# Verify itself is free. You pay for the send.

There's no plan, seat, or platform fee for Bird Verify. A verification bills per code sent, at the rate of whatever channel carried it, email, SMS, or WhatsApp, and checking that code costs nothing.

## No line item for Verify.

The Bird Verify API sends a code and checks it back; the code arrives over a channel you already pay for. Verify adds create, check, per-country routing, and code security on top, at no extra cost.

## How a verification actually bills.

Four rules, straight from the billing docs.

## Verify with no separate bill to track.
