Does anyone know of a good alternative to Google Places Autocomplete API? Our app makes 25k requests per day. They had a free 150k limit per day, but now it seems like we are going from $0 to $1,800 per month, and this is not a core feature of our app. I wouldn't mind paying a couple hundred dollars for it, but this price is almost what we pay for our whole infrastructure. The worst part is that we didn't get any notice and I learned about this increase here on HN.
- spalt 8y agoCheck out Azure Maps: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/azure-maps/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/azure-maps/ I believe they have an autocomplete component.... I was investigating the Google Traffic API for an app I was working on just as they were making this change. They went from something like 10,000 free requests a day (which would have been plenty for my purposes) to 0 free requests a day. "Don't be evil" my ass. Anyway, the Azure Maps (which uses TomTom data) is much more generous.
- nuschk 8y agoI'm pretty much looking for the same. AFAIK, autocomplete is provided by bing/azure, mapbox, tomtom, HERE and geocode.earth (I might also be missing a few). Also, mapfit (a pretty young participant, it seems) will have it "in a month", they say. Edit: Added geocode.earth.
