Postcode intelligence

Postcode reports, comparison, area discovery and the Postcodewise API — one consolidated service line.

Up to 1.8M+ UK postcode locations, depending on data availability Public data from DfE, ONS and Police.uk where available Save places to your dashboard for repeatable reviews Compare two postcodes side-by-side with headline scores and quick difference labels Regional browse pages, area maps and research tables for early area shortlisting REST API and themed embeddable widget for portals, intranets and product teams

Postcodewise turns official local datasets into postcode-level reports for homebuyers, councils, safeguarding leads and GIS analysts who need traceable evidence.

Reports are designed for screen sharing and committee packs while keeping source attribution and licensing visible.

Comparison mode helps stakeholder meetings where teams need to decide between competing sites or wards quickly — use it before a tender to score candidate locations against a baseline postcode.

Discovery is deliberately lighter than reports, so teams can discuss options before they need a formal evidence pack. Open a full postcode report once a candidate location is clear.

Engineering teams can call the same Postcodewise data through a JSON API or embed a themed widget, with origin allow-lists and visible usage quotas. Combine with postcode reports internally while customers only see a clean interface.

Pricing glossary & FAQ

Plain-language meanings for wording used on this page and in quotations.

How are paid services priced?▼

Self-serve features are free to start where shown. Higher-volume API access, onboarding, exports, SLA support or custom workspace work is quoted and confirmed in writing before we invoice.

What is a workspace?▼

A workspace is the organisational boundary in Postcodewise where your team members are invited, assets like surveys or uploads live, and usage is reconciled. Business accounts create or join a workspace to collaborate under one agreement.

How do I confirm a final price?▼

Use the call-to-action on the tier that fits, or contact us with your context. We document fees, usage caps and support terms in writing before any paid work starts.
