Overview
Twilio Verify (with Authy heritage) provides developer APIs for one-time passcodes and user verification across SMS, voice, email, and push channels.
Capability deep-dive
Developer experience, multichannel reach, and global delivery are the strengths, making it easy to add verification to any app. It is a verification API, not an identity platform, so SSO, federation, and governance are out of scope.
Pricing
Usage-based, transparent per-verification pricing.
Bottom line
A go-to API for developers who need reliable OTP and verification, not a full identity platform.
