Costs Google Maps API key

Post by Jorus »

If I understood it well, to implement a google map, you need an API key/code from Google and using one is not for free.

Does anyone know how to calculate the price for each showing of a google maps using this API code? If I can make an estimation of the costs I can decide whether this is interesting or not, since I want to use many of them for a guide

the pricing for each API is calculated based on usage. The pay-as-you-go pricing model is used where you pay only for what you use. There are no commitments, termination fees, or usage limits. The first $200 usage every month is free of charge.

You can learn more about the pricing and volume discounts available on the Google Maps Platform pricing page

Note:
Also there is an alternative to google maps which is leafletjs. WWB has the extension viewtopic.php?t=96453
