Why choose GeoPostcodes as the GeoNames Alternative

Official Data Sources

While Mapbox relies heavily on sources such as OpenStreetMap data, GeoPostcodes sources information from over 1,500 official sources worldwide, ensuring accuracy and reliability for your business operations.

Unmatched Data Accuracy

At GeoPostcodes, we focus on delivering highly accurate and granular location data. Our data comes from over 1,500 verified sources worldwide, ensuring superior coverage and accuracy, especially in difficult geographies such as China, the UK, Russia, and Brazil.

Regular Data Updates

We understand the importance of keeping your data timely and accurate. That’s why we provide frequent data updates, ensuring you always have access to the most current information.

Dedicated Expert Service

Instead of depending on OpenStreetMap's community forums for assistance, our dedicated team brings deep expertise across data, technology, and strategy to ensure the best fit between geospatial solutions and your business needs.

Clear Commercial Licensing

GeoPostcodes offers straightforward commercial licensing terms, providing you with the legal clarity and security needed for business applications. This differs from GeoNames' Creative Commons licensing, which may present challenges for commercial use.

The #1 global location data partner for Enterprise and product-builders

The team have been super helpful in answering my questions during the process. They were very catering to my needs and helped me eliminate false postal code data that was blocking my migration to MS dynamics.

Nick Beaugié

Senior Software Engineer

While using publicly available data, we realized that data coverage and quality issues were holding us back. GeoPostcodes data has made a huge difference in our ability to reliably geocode and resolve addresses.

I can forget about postal data errors because I know GeoPostcodes is working great. And I can use my time to solve other problems. Having all of this information at our disposal is really important.
