Address autocomplete works by sending a lookup as your customer types. Type “12 Bourke St” and that is already a dozen requests behind the scenes. If a provider bills you for each one, you get punished for the feature working exactly as designed. WattleAddr is priced the way you actually think about the value: one address captured, one lookup.
Metered by session, not by request
All the keystrokes a customer types while finding a single address collapse into one billable lookup. The autocomplete traffic in between is not metered. So your usage tracks something you can predict, the number of addresses your customers actually complete, rather than raw typing volume.
- One completed address = one lookup. Every suggestion request in that session is included.
- Look but don't pick? A session where someone types and never selects an address falls under fair use, not your bill.
- Predictable. If you know roughly how many checkouts or signups you get, you know roughly what you will use.
Start free, scale on one plan
There is a genuinely usable free tier to start building, and the paid tier is a base allowance with overage, so a single plan scales from a small store up through the mid-market without forcing a migration between tiers as you grow. Everything is quoted in Australian dollars.
You pay for addresses captured, not for the keystrokes it took to find them, in AUD, from an Australian company.
The sovereignty difference
The familiar alternatives are operated offshore and bill in US dollars, and every keystroke your customers type is sent to a foreign service to do it. WattleAddr keeps address lookups, and your customers' keystrokes, in Australia. Predictable pricing is the practical win; sovereignty is the one that matters when your customers ask where their data goes.
