Phone validator result card with four checks passing for a US landline number, beside one valid number and one invalid number that is a digit short

These are the four things to compare before you choose.

  • Price: Starter is $99 a month for 20,000 checks, and unused credits roll over for 3 months.
  • What one call returns: line type, carrier, active status and a risk level, so you know whether a number can be called or texted.
  • Other checks: the same credits verify emails at 1 credit and IP addresses at 1 credit each.
  • Trying it: a single number is free in the phone validator, and the 7-day free trial opens the API and CSV upload.
