Congrats on launching, this market definitely needs more competition !
There is no mention of it in the homepage, is the dataset covering the entire world?

Thank you!!
Yes, we do cover the entire world, checkout: https://placekit.io/terms/coverage.
To be precise, we support 246 countries over 249 from the ISO-3166-1 list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1) for now. Improving the global coverage is a continuous effort and we'll add the remaining missing islands very soon!
Great job, finally a good replacement for Algolia places
Unlike big competitors Google Places and Mapbox, it’s a single REST API, with a unique and transparent per-request pricing. PlaceKit combines OpenStreetMap, local datasets and the Algolia engine into a unique sub 50ms worldwide address search.
We’ve made our JS libraries from scratch to make them lightweight, customizable, and compatible with any stack. We provide integration examples, and an annotated OpenAPI reference for other languages/use-cases.
Give it a go at https://placekit.io! We offer a free plan with 10k requests per month, including all features. Any feedback on your PlaceKit journey would be very valuable.
Which use-cases would you consider using PlaceKit for?
