I am going to build an enterprise iOS app with map features. Considering using google maps sdk. However, I found that there are some limitation on the google maps api. If the traffic is high, google will charge some fee. But i dont know is it apply on the iOS API or not. Here is the link: https://developers.google.com/maps/faq
Did someone tried to use google map sdk for iOS with a large user traffic? Is it free or charged? Thank you!
The Maps SDK for iOS uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model.
You won't be charged until your usage exceeds $200 in a month. Note that the Maps Embed API, Maps SDK for Android, and Maps SDK for iOS currently have no usage limits and are at no charge (usage of the API or SDKs is not applied against your $200 monthly credit).
All Maps Embed API requests are available at no charge with unlimited usage.
Google does not charge you to use the Google Maps app. Because Google Maps might use your phone or tablet's data connection, your mobile service provider might charge you for your data usage.
The usage limits don't apply to the mobile APIs, see here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#usage_apis
... native Maps APIs for mobile platforms such as Android and iOS are not affected.
Note though that if you're developing an enterprise app which is not available to the public, then it may not be allowed, see here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#tos_commercial
However, not all commercial uses are allowed. For example, if your site meets any of the following criteria you must purchase the appropriate Google Maps API for Business license:
- Your site is only accessible within your company or on your intranet.
