Are there any good Webservices apart from Google one which can find me the distance between two Zip Codes?

I have

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=95050&destinations=94087&mode=bicycling&sensor=false

which is Google API. Are there any other API's that I can take a look? If yes, can anyone provide me the link for the same?

There is a very simple API that will calculate distance between two zip codes. There are also options for zipcodes within a radius and finding the lat/long and city/state. http://zipcodedistanceapi.redline13.com/
