## Spaw

Verification API that bills per answered lookup across six signals on one key and one balance: Email verification, Phone intelligence, IP intelligence, Address verification, Business verification against open registers, and Cross-signal consistency, which runs any subset of the first four in one call and names where they agree and where they do not. The phone side reads the numbering plan and the regulators' own allocation tables to name the line type, the block holder and the blocks nobody holds, and flags the numbers that are not a person's handset.

## Telnyx Number Lookup

Telnyx Number Lookup is a per-query number API sold beside Telnyx's carrier services, priced separately for local routing number (portability and carrier), MCC/MNC, and CNAM caller name.

## Twilio Lookup

Twilio Lookup is a phone number API sold as separately priced data packages on top of a Twilio account: validating and reformatting a number is free, and line type, caller identity, line status and risk each cost their own per-request fee.
