Pricing
Flat plans. Hard caps. No overages.

The Google math, honestly.
Google's Places text-search SKUs run on the order of $17–$35 per 1,000 calls, so 100,000 searches a month lands in the four figures before credits. Starter is $19 flat for that volume, and Pro is $99 for 1 million with a hard cap. Verify against current Google Maps Platform pricing before procurement — the gap survives the fine print, and the cost calculator runs the tiered math for your exact volume. The other difference is shape: we're narrower, Overture-backed, and built for predictable backend search. If you need autocomplete, tiles, or routing, compare the platforms first.
Pricing questions.
Short answers to the questions that decide whether the flat plan works for your workload.
What happens when I hit my cap?
The API returns a 402 and stops serving until your monthly reset. There is no overage tier and no surprise charge. You upgrade when you're ready, not because a bill forced you to.

Do I need a credit card for the free plan?
No. Sign up, create a key, and make 10,000 calls a month for free.
Can I store or cache the results?
Yes. The data is Overture-backed open data, so you can cache, store, and ship the results your product receives. That is a deliberate difference from providers whose terms limit caching or storage.
Can I use it commercially?
Yes. It's built on open Overture data. See the docs for the attribution details.
