I work a lot with address and place data. One of the key features of Placekey is that Placekey is robust to name and address variation. It knows "MLK blvd #101" and "Martin Luther King Blvd STE 101" are the same address. It also is robust to typos or variation in name like "Village Pizza" vs "Village Inn Pizza & Pasta". It does great with some of my favorite edge scenarios, like two Starbucks across the street with similar addresses; the API knows that these are different places and does not merge them together. This natural ambiguity is what makes address and place data so challenging, and Placekey is built exactly to help solve these types of problems. The list of launch partners also includes a lot of major platforms (e.g., Esri, Carto), we hope this helps a lot of people.
