Depends

Should I use Radar?

Location Infrastructure and Intelligence - radar.com

Buy if you run a consumer app needing geofencing, maps, or location-based fraud checks at real volume. Skip it if you just need a map embed or store locator — a free Google Maps embed or plugin does that job.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~11 public sources; many 'Radar' search hits were unrelated products (Stripe Radar, weather apps, retail RFID RADAR) and excluded. Customer names and pricing were not disclosed in usable sources.
