About

Positionstack is a real-time global geocoding API service that provides reliable forward geocoding (converting free-text addresses or place names into latitude/longitude coordinates) and reverse geocoding (turning geographic coordinates or IP addresses into structured location data) via simple REST endpoints with JSON, XML, or GeoJSON responses. It combines an extensive dataset covering more than two billion places and addresses worldwide with scalable cloud infrastructure to support applications of any size, handling high request volumes with rapid average response times and broad coverage. It supports features such as batch geocoding to process multiple locations at once, multi-language results, embeddable map URLs, and optional modules that return details like country information or time zones, helping developers enrich apps with comprehensive location intelligence.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • API interface is clean and easy to use Performance is great, request times are low and we haven't noticed any down time since we've started using Smarty The address precision seems very good. Better than some other providers we've tried.
  • Easy and quick setup process Reliable property ownership verification Smooth API integration for automation workflows User-friendly dashboard for manual verification Helps reduce manual effort and improve efficiency Supports scalable and high-volume operations
  • For the last 3 years, and across 2 different organizations that service populations across Florida, we have used Smarty to validate addresses as well as to help calculate distances between the patients' home and the optimal point of care. In addition, we can quickly advise the health plan to invalid addresses in combination with phone numbers that are either missing or invalid.
  • -Super fast loading -Easy to integrate -Verification and autocomplete across multiple countries -Price
  • - Ease of integration - Low latency / real time validation - Pricing - Customer support is top notch and always responds quickly.

Cons

  • Price is a little high compared to other solutions
  • Address coverage can improve, and auto-correction for minor input errors would be helpful.
  • Currently, Smarty doesn't allow for carry-over of all or a percentage of unused lookups. This would be great because we have variation in our month-to-month patient enrollment. Being able to rollover the lookups we've paid for would be ideal. Perhaps they could also reduce the clicks needed to access lookup tool - not a big deal at all.
  • -Not using Australia Post standard -Original setup didn't work, but now does.
  • - No pay as you go pricing model currently. - International validation is expensive.
