Some businesses that use Google Maps API to help customers find them can say farewell to the free service. Google recently made a change to its Google Maps API terms of service. Starting next year,  Google will charge $4 per 1,000 map loads on websites and apps where traffic exceeds 25,000 map loads per day.

Google Maps API will remain free for sites that don’t exceed those limits. Web developers also have the option of buying a Premier licence for $10,000+ which includes unlimited map access, advanced geocoding tools, and tech support.

If you exceed the limits and haven’t set up a payment system or purchased a Premier license, your map will not be shut down. However, a “warning may be shown on your map and a Maps API Premier sales manager may contact you to discuss your licensing options,” according to the Google Maps FAQ.

Developers who don’t feel like forking over money for map service can use OpenStreetMap, which is similar to Google Maps and free.
