Google Geocoding API cost: how much would you pay?
Google bills geocoding by volume tier, so the cost per request falls as your volume grows. Here is how the tiers work, four worked examples, and a free calculator that runs in your browser.
The tiers
Figures read on 18 October 2026 on the Google Maps Platform pricing page (developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/pricing). Google changes prices: verify them at the source before relying on this page. [À VÉRIFIER : relire la page de prix de Google le jour de la publication.]
| Monthly requests | Price per 1,000 |
|---|---|
| First 10,000 | Free |
| 10,001 to 100,000 | $5 |
| 100,001 to 500,000 | $4 |
| 500,001 to 1 million | $3 |
| 1 million to 5 million | $1.50 |
| Above 5 million | $0.38 |
Worked examples
Each tier applies only to the requests inside it. In US dollars, before tax and discounts:
| Monthly requests | Calculation | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 50,000 | 40,000 × $5 / 1,000 | $200 |
| 200,000 | 90,000 × $5 + 100,000 × $4, per 1,000 | $850 |
| 1,000,000 | $450 + $1,600 + $1,500 | $3,550 |
| 5,000,000 | $3,550 + 4,000,000 × $1.50 / 1,000 | $9,550 |
The same volumes at Addrova
Addrova is priced by plan: free up to 30,000 requests a month, Starter at €49 a month, Pro at €199 a month, enterprise on quote. Address repair is billed in addition, on success only. At an assumed rate of €0.92 per dollar:
| Monthly requests | Google (estimate) | Addrova |
|---|---|---|
| 50,000 | about €184 | Starter, €49 |
| 200,000 | about €782 | Pro, €199 |
| 1,000,000 | about €3,266 | Pro, €199 |
| 5,000,000 | about €8,786 | On quote |
The plan volumes used here (Starter up to 100,000, Pro up to 1 million) are a working assumption. [À VÉRIFIER : volumes des offres, voir /pricing]
What the comparison leaves out
- Storage. Google's terms limit how long coordinates may be cached; Addrova allows permanent storage. Re-geocoding the same addresses is a cost that does not appear in the tiers above. See store geocoding results legally.
- Other Google SKUs and negotiated discounts. Large customers often negotiate.
- Quality on your addresses. Price means little if the match rate is lower. Test a sample of your own addresses before deciding.
- Coverage. Addrova targets Europe on official data; Google covers the world.
FAQ
Is the free quota per month? In the figures read above, yes: the first 10,000 requests each month.
Does reverse geocoding cost the same? This page covers forward geocoding. Check the pricing page for other SKUs.
