google 的 Map SDK 计费如何适用于 Android 和 Z1BDF605991920DB14EBF850820 应用程序？

Question

I am using Google Maps SDk for iOS and Android in my apps. Below are my use cases:

1. Load Map in both iOS and Android mobile Apps.
2. Draw few markers of locations received from my server.

I am not using any other Google Maps API.

Will I be billed for the above use cases?

I have tried reading Google's official billing documentation but could not understand the same.

Answer 1

If you check the billing page you will see the cost of using the Maps SDK for Android and Maps SDK for iOS

See image

As you can read it's complete free, but I'm not sure if you must do a billing account to use this API.

Answer 2

Google Maps Platform APIs usage are tracked for each Product SKU that you are using. A Google map object in Maps SDK for Android and iOS is using the Mobile Native Dynamic Maps SKU . This SKU is counted per Map Load and each map load is free.

User interactions with the map, such as panning, zooming, or switching map layers, do not generate additional map loads as well as putting markers in your map.

However, if your app is using the Dynamic Street View SKU which is counted per Panorama. (This Panorama is created when onCreate() method is called with one of StreetViewPanoramaFragment, SupportStreetViewPanoramaFragment, or StreetViewPanoramaView classes in Android or with the GMSPanoramaView object in iOS. This Panorama costs 0.014 USD.

You also need to have a valid billing account enabled in your project to use these SDKs.
