Know what a phone is before you buy it.
Type an IMEI or a serial. Atlas asks the upstream device-check provider and tells you the model, the capacity, whether Find My is on and whether the handset is blacklisted. You buy credit up front, each check costs 20¢, and asking about the same device twice inside 30 days is free.
How it works
- Buy credit. Pay Retech and your balance goes up the same day. There is no card on file and nothing to remember to pay.
- Check a device. From the Atlas desktop app on the bench, or from your own software through the API.
- Pay 20¢ for the answer. One flat price, drawn from your balance the moment the provider answers.
- Ask again for nothing. The same device inside 30 days comes back from cache. No provider call, no charge, and a faster answer.
Prepaid, so nothing runs away
You put money in first and every check draws it down. Your balance is your ceiling. Nothing arrives later asking for an amount you did not expect, because you already paid it.
One price, and the discount is up front
Every check is 20¢. Buying a bigger block does not change that price — it hands you extra credit at the till, so the discount is already in your balance instead of arriving later as a rebate.
You only pay for real lookups
A cache hit is not metered and not charged. A failed lookup that you retry is charged once, not twice. What comes off your balance is the number of times we actually had to ask the provider.
What credit costs
| You pay | Credit you get | Checks | Works out at |
|---|---|---|---|
| $200.00 | $200.00 | 1,000 | 20¢ a check |
| $800.00 | $1,000.00 | 5,000 | 16¢ a check |
| $1,500.00 | $2,000.00 | 10,000 | 15¢ a check |
The bigger blocks are worth more than you pay for them. The extra lands in your balance at the moment you buy it and is spent at the same 20¢ as everything else, so there is no rate to keep track of and nothing is recalculated after the fact.
When the balance reaches zero you top up again. Nothing is charged for a check that does not happen, and there is no account fee sitting on top.
Inside the app
Atlas runs on the bench as a desktop app, and the same checks are available over the API if you would rather drive it from your own system.
These are drawings of the app, in the app's own colours — not photographs of a running machine.
