How the Places API is billed
The Places API (New) and Places API uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model. The Google Maps Platform APIs and SDKs are billed by SKU. Usage is tracked for each SKU, and any API or SDK may have more than one product SKU. Cost is calculated by:
Use our Pricing and Usage calculator to estimate your usage cost per API or SDK. For qualifying Google Maps Platform SKUs, a $200 USD Google Maps Platform credit is available each month for each billing account. This credit is automatically applied to the qualifying SKUs.

About field masks
For Place Details (New),
Nearby Search (New), and
Text Search (New), use the FieldMask
header in
API requests to specify the list of fields to return in the response. You are
then billed at the highest SKU applicable to your request. That means if you
select fields in both the (Basic) SKU and the (Advanced) SKU, you are billed
based on the (Advanced) SKU.
Using field masking is a good design practice to ensure that you don't request unnecessary data, which helps to avoid unnecessary processing time and billing charges.
About Autocomplete (New) sessions
An Autocomplete (New) session includes one or more Autocomplete (New) requests, and a Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request. The same session token is passed to the Autocomplete (New) request and to the subsequent Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request.
A session starts with the first Autocomplete (New) request. A Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request is then made when the user has selected one of the Autocomplete (New) suggestions. If a session is abandoned, meaning no Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request is made, Autocomplete (New) requests are charged as if no session token was provided.
After a user has selected a place (meaning a Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request is made), you must start a new session using a new session token.
A session token is good for one session and cannot be used for more than one session. If you reuse a session token, the session is considered invalid and the requests are charged as if no session token was provided.
SKU: Autocomplete Requests
An Autocomplete Requests SKU is charged for each request to the Autocomplete (New) API that does not include a session token.
It is also charged if you use session tokens and either:
- Terminate the sessions by a single request to Place Details (New) that
requests any fields defined by the SKU: Place Details (Location Only).
- Each Autocomplete (New) request, up to 12 requests, is billed using the SKU: Autocomplete Requests.
- Each subsequent Autocomplete (New) request is billed using the SKU: Autocomplete Session Usage.
- Abandon the session or end the session by making a call to the SKU: Place Details (IDs Only). All Autocomplete (New) requests are then billed using the SKU: Autocomplete Requests.

Pricing for the Places API
About Autocomplete sessions
An Autocomplete session includes some Autocomplete requests (to retrieve suggestions on a place as the user types), and at most one Places Details request (to retrieve details about the place selected by the user). The same session token is passed to the Autocomplete and the subsequent Place Detail request. A session starts with the first Autocomplete request (which typically happens when the user starts typing). A Places Details call is made when the user has selected one of the Autocomplete suggestions. If a user does not select a suggestion, no Places Details call is made.
After a user has selected a place (ie, a Places Details call is made), you must start a new session using a new session token.
Autocomplete sessions can be generated from the following APIs:
- The Places API Place Autocomplete service or the Maps JavaScript API’s Places Autocomplete service. You need to design your application to provide session tokens (you may need to change your existing code).
- The Maps JavaScript API’s Autocomplete widget. Session-based billing is automatically enabled on those widgets, without any code change required.
A session token is good for one user session and should not be used for more than one user session. If you reuse a session token, the session is considered invalid and the requests are charged as if no session token was provided.
The Autocomplete requests and the Places Details requests using sessions are billed on different SKUs.
About Places Data SKUs
The three Places Data SKUs are: Basic Data, Contact Data, and Atmosphere Data.One or more Data SKUs are triggered for:
- Android: each request to
fetchPlace()
orfindCurrentPlace()
- iOS: each call to
fetchPlaceFromPlaceID:
orfindPlaceLikelihoodsFromCurrentLocationWithPlaceFields:
- Web service: each Places request depending on the fields specified in the request
Data SKUs are always charged in addition to the base SKU for the request triggering them. For example, a Place Details request including Basic Data fields will be charged both under the Basic Data SKU and the Place Details SKU.
For the web service, these Places APIs calls support specifying the data fields to return:
For the web service, these Places APIs calls DO NOT support specifying the returned fields. These calls always return all the Places data, charging the three Places Data SKUs in addition to the charge for each API request:
SKU: Basic Data
Using the fields parameter in your Place Details or Find Place request, you can limit the response to only those fields specified. Fields in the Basic category are included in the base cost of the Places request and do not result in any additional charge. The Basic Data SKU is triggered when any of these fields are requested:

Manage your cost of use
To manage your cost of use of the Places API or to meet the demands of your production traffic, set daily quota limits on all requests to any API. Daily quotas are reset at midnight Pacific time.
To view or change quota limits for the Places API:
- In the Cloud Console, open the Google Maps Platform Quotas page.
- Click the APIs drop-down and select the Places API.
- To view the quota limits, scroll down to the Requests
card.
A table lists the quota names and limits. - To change a quota limit, click the Edit icon for that limit.
In the dialog that appears, in the Quota Limit field, enter the preferred billable daily quota limit (up to the quota limit, if any, specified by Google) and select Save.
If your API usage reaches your billable quota limit on any given day, your application will not be able to access the API for the remainder of that day.
