Radar vs. Melissa Data feature comparison

Radar is the developer-friendly, all-in-one alternative to Melissa Data. Like Melissa Data, Radar provides address verification, address autocomplete, and geocoding capabilities. However, Radar is up to 90% less expensive, and technical teams prefer our open-source SDKs and developer-friendly documentation.

Whereas Melissa Data includes other verification APIs like name verification or phone number verification, Radar’s address verification, address autocomplete, and geocoding capabilities are part of our Maps Platform, which also includes routing APIs, base maps, and UI kits. And our Maps Platform is complemented by our industry-leading Geofencing Platform, which also supports location tracking, geofencing, place visit detection, trip tracking, and advanced location analytics.

Thousands of companies, including Panera, DICK’S Sporting Goods, T-Mobile, and Zillow, trust Radar’s location tracking SDKs and maps APIs to power location-based experiences across hundreds of millions of devices worldwide.
