## 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.

## numverify

numverify is a phone number validation API sold as a monthly request quota, returning validity, country and location, carrier and line type.
