Pricing / Billing FAQ
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?
We're much more affordable and customer-friendly (no surge pricing).
Here's
a detailed pricing comparison with numbers.
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
prices.
What about VAT?
All prices are inclusive of any applicable VAT. We are
a German business, our VAT number is DE323788688. You will receive
a valid VAT invoice by e-mail for each purchase.
What will my invoice or proof of purchase look like?
For each purchase you will receive a pdf invoice by e-mail. You can
specify who receives the mail. You can
download an example payment confirmation here.
We can add whatever tax code your country requires.
You can access old invoices in your account dashboard anytime.
What form of payments do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, billing is done via
payment processor
Stripe
(See detailed security information).
We never see or store your credit card number.
After you stop being a customer you can, with a single click, delete
your payment information.
In some European countries we also accept other bank debit payment
methods for one-time purchases.
As part of our relationship with Stripe, we contribute 1% of the revenue
they process for us
to fund next-generation carbon removal technologies
(details).
For large and medium annual subscriptions, we can invoice you.
We are working on supporting other payment methods.
If paying by credit card is stopping you from becoming a
customer please get in touch and we will find a solution.
What sort of SLA can you offer?
We pride ourselves on our reliability. Over the last
year the service has had 99.9% uptime. We use independent,
3rd-party monitoring
to measure uptime of our site and API, have a look at
our recent performance.
If you have some particularly demanding requirements
please see the details of our
enterprise offering.
We are here to help.
I need a contract or something similar to get internal purchasing
approval.
Upon request we can gladly supply a service description that meets
your needs to any prospective Medium, Large, or Enterprise
subscription customer.
Have more questions?
No problem. Please see the
general FAQ
or
contact us.
Prefer to talk with a person? Great, please
schedule a time that works for you.
Subscriptions
What if I go over my daily limit?
As a subscription customer, when you reach your
limit we do ... nothing.
Everything keeps working, there is
no additional surge or usage based pricing.
Our limits are "soft". If you
need more requests on a given day, that is fine, you can
keep geocoding. If you cross the limit repeatedly then the
following month we will ask you to move to the next higher tier.
Can I downgrade or cancel my plan if I no longer need so much?
Yes, you can switch whenever you like, for any reason. You'll still
have full access until the end of the current billing period.
What if I forget to cancel my subscription?
Please get in touch with us. As long as you have not been using
the service excessively we will gladly refund your most recent
billing period.
We do not win by tricking you, we win by being a stable,
dependable, long-term partner for our clients.
What do we mean by "month"?
Your month begins on the day you purchase and the next month is
billed on the same day the following month. As an example, if you
become a customer on February 19th, your card will next be billed
on March 19th.
One-time purchases
How does one-time pricing work?
You can purchase a Small, Medium, or Large plan, depending on
your needs. You can then use those requests as needed.
What is the difference between purchasing a subscription
and purchasing a one-time plan?
There is absolutely no difference in the quality or speed of the
results.
There are several differences:
A. Subscription customers do not have hard limits, they can
go beyond the daily limit whenever they need to (please see above).
B. Because they will be using our service over a longer period of
time we offer subscription customers the ability to do things
like set up
IP restriction
and to
set a CORS header.
What happens when I reach my one-time limit?
Once you have used up your requests your account will reset
to the free trial.
How can I see how many requests I have made?
Each API response will return the number of requests you
have remaining. Please see the details in
the rate-limiting section of the documentation.
Do bad requests or requests with no results count?
Yes, every request counts as it generates work for us.
Please test first with the free trial and make sure you
understand how our API works before you start geocoding at high
volume.
I bought a one-time plan, but realize now I need a subscription.
What should I do?
No problem, please get in touch with us and we will transition you to
a subscription and apply a credit equivalent to the unused
portion of your one-time plan.
