"Useful Tool for Quick, In-Depth Results"
What do you like best about Smarty?

It was very fast and easy to get the addresses reviewed. Additionally, the depth of returned material was nice. It is great to know more about addresses, why they may be invalid or their status in addition to just correcting the physical material. Sorting the outputs into categories was incredibly helpful to my analysis, and made decision-making a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smarty?

Smarty returned in depth material, but upon review some of the invalid addresses returned were simple errors of formatting. For example, 123MAIN STREET was deemed invalid. Upon investigation and re-running, 123 MAIN STREET was valid. It was minorly frustrating to have several errors, such as BOB CAT versus BOBCAT, or RED BUD versus REDBUD, completely throw the system off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Smarty Marketing of Smarty

Thank you for your review! The issues you're having with BOB CAT vs BOBCAT should be solved by using "enhanced" instead of "strict" for your match parameter. Enhanced mode was written specifically to fix these sorts of problems. Don't hesitate to reach out to our support if you have any questions.

"Effortless Setup and Outstanding Support with Smarty"
What do you like best about Smarty?

I love how easy it was to set up Smarty. The API was the quickest and most user-friendly integration in our entire stack. Since we use it every day, the reliability and simplicity have been fantastic. There are also many valuable use cases we can support with it. And whenever we’ve needed help, customer support has been responsive and genuinely helpful. Overall, it has been simple, effective, and a pleasure to work with.

"Effective Address Verification That Saves Money and Time. Needs for license more options."
What do you like best about Smarty?

We are a volunteer organization that has approximately 2500 members. Quarterly we send out newsletters to our membership via snail mail. Somehow I was roped into helping with mailings since I take care of our online membership and website. I was looking for a rather simple web based program that could verify address since our membership list has address that are approximately 30 years old. With the new bulk mailing rules/process USPS uses we needed something to verify these address and be able to fix them if needed. Smarty was the best option. It is not perfect, but it works to verify and even gives changes to address when needed. We went from approximately 300 address being kicked out by USPS to approximately 20-30 now. With bulk mailing you pay whether it is delivered to an address or not. Smarty definitely saved us money the first few mailings. The best part of Smarty is that I think they are one of the only companies that never tried to upsell us. As a not for profit volunteer organization money can be a bit tight some days.... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smarty?

We have to buy two licenses each month of use. They don't have an in between user option. Some address are still kicked out by USPS verification tool, but that is minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for your review! We're glad we can help you reduce your returned snail mail.

"Quick Implementation, Precise Address Solutions"
What do you like best about Smarty?

I appreciate Smarty for its ease of implementation which significantly shortens the development time for integrating address autocomplete features. As an engineer, I find the documentation to be clear and well-written, making the setup process smooth and efficient. I am impressed by the capability of Smarty to provide precise address suggestions from partial inputs, which is crucial in e-commerce flows where customers provide minimal information. The detailed address information functionality, including latitude and longitude data and apartment or suite details, adds significant value to our operations. Additionally, the Smarty dashboard is an excellent tool for monitoring usage and errors, providing me with the necessary insights to ensure smooth functioning. Their testing tools and straightforward API enhance user-friendliness, making it easy to test endpoints and requests. Overall, Smarty stands out as a premium solution for address recommendation tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smarty?

I find the pricing of Smarty to be quite aggressive, which can be a challenge, although it seems to be standard across similar address autocomplete services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Smarty Marketing of Smarty

Thank you for your review! We know that ecommerce requires the best data possible, and we're glad you found that in Smarty.

"Outstanding Support and Flexible Address Validation Solutions"
What do you like best about Smarty?

Their CS, Sales and Support teams are very good at communicating if we have any questions or issues. They provide good API documentation and can accommodate both address auto-complete and validation requirements for the US and International addresses. They were very responsive to our feedback and added a new requirement we asked for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smarty?

There are some inconsistencies with the accuracy of validations for different countries. There are also quite a lot of detail passed through the API so it's a bit difficult to know how strict we should be with our address validation. If they offered best practices or different "levels" of validation, that would be great. It's nice that now we know commercial vs. residential addresses so we can control the the level of address validation for both use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Smarty Marketing of Smarty

Thank you for your feedback! We're continually working to improve all of our datasets, including international addresses.

"Developer-Friendly API with Excellent Data Quality"
What do you like best about Smarty?

I really appreciate how Smarty's API is organized to deliver precisely the type of address and place data I need. Compared to other APIs, such as Google, it is much more developer-friendly. Using it is a pleasure. It’s straightforward to implement, and the data quality has consistently been excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smarty?

Honestly, if you work extensively with addresses, Smarty can feel somewhat pricey, particularly when it comes to the autocomplete API. Striking the right balance between a responsive user experience and the number of API calls is challenging, and it's easy to hit your usage limits, even during development.
