Google Maps Platform: Free Usage and Flexible Pricing Options
Free Monthly Usage Limit
The Google Maps Platform offers a generous free tier that allows you to make up to 28,500 map loads per month at no cost. This makes it an ideal solution for developers and businesses that need to integrate maps into their applications or websites without incurring any upfront expenses.
Pay-as-You-Go Pricing
Once you exceed the free usage limit, you will only be charged for the additional usage on a pay-as-you-go basis. The pricing scales to fit your needs, with three volume-based tiers:
- Tier 1: $0.005 per 1,000 map loads
- Tier 2: $0.003 per 1,000 map loads
- Tier 3: $0.002 per 1,000 map loads
You can look up individual product SKUs here to determine the pricing for specific services.
To estimate your usage cost per API or SDK, you can use the Pricing and Usage calculator. For qualifying Google Maps Platform SKUs, there is a $200 USD commitment per month.
The Google Maps Platform uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model, which means you can scale your usage up or down as needed. This flexibility allows you to optimize your costs and avoid overpaying for unused services.
Note: Specified rate limits are not guaranteed, and actual capacity may vary.
