Algolia Places Sunset

At the end of 2020, Algolia announced that they will be discontinuing their Algolia Places service in May 2022. Our autocomplete service is a great alternative for Algolia Places which can be set up in just a couple of minutes. Since Algolia was nice enough to highlight Geocode Earth as a replacement in their sunset post, we thought we’d help make the transition as easy as possible by summarizing the similarities (and differences!) relevant to anyone looking for a new address autocomplete solution.
