A Firebase Phone Auth alternative for verification
Firebase Phone Auth ties you to its SDK and per-verification pricing. When a provider-agnostic OTP API fits better.
Firebase Phone Auth is convenient if you're all-in on Firebase, but it couples verification to its SDK, reCAPTCHA flow and per-verification pricing — and it's awkward to test.
When an OTP API fits better
- You want backend-controlled verification, not a client SDK + reCAPTCHA.
- You need global coverage and per-delivered-code pricing with refunds.
- You want to test the flow in CI with disposable numbers.
curl -X POST https://api.eveses.com/api/v1/numbers/orders \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
-d '{"country":"us","mode":"activation","service":"yourapp"}'
You issue the number, send your own SMS or receive the target's code, and verify server-side — no vendor lock-in on the client. Keep Firebase for the rest of your stack if you like; verification doesn't have to live there.
