How Much Does LRN Lookup Cost? Pricing Comparison for 2026

VeriRoute Intel Enhanced LRN costs $0.0005 per query — the lowest per-query price in the market. Telnyx and Telexent each charge $0.0015, making VeriRoute Intel 3x cheaper for equivalent data. There is no minimum commitment, no subscription required, and the LRN activated_at timestamp is included free — a field most providers do not offer at any price.

LRN Lookup Pricing Comparison Table

Provider LRN Price activated_at Included Minimum Commit
VeriRoute Intel $0.0005 Yes, free None
Telnyx $0.0015 No None
Telexent $0.0015 No Volume tiers
TransNexus Subscription Partial Contract
Bandwidth Contract No Contract

Bandwidth and TransNexus do not publish per-query pricing — both require volume commitments or subscription contracts. VeriRoute Intel and Telnyx are pay-per-query with no minimums; Telexent applies volume tiers above a usage threshold.

What Is Included in Enhanced LRN at $0.0005?

A single VeriRoute Intel Enhanced LRN query returns:

  • LRN (Local Routing Number) — the number the call actually routes to
  • Voice carrier name — the current serving carrier
  • Carrier type — wireless, landline, VoIP, or CLEC
  • City, state, zip, rate center, LATA
  • OCN (Operating Company Number)
  • Timezone
  • LRN activated_at — the timestamp of the most recent port event

All fields are returned in a single call. There are no add-on charges.

Why LRN activated_at Changes the Pricing Equation

The activated_at timestamp tells you when a phone number was last ported to a new carrier. Numbers ported within the past 24–72 hours carry elevated fraud risk — they are commonly used in SIM-swap fraud, account takeovers, and SMS pumping schemes.

Most LRN providers do not include activated_at at any price tier. Telnyx does not offer it. Telexent does not offer it. TransNexus includes partial port-date data under subscription contracts only.

VeriRoute Intel includes activated_at free in every Enhanced LRN response. For teams running fraud scoring, compliance checks, or ported-number filters, this eliminates a separate data purchase that would otherwise close the per-query cost gap between providers.

At 1 million lookups per month, VeriRoute Intel costs $500. At the same volume, Telnyx costs $1,500. Adding equivalent port-recency intelligence through a separate data layer would push competitor costs higher still.
