LocationIQ wasn't meant to compete with paid offerings. It was merely a way for the team at Unwired Labs to give back to the OSM community. We think the good folks at OSM deserves a great free tier.

If geocoding needs are enterprise-grade / you are OK with spending a bit, you should look at Mapzen, OpenCage, and now, Geocodio.

I don't understand. You are "giving back" by creating a service where you make money.

Are you publishing your source code?
