Primarily just maps; real estate sector. The $20k is a ballpark for one project, another would add another ~$5k a month.
It's a good motivation to improve our usage of their APIs and I'm sure that I can bring down those cost estimates (by reducing API usage overall and by switching some to use the static map API - although the caps on resolution gave us problems with that in the past).
- lukeqsee 8y agoThat makes sense; well, if you wish, please reach out to me at luke@stadiamaps.com We have a lot of customers in real estate, and would love to set you up with something that would be significantly less than $25k. These situations are why we started the company. :) I think our tiers work very well for the real estate space overall.
- elyobo 8y agoI'll have a look, thanks. Your pricing looks much more reasonable - I suspect you're going to be seeing a large spike in demand. Initial work on reducing load looks very promising though (lazy loading only when users scroll as far as the map on property pages, pooling map instances/dom elements and reusing them across a React app so that they're not recreated) - both things I really should have been doing already anyway. I guess that's part of the motivation for the change - even if I don't pay anything, I'm now costing Google less.
