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.
