What do their own pages say?

One row per product. Where we did not check something, the cell says so instead of guessing.

What do the others have that this app does not?

Quite a lot, and it matters if you need it.

Text messages: Truecaller, Robokiller and Nomorobo describe spam text protection. This app only handles calls.
iPhone: Truecaller and Hiya list iPhone apps. Realcaller is Android only for now.
Availability: These apps are published today. Realcaller is not on Google Play yet and has no public beta.
Large user bases: Truecaller says 500 million people trust it, and Hiya cites 10 million downloads. These are their own claims, which we have not checked. This app has no users to count yet.
Already on your phone: Google’s and Samsung’s tools come with the phone, with nothing to install.

Does Google’s Call Screen work in Mexico?

Google’s own list does not include Mexico. This is about Call Screen only, not about caller ID or spam labels in the Phone app.

Automatic screening on Pixel phones: Australia, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Manual screening as well: France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan and Spain.
