For details, see\n[Essentials, Pro, and Enterprise categories](/maps/billing-and-pricing/overview#pricing-categories) in\nthe **Billing and Pricing overview**.\n\nFree usage caps\n\nTo help you identify, evaluate, and test our Services, Google has replaced the\nUSD $200 monthly recurring credit with a free monthly usage\nthreshold for each Core Services SKU. The free usage threshold varies for each\ncategory. You still have access to the same services and features. However,\nGoogle is transitioning some services to [Legacy](#legacy-services) status,\ndescribed below.\n\nSee the corresponding caps by category in the following pricing\nsections:\n\n- [Pricing](/maps/billing-and-pricing/pricing)\n- [Pricing - India](/maps/billing-and-pricing/pricing-india)\n\nExpanded volume discounts\n\n**Starting March 1, 2025**, most Core Services SKUs have automatic\nusage-based volume discounts scaling to 5,000,000+ monthly billable events, an\nexpansion from 100,000+ monthly billable events prior to March 1, 2025.\n\nThis applies only to customers without a negotiated agreement with Google. No\naction is required. If you have a negotiated agreement, it will remain in\neffect. If you have an account eligible for India pricing, automatic\nvolume discount changes have already been made.\n\nExpanded automatic volume discounts will only apply to usage incurred\nstarting **March 1, 2025** and will be reflected on the next billing cycle after\nMarch 1, 2025\n\nCustomers using [legacy services](#legacy-services) must migrate to the updated\nversions of these services to receive expanded automatic volume discounts.\n\nNegotiated agreements\n\nIf you have a negotiated agreement, it will remain in effect until the end of\nthat agreement's term. The only immediate change will be the monthly free usage\nthreshold.\n\n- Starting on **September 1, 2025** , contracts eligible for renewal will be migrated to the expanded automatic volume discounts. You may be eligible for additional discounts based on Google's discretion if, for example, you have 10,000,000+ monthly billable events under at least one paid Core Services SKU. Google reserves the sole and exclusive right to determine eligibility for additional discounts.\n - Contact your Google Maps Platform representative.

The following tables show the cost\nfor 1,000 billable events (requests).\n\n| Geocoding | Free monthly amount | 1 - 100,000 | 100,001 - 500,000 | 500,001 - 1,000,000 | 1,000,001 - 5,000,000 | 5,000,000+ |\n|----------------------------|----------------------------------------|------------------|-------------------|---------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Prior to March 1, 2025 | $200 monthly recurring credit | $5.00 | $4.00 | Additional requests are charged at $4 per thousand requests. |||\n| | | 10,001 - 100,000 | 100,001 - 500,000 | 500,001 - 1,000,000 | 1,000,001 - 5,000,000 | 5,000,000+ |\n| **Starting March 1, 2025** | 10,000 free requests recurring monthly | $5.00 | $4.00 | $3.00 | $1.50 | Additional requests are charged at $0.38 per thousand requests. |\n\nExample - India\n\nAs of **August 1, 2024**, customers eligible for the lower India pricing will\nalready see this change reflected on their bill.\n\nStarting **March 1, 2025** you will have free monthly usage for each Core\nServices SKU. Once you exceed the free monthly usage, customers eligible for\nIndia pricing will be charged based on the [India price sheet](/maps/billing-and-pricing/pricing-india).\nThese changes may result in a change in the monthly bill for certain customers,\ndepending on their usage patterns.\n\nYou can estimate your bill using this [calculator](https://mapsplatform.google.com/pricing-calculator-india/). Please\ncontact our [Google Maps Platform customer care](/maps/support/care) team for any questions or\nto check if you are eligible for billing assistance.\n\n**Example of a bill increase for a customer eligible for India pricing**:\n\n- Prior to **March 1, 2025** , an India-based customer using 90,000 Geocoding (India) requests per month receives a $200 monthly recurring credit, resulting in a monthly charge of $0.\n - Starting **March 1, 2025**, this India-based customer will receive 70,000 free monthly requests for using Geocoding (India), an Essentials SKU, and will be charged for the remaining 20,000 requests, resulting in a monthly bill of $30.\n\n**Example of bill decrease for a customer eligible for India pricing**:\n\n- Prior to **March 1, 2025** , a billing account using 70,000 monthly Geocoding (India) requests and 35,000 Places API Text Search (Basic) (India) calls receives a $200 monthly credit, resulting in a monthly bill of $241.\n - Starting **March 1, 2025**, this billing account will receive 70,000 free monthly requests for using Geocoding (India), an Essentials SKU, and 35,000 free monthly calls for using Places API Text Search Pro (India) (updated SKU name), a Pro SKU, resulting in a monthly charge of $0.\n\nLegacy services\n\nGoogle is designating three services as Legacy status: Places API, Directions\nAPI, and Distance Matrix API. These services have newer versions,\nPlaces API (New) and Routes API, offering\nenhanced features, improved quality, and expanded automatic volume discounts.\n\n- Legacy services don't have new feature development and only have automatic volume discounts scaling to 100,000+ monthly billable events.\n- Effective **March 1, 2025**, you can no longer enable Legacy services.\n- For further guidance on the newer services and migration, refer to the [Legacy products and features](/maps/legacy) guide.\n\nI am using a Legacy service. What are the implications for me?\n\nCustomers using Legacy services may continue to use them. However, Google\nencourages migrating to the newer versions for enhanced features, improved\nquality, and expanded automatic volume discounts.\n\nDo the expanded automatic volume discount changes apply to Legacy services?\n\nNo, Legacy services are only eligible for automatic volume discounts scaling\nto 100,000+ monthly billable events.\n\nTo receive the expanded automatic volume discounts, migrate to\nthe updated version of the service.\n\nFor customers with a negotiated agreement, refer to the [corresponding\nsection](https://mapsplatform.google.com/pricing-calculator-india/).\n\nWhen will Legacy status Services be no longer available?\n\nWhile Google envisions that Legacy services will eventually be retired in the\ncoming years, there is no date yet for when this will happen.\n\nSubject to the [Google Maps Platform Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms?e=48754805) (section\n9) Deprecation Policy, Google will provide at least a 12-month notice prior to\nthe decommission of the services."]]
