The problem

SMS OTP costs add up — on every signup, real or fake

You pay per message for every code you send, including the bots and typos that never convert. At scale, phone verification quietly becomes a real line item.

Per-message SMS fees

Every SMS OTP you send is billed — and you pay it on failed attempts and fraudulent signups too, not just successful ones.

SMS OTP ≈ ₹0.10–₹0.45 per send

WhatsApp inbound, a fraction of the cost

The user taps a WhatsApp link and messages you — that inbound message carries no per-SMS gateway fee. You pay only when a verification actually succeeds.

LinesVerify ≈ a fraction of SMS cost
How it works

Ownership confirmed in seconds, over WhatsApp

The user proves they hold the number by tapping a WhatsApp link and sending a prepared message. We match it and send a signed result to your backend.

1

Start a verification

Your backend calls our API with the user's phone number. You get back a hosted verify link, branded as you.

2

User taps WhatsApp

On the hosted screen they tap “Continue with WhatsApp” and send the prepared message from their number — no code to type.

3

You get a signed result

We match the sender to the session and send a signed confirmation to your backend. Trust it server-side and let them through.

The math

Same security as SMS OTP, a fraction of the cost

No per-message gateway bill, and you’re only charged for verifications that succeed.

SMS OTP

  • Drop-in hosted screen, your branding
Integration

Two calls and you’re live

Start a verification, point the user at the hosted screen, confirm the result on your server.

1

Start

One POST with the phone number returns a hosted, branded verify link.

2

Show

Open it as a popup with our SDK, or redirect. The user taps WhatsApp and confirms.

3

Confirm

Confirm server-side (or verify our signed callback) and trust the result. The browser alone is never proof.
