Missing Algolia Places? Join PlaceKit!

Algolia Places was an address autocomplete solution powered by the famous Algolia search engine and loved by developers. It eventually got sunset on May 2022, forcing its customers to compromise with other solutions.

We, two former employees, took on a mission to revive Algolia Places, and bring it further, making it a full geocoding service: meet PlaceKit!
