Telnyx Verify
Verification API on Telnyx's own network: $0.03 per successful verification plus Telnyx SMS and carrier fees.
On price, this sits between the fee-free APIs such as Plivo and Bird and Twilio Verify, which suits teams wanting a managed flow for less: $0.03 per successful verification, plus $0.004 per US SMS part and carrier passthrough averaging $0.0042. The pricing page also headlines "from $0.05 per verify" with delivery included, which conflicts with the line items; the line items are used here. Sending from your own numbers brings 10DLC registration into play.
