iBlueText vs Twilio Verify
Twilio Verify is the default many teams reach for, and it works. But it's priced for enterprises, it's SMS-only, and consent logging is left to you. Here's where iBlueText differs.
Price
Twilio Verify runs around 5¢ per verification; iBlueText is a flat ½¢ — roughly a tenth. At 10,000/month that's about $50 vs $500.
iMessage delivery
iBlueText sends a real blue-bubble iMessage to iPhones — instant, autofill-ready, and not subject to carrier SMS filtering. Twilio Verify is SMS-only.
Proof of consent
iBlueText logs a timestamped, exportable consent record for every verification (number, time, IP, page, consent text). With Twilio you build and store that yourself.
Setup
Drop-in widget or two API calls, with a free trial. No card to start.
