Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpenCage Geocoder is a cloud service for converting addresses, place names, and coordinates into location data worldwide. It supports forward and reverse geocoding, geosearch for autocomplete, spreadsheet uploads, and structured responses with confidence scores, display strings, and annotations. The product is aimed at developers and organizations building location-aware applications, logistics tools, data-processing workflows, and map-based services through web and API access.
The published plans begin with a Free trial offering 2,500 requests per day, 1 request per second, files up to 100 rows, and no credit card requirement; it is intended for testing. X-Small costs $50 per month and adds 10,000 requests per day, 15 requests per second, files up to 10,000 rows, multiple API keys, and priority support. Small costs $125 per month with 30,000 requests per day and 20 requests per second. Medium costs $500 per month with 125,000 requests per day, 25 requests per second, single sign-on, and priority support. Large provides 300,000 requests per day, 40 requests per second, single sign-on, and priority support. Enterprise adds higher limits, larger files, custom data formats, custom SLAs, and dedicated support.
OpenCage’s focus is geocoding infrastructure rather than broad location planning. Its REST API supports JSON, GeoJSON, XML, and Google-compatible response formats, while API key management, IP restrictions, CORS controls, permanent caching, and storage of API results support application workflows. Integrations include Leaflet, OpenLayers, MapLibre, Python, Node.js, Java, PHP, Ruby, Android, and iOS, with libraries for more than 40 languages and frameworks. Choose it for address conversion, reverse lookup, autocomplete, and batch geocoding. Choose another product when verified drive-time analysis, territory planning, demographic data, or wider location-planning capabilities are central requirements.
