An Alternative to Google Geocoding API

Whether you're looking for an alternative to google geocoding api or are planning on moving away from it entirely, there are some good options out there. Unlike the Google Maps API, these services don't throttle the volume of requests, so you can get the speed you need without breaking the bank.



OpenCage is a great option for geocoding with open data sources like OpenStreetMap. The company offers a free-trial tier and different pricing plans depending on your usage.


One unique aspect of OpenCage is that it doesn't throttle the volume of your requests. That means you can get the speed you need even if your traffic is high or low.


In addition, they also have a pay-as-you-go pricing model and don't limit your use. That makes them a great choice for large, high-volume applications.

Loqate

Another excellent option for a geocoding api is Loqate. The company has a strong focus on the GPS tracking part of the geocoding process, making it a great solution for fleet telematics.


It also has great "Rooftop Level" accuracy, as well as parcel centroid accuracy on some addresses.



The other advantage of Loqate is that it has an extensive list of data types, and can be used to display locations in a variety of ways. This is helpful for many uses, such as displaying street addresses or putting up billboards, so you don't need to worry about the restrictions that Google Maps have on using their service.
