Can you help me figure out the cost of the API?

Question

Google Maps

I want to make in my android application search for a place using Google (autocomplete, suggestion).

To use it, you need to pay for a license, but the number of users I have is negligible.

I found the following page on the site: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing?hl=ru

The very first paragraph is the phrase: get $200 in free usage for ... (Not a quote)

And at the bottom of the price.

That is, if the payment is less than $ 200 per month, then you can use it for free, since the balance (free money) will be restored in the new month?

Answer 1

Yes, 200$ of free limit will be given every month. It used to be $300.
But google will still ask you to link a card to your account and check it by debiting and returning $ 1.
And if you exceed the limit of $ 200, then google will deduct money from this card (if, of course, they are on it at the time of the debit attempt).
