When to pick which
Pick geocode.net for US addresses when you want to keep the results, want appends without a per-field surcharge, or are doing volume: a million lookups is $495 metered or $299 unlimited.
Pick Geocodio if you also need Canada today.
Pick Google when you need worldwide coverage or Places search, and your terms allow its caching rules.
Pick the Census geocoder for occasional, non-commercial batches where speed, uptime and support do not matter. It is free and the data behind it is the same TIGER/Line street ranges we use for interpolation; we add rooftop address points on top.
Switching
The Google migration guide maps every request and response field. From Geocodio the shape is close enough that most clients change the base URL and the key header.
