Questions.
How does the $1 = 10,000 Credits pricing model work?
GoogleMapsAPI.io uses a transparent record-based credit system where $1.00 = 10,000 Credits. Place search endpoints (/v1/places/search and /v1/places/nearby) cost 5 Credits per returned business record ($0.50 per 1,000 places base, or $0.20 per 1,000 places on the Business plan). Reviews and photos cost 2 Credits per record ($0.20 per 1,000 base, $0.08 per 1,000 on Business). Place details and website lead enrichment cost 20 Credits ($0.002) per profile. If a search returns 0 matching places or lead enrichment finds 0 emails/social links, you pay 0 Credits.
Should I choose a Monthly Subscription or a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) Credit Pack?
Monthly subscriptions ($29 Starter / 350k credits, $79 Growth / 1.1M credits, $199 Pro / 3.5M credits, $499 Business / 12.5M credits) include +20% to +150% bonus credits, bringing your effective cost down to $0.20 per 1,000 places. PAYG Credit Packs ($10 / 100k, $50 / 550k, $100 / 1.2M, $500 / 7.5M) have zero recurring charges and your purchased credits never expire.
How does GoogleMapsAPI.io compare to the official Google Places API ($17–$40 / 1,000 calls)?
Official Google Places API charges $32.00 per 1,000 Text Search Pro requests plus Contact ($3/1K) and Atmosphere ($5/1K) SKU surcharges, restricts each query to a maximum of 60 results (3 pages of 20), caps reviews at 5 per place, and prohibits caching or storing data for more than 30 days. GoogleMapsAPI.io starts at $0.20–$0.50 per 1,000 places (up to 98% cheaper), includes phone numbers, websites, opening hours, and coordinates in every search response, supports deep review pagination, and includes built-in website email and social link enrichment.
Am I charged when a search returns 0 results or when an API request fails?
Never. Searches that return 0 matching places cost 0 Credits. Website lead enrichment calls that discover 0 emails and 0 social links cost 0 Credits. Invalid parameters (HTTP 400), rate-limited requests (HTTP 429), and gateway errors (HTTP 5xx) also cost 0 Credits.
What are the RPM rate limits and concurrency allowances?
Free Trial accounts include 2,000 Credits and 60 RPM (2 RPS). Upgrading to any paid plan or PAYG pack unlocks high-throughput production concurrency: 300 RPM (Starter), 600 RPM (Growth), 1,200 RPM (Pro), and 3,000 RPM / 50 RPS (Business).
What payment methods are accepted?
You can top up or subscribe immediately using Cryptocurrency (USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB across Solana, Tron, Polygon, Arbitrum, BSC, and Ethereum) via NOWPayments with 0% gateway fee and an automatic +5% Bonus Credits reward. You can also configure your company legal name, billing address, and VAT / Tax ID in your dashboard for compliant billing records.
What is your refund policy?
Payments made within the last 14 days are eligible for a pro-rated refund of unused purchased credits. Promotional signup credits have no cash value.
