Geocoding only, no place search or routing.\n\n**Stadia Maps.** Public OpenAPI spec (11.1.0) with generated TypeScript and Python SDKs. Free plan is for development, testing and demos only.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### OpenCage Geocoding API\n\n1. Add no_annotations=1 and limit=1 when you only need coordinates\n2. Stop on 402, which means the day's quota is gone, and back off on 429\n3. Add no_record=1 when the query holds personal data\n4. Redact the key parameter before logging request URLs\n5. Credit OpenStreetMap wherever you show results\n\n### Stadia Maps\n\n1. Send the key as `Authorization: Stadia-Auth \u003ckey\u003e` rather than in the URL\n2. Try Autocomplete v2 (1 credit) before a full geocode (20 credits) when a name is enough\n3. Check the dashboard's credit balance before retrying a 429, since it may mean the month is spent\n4. Don't write geocodes to a database on Free or Starter\n5. Use bulk-geocode for addresses only, not POI names\n\n## Other comparisons with OpenCage Geocoding API or Stadia Maps\n\n- [Geoapify Location Platform + MCP vs OpenCage Geocoding API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/geoapify-vs-opencage.md)\n- [Geoapify Location Platform + MCP vs Stadia Maps](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/geoapify-vs-stadia-maps.md)\n- [Google Maps Platform + Grounding Lite MCP vs OpenCage Geocoding API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-maps-platform-vs-opencage.md)\n- [Google Maps Platform + Grounding Lite MCP vs Stadia Maps](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-maps-platform-vs-stadia-maps.md)\n- [LocationIQ vs OpenCage Geocoding API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/locationiq-vs-opencage.md)\n- [LocationIQ vs Stadia Maps](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/locationiq-vs-stadia-maps.md)\n- [Mapbox APIs + MCP vs OpenCage Geocoding API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mapbox-vs-opencage.md)\n- [Mapbox APIs + MCP vs Stadia Maps](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mapbox-vs-stadia-maps.md)\n- [OpenCage Geocoding API vs TomTom Maps APIs + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/opencage-vs-tomtom.md)\n- [Stadia Maps vs TomTom Maps APIs + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/stadia-maps-vs-tomtom.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-04", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "OpenCage Geocoding API vs Stadia Maps", "url": "" } ], "description": "OpenCage Geocoding API has a score of 69.5 (B) against Stadia Maps's 65.5 (B).
