Am I locked into a long-term contract?
No.
Are there any setup fees?
No.
Are there any hidden fees?
No.
Do I need to provide a credit card to sign-up for the free trial?
No.
How long can I use the free trial?
As long as you need
for testing.
That is what the free trial is there for.
If you decide to use our service in production you should become a
customer. Please note: inactive free trial accounts are deleted
after six months.
Can I just use multiple free trial accounts?
No,
don't do that.
The free trial is a way to test our service - do not use it
for anything mission critical. If you need
production level reliability, become a customer.
Will I need to change API key after I become a customer?
No, you can keep using your free trial key. Or use a new key
if you prefer.
Subscription customers can have multiple active keys.
How does OpenCage pricing compare with Google Maps geocoding pricing?
Can I specify a different e-mail for billing matters and payment
confirmations?
Yes, you can have the payment confirmation go to one or more other
e-mail addresses, for example your accounting department.
Billing matters do not have to go to the e-mail you used when you
registered.
Can I just send you a file, and you do the geocoding for me?
In that case we would have to charge you for our most valuable
resource: our engineering time, which is expensive.
If you don't have the ability to use the API yourself please see our
Excel
and
Google Sheets
tutorials. Another option is to work with our partners at
Clean Spreadsheets
who will gladly do the geocoding for you.
Will prices rise in the future?
We have not changed our prices since 2015 and have no plans to
do so. Nevertheless, we are happy to commit that if we ever were to
raises prices all existing customers will continue to pay the old
