Making location APIs simple and affordable.
We're on a mission to democratize location services by providing reliable, cost-effective APIs that developers actually want to use.
Our Mission
Democratizing location services
Location Service was born from a simple frustration: why should developers pay premium prices for basic location functionality? Why should setting up maps and address validation require weeks of complex infrastructure work?
We believe every developer should have access to reliable, affordable location APIs without the complexity of managing AWS infrastructure or the high costs of traditional providers like Google Maps.
Our mission is to level the playing field by providing enterprise-grade location services at startup-friendly prices, backed by the reliability of AWS infrastructure.
