What Placer.ai is

Placer.ai provides location intelligence and analytics to help organizations understand places, brands, and markets. Its platform offers insights into offline visitation patterns, trade areas, audience behavior, and demographics. Users can explore property, chain, and industry reports or create custom reports in the web platform. Placer lists solutions for retail, commercial real estate, civic organizations, consumer packaged goods, entertainment, advertising, finance, restaurants, and healthcare. Its API can provide aggregated Placer data for third-party applications, custom dashboards, internal reporting, and competitive analysis. The integration catalog includes the Placer API, ArcGIS Pro Toolbox, Snowflake, and Exabel. A free plan offers a small display of the full platform and excludes some features; customized subscription pricing is available on request. API access requires a paying Placer account with the API add-on, and each account has its own usage plan and weekly quota. Placer says paid subscribers receive a dedicated Customer Success Manager as part of the subscription. It also says data partners must obtain opt-in or opt-out consent in accordance with applicable law. The company launched its location analytics platform in 2018.
