Addresser vs Addressify

Addresser validates Australian and New Zealand addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers in real time or in batches. Its address API parses, standardizes, verifies, and enriches an address in one call, with results that can include a DPID, geocoordinates, SA1, SA2, LGA, and Meshblock data. Address Auto Complete offers suggestions through a JavaScript drop-in or REST API. Addresser states that it covers Australia, including PO Boxes, and New Zealand, with a 99.9% match rate against Australia Post and G-NAF. The API output meets AMAS criteria and may qualify for Australia Post bulk mail discounts. A WordPress plugin brings autocomplete to WooCommerce checkout, while HTTP-compliant requests allow API use from desktop, mobile, and web applications. Address data updates monthly in Australia and quarterly in New Zealand. Addresser says customer data is processed and stored in Sydney and not transferred outside Australia in ordinary operations; data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Free plans include 1,000 lookups over 30 days; Lite costs $10, paid once.

Addressify is a cloud API for Australian address verification and processing in websites, forms, apps, and business systems. It can correct incomplete or inaccurate entries, including misspellings and incorrect postcodes, and parse free-form text into fields such as building name, unit, street, suburb, state, and postcode. Its autocomplete supports address entry; geocoding can return latitude and longitude from an address or identify an address from coordinates. It can also provide a meshblock for use with ABS sociodemographic data. Addressify uses the Australian government's G-NAF dataset and says it refreshes data every three months when new government data is released. The API supports HTTPS and can integrate with software that makes HTTP GET calls and handles JSON, including CRM and ERP systems and Microsoft Excel, Access, and Word. Lite validates street-level fields but not whether unit, level, or street numbers exist; Pro provides complete validation. The 30-day Trial costs nothing and permits 1,000 daily API calls. Lite costs $2,000 a year and Pro costs $4,000 a year; both prices are GST exclusive.
