Note: For price comparison purposes, we are comparing annual credit pack prices. Competitor prices are based on publicly available annual pricing information as of January 2026, specifically comparing against annual credit pack rates (not monthly subscription prices). We have included direct links to each competitor's pricing page in the table above so you can verify these prices yourself. We encourage you to do your own research and compare pricing directly on their websites. Actual prices may vary. All prices exclude VAT.

Calculate Your Annual Savings

6,000 120,000 credits/year 250,000

Monthly average: 10,000 credits

+1 credit per lookup — UPRN is the unique identifier for every addressable location in Great Britain, provided by Ordnance Survey. It's a programmable option that can be added to each individual address search for enhanced data accuracy and geocoding. All providers charge extra for UPRN data.

Included at no extra cost: All ePostcode addresses include Latitude/Longitude coordinates as standard. This geographical data is included in your credit search at no additional charge.

Note: All calculations use annual credit pricing. For volumes over 100,000 credits/year, ePostcode reseller pricing applies, offering even greater savings.

Pricing Notes & Assumptions

Annual Pricing: All competitor prices are based on annual credit pack purchases, which typically offer better rates than monthly subscriptions. The calculator uses annual volumes for accurate comparisons.

ePostcode Standard Pricing: Uses a logarithmic scale based on monthly average usage, from 3.8p per lookup at 500 credits/month to 2.4p per lookup at 100,000 credits/month. Your annual volume is divided by 12 to calculate the average monthly rate.

UPRN (Optional): Add UPRN (Unique Property Reference Number) for +1 credit per lookup. UPRN is provided by Ordnance Survey and provides the unique identifier for every addressable location in Great Britain. All competitors also charge extra for UPRN data — when UPRN is selected, competitor pricing is calculated accordingly.

Included at No Extra Cost: All ePostcode addresses include Latitude/Longitude coordinates as standard. This geographical data is included in your base credit search at no additional charge, providing built-in geocoding capabilities.

ePostcode Reseller Pricing (≥100K annual): For volumes exceeding 100,000 credits/year, reseller pricing applies with even more competitive rates and the ability to aggregate credits across multiple clients.

Competitor Rates (Pay As You Go):

  • Ideal Postcodes: 3.8p @ 1,100 lookups, 3.7p @ 4,300, 2.8p @ 32,100 (PAYG)
  • Postcoder: ~5.0p per lookup (2 credits per lookup, annual)
  • Data-8: ~3.5p per lookup (annual credit packs)
  • Fetchify: ~5.0p per lookup (based on typical annual pricing)

Competitor pricing estimates are based on publicly available information and may vary. Contact providers directly for precise quotes. This calculator helps you estimate potential annual savings.
