Seems good for smaller businesses, that were left in the middle of nowhere after Google’s price increase.
For everyone else, this looks like 2x price increase to me.<p>Before you had 50k free APIs, then 0,5$/1k requests (regardless the API type).
Now you have 100k free APIs, different (and higher) prices per different API ($0.45-$2/1k for the biggest tear).<p>Just for comparison, I’ll just list the most discounted prices:<p>Geocoding (temporary, no saving results)<p>0.5-1M: $0.60/1k reqs<p>1-5M: $0.45/1k reqs<p>Directions:<p>0.5-1M: $1.60/1k reqs<p>1-5M: $1.2/1k reqs<p>Mobile SDK<p>Before: 250 or 500 free monthly users, after $0.5/500 MAUs<p>After: 25k free MAUs, but(!!)<p>125-250k: $3.2/1k reqs<p>250k-1,25M: $2.4/1k reqs<p>Web<p>No more map views, switching to map loads. I’m not sure whether they have time duration set for this too (could be 8hrs).<p>Before: 50k free map views, after that $0.5/1k views.<p>Afrer: 50k free map loads, after that:
200k-1M: $3
Their new pricing is listed here - <a href="https://www.mapbox.com/pricing/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mapbox.com/pricing/</a><p>I don't know what their previous prices were, but iirc, Map Loads for Web previously got 25000-35000 free loads/month. I have never come close to maxing out even the old free tier.<p>I wonder if this new pricing is at all related to (sort of recent) the pricing changes from Google Maps?
