Radar vs. LocationSmart feature comparison

Radar is the enterprise-ready, developer-friendly alternative to LocationSmart. Like LocationSmart, Radar provides geolocation compliance and fraud detection capabilities. However, Radar powers hundreds of billions of transactions per year, and technical teams prefer our open-source SDKs and developer-friendly documentation.

Radar’s geolocation compliance solution is part of our industry-leading Geofencing Platform, which also supports location-based marketing, indoor location, geofencing, place visit detection, trip tracking, and advanced location analytics.

Together with our Maps Platform, Radar provides full-stack location infrastructure for any product or service. We’ve set the standard for location accuracy, privacy, enterprise-readiness, and developer experience. Thousands of companies, including Sleeper, 1/ST, Panera, DICK’S Sporting Goods, T-Mobile, and Zillow, trust Radar’s location tracking SDKs and maps APIs to power location-based experiences across hundreds of millions of devices worldwide.
