Google Maps Geocoding alternative

Geocoding you're allowed to store — with the Census block Google won't give you

Weganar returns rooftop-accurate US coordinates and the 15-digit Census block for every address — and you own the results forever. No caching restrictions, no per-map-load pricing. Pay for what you use.

You can store your results

Google's terms restrict caching and storing geocoding content. If your app writes lat/lng to a database — as almost every analytics, CRM, or property workflow does — that's a compliance problem. With Weganar you geocode once and keep the result. It's your data.

Census block on every result

Google and Mapbox hand you coordinates and stop. Weganar returns the 15-digit 2020 Census block GEOID on every rooftop/parcel match — the join key for demographics, HMDA/CRA reporting, and any Census enrichment. No second API, no PostGIS.

Pay-as-you-go, not per-map-load

No bundling with a Maps SDK you don't use. A free Developer tier (5,000 geocodes/month), simple monthly plans, and prepaid credits for enrichment reports.

That censusBlock field is the one you'd otherwise build a whole pipeline for.
