Hey everyone,
Quick question: *is the google maps api free* to use for small projects? I’m working on a personal app and wanna integrate maps, but I’ve heard mixed things about pricing.
Some say it’s totally free, others mention hidden costs after certain limits. Like, what’s the deal with the $200 monthly credit? Does that cover basic usage, or will I hit paywalls fast?
Also, what counts as "usage"? Just loading the map, or do directions/searches add up too?
If anyone’s got experience with this, pls share! Trying to avoid surprises down the road lol.
Thanks in advance!
