Detailed Review
Allies Computing Ltd, registered in England and Wales, operates Postcoder from Norwich. The footer states a company number and a VAT number.
The core product is address lookup with autocomplete and postcode lookup. Bank, mobile and email validation are sold under the same account.
Plans
You start with a free trial and then buy credit packs, beginning at 10,000 credits, or take a monthly plan. We did not use the price figures because the pricing text could not be read reliably, so check the vendor page for amounts.
Validation beyond addresses
Bank account, mobile and email validation sit beside address lookup, which suits a checkout or onboarding form that checks several fields.
These are separate checks from the address data.
Coverage
The site lists address lookup for the UK, and the pages we opened do not describe other countries.
Hosting location and ownership were not verified.
Limitations to Consider
Price figures were not verified, address data is mainly UK-focused, and owner and hosting are not verified. For several countries consider Postcode.nl.
Who Should Use Postcoder
UK developers who want address lookup plus bank and email checks from one UK supplier.
