Moving from Call Recorder Automatic to CallVault
A call recorder from Tap AI with caller ID and an ignore list. Facts about it come from its own page, last checked 7 November 2026. Prices and the wider comparison are on the CallVault site.
Should you move?
Stay on Call Recorder Automatic if one of these is you:
- You want to install from Google Play and have caller ID in the same app.
Move if these matter more:
- No ads, on any plan.
- A web library for your backed-up recordings.
- Import from another recorder’s folder.
How do you move?
- Install CallVault and record one real call. Play it back before you change anything else. What CallVault hears depends on your phone.
- Keep Call Recorder Automatic's recordings where they are until that test call sounds right.
- To bring old recordings across, point CallVault at the folder they're in. CallVault reads those files and never changes them. It's built around phone makers' recorders and BCR-compatible ones, and we haven't tested Call Recorder Automatic's files, so try one first.
