Addrex Address Validation API vs PostNL Address Validation API

Addrex Address Validation API validates and standardizes U.S. addresses, returning match codes, confidence scores, coordinates, and standardized fields. It supports API requests as well as spreadsheet cleanup: users can upload CSV or Excel files, process detected address columns, and download cleaned data with output fields appended. Cleanup can expand abbreviations, correct typos, parse grid-style inputs, and append ZIP+4 when a match is available. The API accepts a one-line address or structured address fields and returns JSON with validation status, confidence, standardized results, and changes. Free Beta allows 10,000 validation rows per day, requires email verification, and does not include autocomplete. The listed Free Beta plan has 10,000 address lookups per month; paid plans start at $39 a month. Autocomplete suggestions and details are restricted to paid plans. Real-time API address data is not retained beyond the request, while batch files default to seven days of retention and can be deleted sooner. Addrex does not claim USPS DPV or CASS certification.

PostNL Address Validation API checks address data entered in a webshop or CRM for Netherlands and international destinations. As customers type a few letters or numbers, it can suggest matching addresses. Documentation describes coverage across more than 250 countries, regions, and island groups. Responses may include a locally formatted address, component fields, mailability and similarity scores, and latitude and longitude. The service supports correction, standardization, and autocomplete. Its international v3 endpoint uses POST and requires an API key with application/json content. CountryIso is mandatory; city, postal code, street, and house number are recommended inputs. PostNL lists plugins for Magento, WooCommerce, ShopWare, and Opencart for Dutch validation. The Benelux plan is free for PostNL parcel-contract customers and requires that contract. International validation starts at €0.02, paid once per API call, with bundle pricing varying by address volume. Returning multiple addresses in one response is temporarily unavailable. PostNL offers demos and data-solutions support.
