Numlookup vs VeriRoute Intel

Numlookupapi.com (an Everapi GmbH product) validates phone numbers and returns formatting, country, location, carrier, and line type via a REST endpoint that takes the number as a path parameter. A live OPTIONS preflight against its real API host, api.numlookupapi.com/v1/validate/, returned access-control-allow-origin echoing the request Origin plus access-control-allow-credentials: true, resolving the stored "unknown" cors to "yes"; a follow-up unauthenticated GET returned a 401 with www-authenticate: Key and a missing_api_key JSON error, confirming auth "API Key" over HTTPS. Its pricing page offers a Free plan (100 requests/month) alongside paid Basic/Pro/Scale tiers — freemium.

VeriRoute Intel is a live phone-intelligence platform offering CNAM caller-ID lookup, LRN/carrier routing lookup, message-provider identification, and spam/fraud scoring for North American numbers, served from verirouteintel.com/api/v1/<service>. A live OPTIONS preflight against its real API host carried no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header at all, resolving the stored "unknown" cors to "no"; a follow-up unauthenticated GET returned a 401 "API key required" JSON error over HTTPS, confirming auth "API Key" and https true. Its pricing page is strictly pay-as-you-go per query (from $0.0005/lookup) with a free sandbox and no subscription requirement — metered.
