Google Maps expands free usage for developers worldwide on all products

Google Maps on Tuesday announced that it is expanding free usage limits for developers across the world, granting them free access to each of its products up to a monthly limit from March 1, 2025.

The products include maps, routes, places, and environment APIs and SDKs. The move is aimed at encouraging developers, so they can build more for free.

In India, this change means that instead of the fixed $200 monthly credit that Google Maps offer today, developers can soon access up to $6,800 (over Rs 5,70,000) worth of free usage every month, distributed across all products.
