The project I am working on uses google places autocomplete to help users to input POIs and addresses. This works ok but we want to filter the autocomplete results by particular areas which we define in polygons.
As google does not send the latitude and longitude in the response it is not possible to use their api. Of course we could send a second request to retrieve this data but it doesn't seem like a good solution both performance and data usage wise.
I have looked into the foursquare search api. This works ok but the support for addresses is poor, the api is mostly based on POIs.
Are there any alternatives to google places that return both addresses and POIs?

The autocomplete request is available at no charge, and the subsequent Place Details call gets charged based on regular Place Details pricing. A Place Details request generates Data SKUs (Basic, Contact, and/or Atmosphere) – depending on the fields that are specified in the request.
Looking around into options myself at the moment. You might want to give Pelias a go. Main reason I'm looking away from Google Places is due to the licensing restrictions.
