Frequently asked questions
How much does the Google Maps API cost?
Google bills separately for each product, with map loads, geocoding, routing, and Places each metered on its own per-request rate. A high-traffic app or website can run into tens of thousands of dollars a month. Radar prices by volume tier, which makes the monthly cost predictable before you ship.
Is the Google Maps API free?
Google Maps Platform gives you a recurring monthly credit, and usage above that credit is billed per request. Once an app passes the free allotment, costs climb with every map load, geocode, and route call. Radar offers a more affordable alternative to Google Maps Platform, with pricing based on volume tiers so your bill doesn’t move with traffic spikes.
What does Radar do that Google Maps does not?
Radar adds geofencing, real-time location tracking, location verification, fraud prevention, and geo-compliance tools on top of the standard maps and geocoding APIs. Google Maps Platform stops at maps, search, and routing. The extra layers are why teams in retail, fintech, and logistics run Radar alongside or instead of Google.
Does Google Maps offer geofencing?
Google Maps Platform has no managed geofencing product. Android exposes a device-side Geofencing API, but you build and run the infrastructure yourself. Radar ships geofencing as a managed service with entry and exit events, server-side rules, and on-device monitoring.
