Google Maps Pricing / Costs?

Google recently has changed it’s pricing model: You now get a $200 free credit, that you can use per month. Everything else needs to be payed – in detail the Autocomplete & Geocoding service, we use to get a lat / lng from an address. You can use Google’s Map Pricing Calculator here to get a cost overview.Example:

• Maps Rendering
  => Free
• Autocomplete -> 13.000 requests per Month
  => $37
• Geocoding -> 20.000 Requests per Month
  => $100
• Subtotal: $137
• Credit: $200
• Costs: $0

Depending on how many Geocoding / Autocomplete request you receive you may need to pay.

You can turn off Autocomplete for example to save costs.
