Reduce your Google geocoding costs

Are you spending too much on geocoding?
If you are using only Google, the answer is almost certainly YES.

For many use cases open data will meet your needs just as well.

Use our API to completely replace Google, or in combination with Google.
Customers typically cut their geocoding costs by 80-90%.

- OpenCage pricing assumes a monthly subscription, but is even more affordable via an annual subscription. We also offer one-time plans.
- Google pricing taken from this page and assumes full use of the $200 monthly credit.
- Full details of OpenCage pricing.
- All prices are in USD, but at OpenCage we gladly accept payment in many other currencies.
- Unexpected surges will result in additional costs with Google, but do not with OpenCage. We win by being a stable, long-term partners for our clients, not by running a meter when they suddenly need a bit more.

Using open data has many benefits, doing it via OpenCage means one less thing for us to maintain.
