Addressr review
A focused Australian address API with hosted and self-hosted deployment.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Addressr is an Australian address validation and search product for developers and teams building forms or data workflows. It supports address validation, autocomplete, search, structured address details and optional geocoding. Searches can also target suburbs, towns, postcodes, states and territories. Addressr uses Australia’s Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF), making it a focused fit for Australian address data rather than an international coverage tool.
The product is available through hosted API access or self-hosted deployment. Its platforms include web, API and self-hosted use, while the self-hosted API runs in infrastructure controlled by the customer. The FREE plan includes unlimited API calls and containerised self-hosting, and the self-hosted edition is available under the Apache-2.0 licence. That combination suits teams seeking control over deployment and address data handling. Hosted plans include the same core address capabilities, with community support on Trial and 24×7 AEST support on PRO, Ultra, Mega and ENTERPRISE.
Addressr’s strength is its narrow, practical coverage of Australian address workflows: validation, autocomplete, search, geolocation-enhanced search, structured details, postcode lookup and automatic G-NAF data updates. It is a strong choice for Australian forms, applications and data services that need an API or customer-controlled deployment. Teams needing international address coverage should choose another product, and organisations focused on batch validation, correction or standardization should look for a platform built around those workflows rather than individual address search and capture.
