From the Authevo team
How we think about WhatsApp verification, honest pricing, and building developer-first infrastructure for Egypt and the wider MENA region.
Verify a phone number in two API calls
A short, copy-paste walkthrough of the whole flow: POST /v1/otp/send to deliver a code over WhatsApp, then POST /v1/otp/verify to check it. No SDK, two endpoints, JSON in and out.
Why we charge per successful verification
You pay $0.01 only when a verification actually succeeds — not per attempt, not a monthly seat. Here’s how the free tier, prepaid packs, and the Safety Floor fit together, and why this aligns our incentives with yours.
Why we built Authevo: WhatsApp OTP for Egypt & MENA
SMS OTP is expensive and unreliable across MENA, while WhatsApp is where everyone already is. We built a developer-first verification API around WhatsApp — with automatic Telegram fallback and pay-for-success pricing.
