Radar

Radar is a location infrastructure platform that offers geofencing, geocoding, address validation and trip tracking, through APIs and SDKs, for apps and operations that depend on geographic data.

Geofences can be circles or complex polygons, and the app receives events when an authorized device enters or leaves the area. The platform also covers maps, routing, route optimization and route matching, which snaps coordinates to road networks, plus geo-compliance and fraud prevention, which verify user location, for example in gaming.

The company states that Radar's coverage and accuracy are strongest in the United States and Canada, a point to test for anyone operating in Latin America.

Radar at radar.com is not Stripe Radar, which is a payment fraud prevention product.

Radar does not show a plan table on the pages consulted: the vendor describes billing per monthly tracked user (MTU) for geofencing and tracking, and per request for geocoding.

• MTU (monthly tracked user): a unique user who sends at least one location event in the month, according to the terms of use.
• Geofencing and tracking: pricing is per MTU, not by number of geofences, according to Radar's blog. The per-MTU rate was not found.
• Geocoding: Radar's own pages cite 100,000 free requests per month and $0.50 per 1,000 requests above that, with volume discounts.
• Free version: the terms say it has a limit on API calls, MTUs and geofences, but the numbers were not found.
• Enterprise: a blog post says Enterprise plans include a dedicated customer success manager, implementation consulting and technical escalation. The price is quote-based.

The billing cycle, monthly or annual, was not confirmed.

List prices published by the vendor, checked in October 2026.

Through Nexforce Marketplace, Radar can be purchased in Brazilian reais with a Brazilian tax invoice (nota fiscal).

The main features of Radar are geofencing, geocoding, address validation, trip tracking, maps and routing, and geo-compliance with fraud prevention.

• Geofencing: areas as circles or complex polygons, with entry and exit events for authorized devices.
• Geocoding: converts addresses to coordinates (forward) and coordinates to addresses (reverse), with address search.
• Address validation: supports forms and operations that need to check the location data users provide.
• Trip tracking: movement events for route and arrival experiences.
• Maps and routing: maps, routing, route optimization for vehicles and crews, and route matching, which snaps coordinates to road networks.
• Geo-compliance and fraud prevention: location and device signals to verify where a user is.
• API and SDK: Radar documents per-endpoint limits, such as 50 requests per second for geofence search and 10 per second for fetching a geofence, with higher limits requested through the customer success manager.

Radar is worth it for teams that need geofencing and tracking alongside geocoding and maps on one platform, but its strongest coverage is in the United States and Canada.

Pros:

• It charges geofencing per monthly tracked user, not by number of geofences, according to Radar's blog.
• It brings geofencing, geocoding, address validation, maps and geo-compliance together on one platform.
• It supports geofences as circles and as complex polygons.
• Radar's own pages cite 100,000 free geocoding requests per month.
• It documents per-endpoint limits, and higher limits can be requested through the customer success manager.

Cons:

• Radar itself says coverage and accuracy are strongest in the US and Canada, a critical point for operations in Latin America.
• No public per-MTU price table appeared on the pages consulted, so the cost of geofencing at scale depends on contacting the vendor.
• Radar acknowledges that Mapbox Studio gives deeper layer-level cartographic control, which matters if the custom map is the product.
• The free version has limits on API calls, MTUs and geofences, according to the terms, with no numbers published on the pages consulted.

The main alternatives to Radar are Google Maps Platform (Google Cloud), Mapbox, HERE and TomTom, according to the comparisons Radar itself publishes.

• Google Maps Platform (Google Cloud): the reference for map data in consumer apps; according to Radar's comparison, it has no managed geofencing product, which Radar offers.
• Mapbox: geofencing is a mobile SDK feature for iOS and Android that monitors entry, exit and dwell, billed per monthly active user. Radar acknowledges that Mapbox Studio has deeper map styling control.
• HERE: Radar describes it as oriented toward automotive and logistics, with geofencing listed as limited and broader global coverage.
• TomTom: according to Radar, it is stronger in routing for electric vehicles and in real-time traffic depth.

Because the comparisons come from Radar itself, they are worth confirming on each vendor's site.
