Numverify vs Veriphone

Numverify (an APILayer product) validates phone numbers against international numbering-plan rules and returns carrier, line type, and location data for 232 countries. Its documented base endpoint, apilayer.net/api/validate, answered a live GET with a 200 JSON body carrying access-control-allow-origin: * — resolving the stored "unknown" cors to "yes" — and rejected the request with an invalid_access_key error, confirming auth "API Key"; the same endpoint also answers on https://, confirming the stored https true even though the docs quote the base URL as plain http://. Its pricing page offers a free-forever plan (100 requests/month) alongside paid Basic/Professional/Enterprise tiers — freemium.

Veriphone validates phone numbers and returns carrier, line type (mobile/fixed/VoIP), and formatted output for 243 countries, either via a single lookup or bulk CSV upload. Its own docs state "CORS is enabled on all endpoints," and a live OPTIONS preflight plus an unauthenticated GET against api.veriphone.io/v3/verify both returned Access-Control-Allow-Origin echoing the request Origin, reconfirming cors "yes"; the GET also returned a 400 JSON error demanding the key parameter, reconfirming auth "API Key" over HTTPS. Its pricing page offers 1,000 free validations/month with no credit card required, alongside one-time credit packs and monthly subscription tiers — freemium.
