Product Description

Our mission at PlaceKit is to become the go-to geocoding solution for developers. Existing solutions feel opaque as they're split across many indiscernible APIs, confusing pricing, and locking developers into their ecosystem. We put the focus on the developer experience, and the main PlaceKit benefits are: ✨ A single REST API with a worldwide addresses catalog and transparent per-request pricing with a free plan. 📦 Integrate easily anywhere with any maps provider or JS framework thanks to our SDKs and OpenAPI reference. ⚡️ Blazing fast, typo-tolerant and high-relevance search powered by Algolia engine. Example use-cases: 📈 Increase conversions with address autocomplete and form filling. 🚚 Reduce miss-shipments with address validation. ✅ Data normalisation. 🗺️ Search for places on a map. 🌍 Country-restricted content with reverse geocoding. Top features: 🛠️ Live Patching: with the amount of data, no provider can pretend to have it 100% right, so we'll let you fix addresses and make them instantly available to your users. Addressing one of the most missing features from other solutions. 📍 Store Locator: define your points of interest with free-form metadata and let your users find the nearest ones to their location.

They made so easy to implement API with any kind website by providing the documentation for developers . I love how easy the autocomplete feature is to implement.

Customers can't fill random data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PlaceKit?

The Placekit platform is where Placekit stands out most by their teamwork. Collaborating with my team has never been so expeditive. The cloud storage doesn’t just allow us to share files but the updates with everyone are synchronous, too. No more lots of email going from one place to another with the ultimatum version being forced upon you once the decision is made! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlaceKit?

PlaceKit is neither equipped with a strong version control nor tracks or records any changes in Committee Levels. The most irritating thing that bothered me while working as a senior digital marketer was that if any person makes a mistake or requires reversion to any previous version, it is difficult to get rid of the mess. It caused wasting some crucial work due to some undesirable occasions where the important things were overwritten. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PlaceKit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Introduced us into a new level of working, Placekit has brought all our creative stuff into a single database. Say goodbye to the age when you had to frantically search for files or ask has the newest version of it belonged to so or so. These measures are effective as they ensure project progression without any time loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
