Vonage Verify
Ericsson-owned Vonage verification API: per-successful-verification fee plus SMS rates, sent from a pre-approved short code.
The per-success fee is the highest in this category at $0.06084 (€0.052), with SMS attempts billed on top at $0.008 plus carrier fees averaging $0.0043. In return, messages go out from a pre-approved short code, so there is no 10DLC registration, which suits teams that want verification without carrier paperwork. An all-in "Verify Success" plan exists but is sales-only. As with Twilio Verify, the fee applies only to successful verifications.
