iBlueText vs Vonage Verify
Vonage Verify (formerly Nexmo) is a solid, global SMS verification API. The real differences come down to price, iMessage, and what's included out of the box.
Price
Vonage Verify lands in the multi-cent range per verification once SMS is included. iBlueText is a flat ½¢, with the device lookup baked in.
iMessage delivery
iBlueText sends iMessage to iPhones — faster, autofill-ready, and outside carrier SMS filtering — with SMS for everyone else. Vonage is SMS/voice.
Consent, included
Every iBlueText verification produces a timestamped, exportable proof-of-consent record, which matters for TCPA. That's a build-it-yourself task elsewhere.
