Geocoding — entry 019 of 80
Geoapify
Geoapify's Geocoding API covers forward/reverse geocoding, address autocomplete, and batch requests, returning GeoJSON by default with JSON or XML available via a format parameter. Billing is credit-based — one geocoding request costs one credit — and unlike some competitors its free tier (3,000 credits/day, 5 requests/second) explicitly permits limited commercial use rather than testing only. Paid plans start at $59/month for 10,000 credits/day, scaling to custom unmetered enterprise pricing.
