection (ActiveArmor) directly to its subscribers, competing with Hiya's consumer app at the carrier level. As a broad telecom incumbent it competes both for end users and as a potential partner/co-seller.
• T-Mobile (Scam Shield / ScamBlocker): T-Mobile offers Scam Shield / ScamBlocker as built-in network-level call protection to its subscribers, directly overlapping Hiya's carrier spam analytics offering and competing for end-user protection dollars.
