Zip Code API Pricing – This isn’t Rocket Science

We were looking at zip code API pricing.  These are probably your primary choices:

Here’s what we found when we looked at a few different price points:

Annual Budget $100/year $300/year $1,000/year
SmartyStreets nothing 12,000 API calls 120,000 API calls
Zip-codes.com 3,000 API calls 120,000 API calls 1.2M API calls
ZipCodeAPI 1,752,000 API calls 21.9M API calls 109.5M API calls

And we were struck with one big question: why is SmartyStreets so expensive? We still don’t think it’s rocket science. Rockets are expensive. But we don’t think it should be so expensive to use a zip code API.
