When to use which?

PurgoMalum is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. US Street Address works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. US Street Address supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
