What is the cost of using the Google Maps API to create routes?

Google Maps API free is only for public app with limits of 2500 requests from webservices and 25 pageviews.

For any internal application, Google understands that it is in production, so it should contract the license even if it is within the limits of Free.

I recommend developers align with TOS (term services) because Google Compliance takes an hour to complete, and I've seen many applications being hacked in addition to having to pay for what was used illegally.

I recommend MAPLINK to acquire the API link

For me, I was the only one who was able to clarify all technical issues and not just force an API sale. Besides being the largest partner of Google MAps in Latin America and with that practice better prices. What other resale is just a reseller of half a dozen vendors wanting to get along.

There is a free version of the API.

According to the documentation , the differences of the free and paid version are as follows:

Free API Users:

• 2,500 route requests per day.
• Up to 8 reference points on each request. Landmarks are not available for public transportation routes.
• 2 requests per second.

Google Maps API for Business Users:

• 100,000 route requests per day.
• Up to 23 reference points for each request. Landmarks are not available for public transportation routes.
• 10 requests per second.

As for the price issue, I believe you have to contact with them to make a quote.

Their default value is $ 15,000 / year.

Edit

Google has changed its pricing policy this year, and everyone can enjoy the same table: link

The good news is that everyone gets $ 200 free monthly, which should include many small projects.

If you just want to use the google maps API in your app then you do not have to pay anything.
