Geocodio

What do you like best?

Free version isn't especially limited. Very easy to use user interface — not daunting to explain to end users. It also retrieves accuracy of the address — plus the source of the validation.

What do you dislike?

Batch size on free version is capped. So if you are working with large data sets, you may be splitting your workload into multiple days. Also, API functionality plus characteristics are part of the premium version.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Very easy to use geocoding platform that is web based. It has API capabilities too. Free version is feasible for most day-to-day tasks — premium is worthwhile if you are querying large batches and/or want other characteristics with the data.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Returning Long/Lat for list of addresses. Also pulling in census data, demographics, and household information.
