Twilio Lookup Charges Per Add-On. Veriastra Gives You More.
Twilio bills separate packages for carrier, line type, and reputation. Veriastra returns all of it in one 1-credit lookup.
One lookup, every signal
Carrier, line type, US geo, FTC spam signal and fraud score in a single call. No stacked add-ons.
A fraction of the per-call price
Twilio bills $0.008 per Line Type Intelligence lookup (their pricing page, 2 Aug 2026).
A Veriastra credit runs $0.0015 to $0.0032 depending on tier, and that one credit carries the carrier, the rate centre, complaint history and your own suppression list rather than the line type alone. The free plan is 200 credits a month, no card.
Repeat lookups cost nothing
Results are cached, so the second question about the same number is answered from our own store.
Where Twilio Lookup is the better buy
Every product has a job it is built for. These are the jobs where Twilio Lookup is the answer and we are not, said plainly so you can tell in two minutes whether the rest of this page applies to you.
If your fraud rules ask about the SIM itself
SIM swap, call forwarding status, reassigned-number checks and device fingerprinting come from carrier relationships we do not have and are not going to claim.
If your model needs "was this SIM swapped in the last 72 hours", buy that from them — and note it is a sales conversation, not a price on a page. Everything upstream of that question we answer for one credit.
If you only need to parse and format
Twilio charges nothing for parse-and-format, and free is a price we cannot beat. The moment the question becomes "what kind of line is this", their meter starts at $0.008 a request.
That is for the line type alone, and it is two and a half times our entire phone report.
Ours returns the line type with its basis, the carrier, the rate centre, complaint history and your own suppression list.
The platform around it
Lookup sits next to their messaging and voice stack with one account and one bill. We are a data API; if you are already sending SMS through Twilio, one fewer vendor is a real advantage.
