BUSINESS MODEL

Verifyne charges websites for sending SMS to the users.

Currently a third-party SMS gateway is used. Verifyne applies a

0,5 cent margin for each sent SMS.

Websites cannot send SMS directly because Verifyne does not provide them the real number.

In future our own SMS gateway will be used which will increase the

margin along with lowering prices.
