Choosing an address autocomplete and address validation solution is a big step. Here is a comparison of Radar and Smarty to help you make a decision.
Radar is the cost-effective, developer-friendly alternative to Smarty. Like Smarty, Radar provides address validation, address autocomplete, and geocoding capabilities. However, Radar is a more complete platform, is up to 90% less expensive, and technical teams prefer our open-source SDKs and developer-friendly documentation.
Radar’s address validation and geocoding capabilities are part of our Maps Platform, which also includes routing APIs and base maps. 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.
