Maps SDK for iOS Usage and Billing

  • The Maps SDK for iOS utilizes a pay-as-you-go pricing model, with costs calculated based on usage of specific SKUs (Stock Keeping Units).

  • Three primary SKUs are used for billing: Mobile Native Dynamic Maps, Dynamic Maps, and Dynamic Street View, each with its own pricing structure.

  • While mobile usage of the Maps SDK for iOS is unlimited, you can set daily quota limits for Dynamic Street View requests to manage costs.

  • You need to enable billing on your Google Cloud project and include an API key or OAuth token with all API or SDK requests to use the Maps SDK for iOS.

 Maps SDK for iOS requests generate calls to one of three SKUs depending on the type of request.
