My Geocode

Geocodio drop-in replacement

Why people move

The same interface, worldwide coverage, and no per-lookup pricing tiers to track.

Try it before you sign up for anything. Requests to geocodio.mygeocode.com count toward the same 2,500 a day you get on our own endpoints, with no key and no account. Above that, credits at $0.001 per request or €50 a month unlimited. Signing up takes an email address and nothing else.

Details and differences

  • accuracy_type uses Geocodio's labels: rooftop, point, range_interpolation, nearest_rooftop_match, street_center, place, county, state.
  • Any v1.x path prefix is accepted. The fields parameter for appended data (congressional districts, timezones) supports timezone only.

If your client depends on a field or behaviour that is not listed here, tell us. Compatibility gaps get fixed quickly because they are usually small.
