Choosing an address validation solution is a big step. Here is a comparison of Radar and the USPS APIs to help you make a decision.
Radar is the developer-friendly alternative to the USPS APIs. Like the USPS APIs, Radar provides address validation 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 capabilities are part of our Maps Platform, which also includes address autocomplete APIs, geocoding APIs, 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.
