What do you like best about Postcoder?

Simple to integrate, clean verified addresses, easy to use for our end users. Helpful and quick responses from the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postcoder?

Certain datasets like the Eircode directory have limitations as to their trial usage that limits the amount of time development teams can have to integrate and test. There really should be a means to have unlimited development access to data and APIs without credit usage for those that have a production license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postcoder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Validated address input and simplified customer journeys Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jasmine Robinson Madden of Postcoder

We're glad to hear that you find Postcoder simple to integrate and easy to use for your end users. We strive to provide helpful and quick support to all our customers. We do understand your concerns about limitations on trial usage for certain datasets. Some datasets have licensing requirements that prevent us from offering unlimited trial or development usage. We will take your feedback on this into consideration as we continue to improve our services, particularly for users in the development phase. Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

What do you like best about Postcoder?

Had really good customer support. After starting the trial I was contacted to understand our use case but was not pushed for a sale. We didn't need any support as the API documentation was sufficiently detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postcoder?

I would prefer a more straightforward per lookup billing to the credit based system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postcoder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Postcoder has been integrated with our ERP platform to give customer address lookups. Helpful in ensuring we only attempt to ship to accurate and valid addresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postcoder?

Easy to use API that's fast and reliable, reasonable pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postcoder?

Email alerts for increases in usage can be overzealous (e.g. alert because a site has used 10 lookups in one day instead of the usual 1 or 2 lookups). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postcoder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our clients want a fast, reliable way to help their customers enter their addresses in online forms. Postcoder means we can offer this without significant integration costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postcoder?

The dashboard is a clean dashboard, clearly shows the usage of the credits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postcoder?

The date selection of the usage dashboard is not that intuitive, it took me a couple of goes to work out how to select a start and end date, but that may be just me.

Also, the show all requests drop down seems to be showing all the same requests for each category i.e. if I select adress lookup and then select bank validation, the daily numbers are the same - then the daily numbers are the same for the other categories such as email validation, OTP validation etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postcoder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enables our agents to verify addresses, thus improving data quality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postcoder?

The excellent API documentation. They have an extensive range of API services available and the implementation is easy with their accurate documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postcoder?

I've never liked the credit package model, having to buy a specific amount of lookups in advance. A pay for what you use monthly billing cycle would be far better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postcoder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Postcoder provides address lookup facilities to our customers during checkout Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
