  Abstract API's Phone Validation API is offered on a freemium model: a
  free-forever tier plus paid monthly plans that scale by monthly request
  volume, with a discount for annual billing. The free tier requires no credit
  card. All tiers share the same single validation endpoint and a 3
  requests/second throughput limit; higher tiers raise the included monthly
  request allowance and (on Abstract's higher-featured plans) unlock additional
  data such as messaging, registration, and risk signals. The exact per-plan
  request volumes and dollar amounts below are drawn from Abstract API's public
  pricing page and are NOT reconciled against a live billing account; verify
  current tiers and prices on the pricing page.
notes: >-
  Abstract prices each API product separately - a Phone Validation plan does not
  cover Abstract's other APIs (email validation, IP geolocation, etc.). Pricing
  observed 2026-07-12: free = 100 requests/month; paid plans commonly start at
  $19/month (approx $17/month billed annually) with selectable monthly request
  volumes; Enterprise is custom. Treat specific numbers as modeled until
  reconciled.
