How much will Google Maps API Cost?
For most customers, very likely nothing at all.-
Google provides $200 per month free usage of their APIs, and this equates to approximately 28,000 loads of the google maps.
To put this into perspective, the API key that ALL of our customers were using was utilising approximately 80,000 requests on average per month. So it is unlikely that one single customer would use more than 28,000 requests.
