Pricing
Public rate card · half of HERE

Maps, routing and search at half of HERE's list price.

Every number on this site is HERE Technologies' published rate divided by two. Same free allowances, same response shapes, no sales call to find out what a million requests would cost you.

  • 30 000 free geocodes a month
  • No card to start
  • Every rate published, all ten services
  • Response shapes compatible with HERE

The whole argument, in one table

Their list price, halved. Nothing else changed.

Free allowances are identical to HERE's — the discount is on price, not on limits. Volume steps are theirs too, halved step for step.

HERE list prices quoted from public sources and dated on the pricing page. HERE raised its Base Plan and pay-per-transaction prices by about 6% on 1 April 2026; this card already reflects that.

Two ways in

A key in a minute, or a contract with an SLA.

For developers

Run a call in the sandbox on this page, take the snippet, add a key. Billing starts after the free tier, and the rate you pay is on the pricing page before you sign anything.

  • Sandbox with no signup
  • SDKs for five languages
  • OpenAPI 3.1 spec and Postman collection
  • Free tier that does not expire
Start with the quickstart

For platform and fleet teams

Committed volume, invoiced billing, a signed DPA and an SLA with credits. The same published rate card applies — the commitment buys terms and support, not a different price list.

  • 99.9% availability SLA with credits
  • EU or US data residency
  • DPA, subprocessor list, SOC 2 roadmap
  • Support with a 4-hour first response

Why this reads differently

What a location vendor usually hides.

Four things HERE makes you ask for. None of them are a secret worth keeping.

  1. 01

    The price, in full

    HERE's pricing page is a sign-up wall: to learn a per-request rate you register or you contact sales. Every rate here is on the pricing page, per service, per volume step.

  2. 02

    A price policy, not a promotion

    The discount is a published rule — half of HERE's list, tracked as it changes. When they raise prices, ours move with them and stay at half. When they cut, so do we.

  3. 03

    What actually happens in production

    Latency per region, uptime, every API change dated in a changelog, and a deprecation policy with a 12-month floor. Operational facts belong on the marketing site.

  4. 04

    How to leave

    Field-compatible responses and a parameter map for HERE, Google and Mapbox. Migration guides work in both directions — including away from us.

Your bill, not a range

Move the sliders. That is the invoice.

Free allowances are applied first, then the volume ladder, marginally. The HERE column uses their published list price for the same call volume.

Migration

Change the host, keep the query string.

Responses carry the same field names and nesting as HERE's, so most integrations move by swapping a base URL and a key. Where a parameter differs, the mapping table says so.

  • Base URL and auth header swap, no SDK rewrite
  • Parameter-by-parameter tables for HERE, Google and Mapbox
  • Dual-run mode: send a share of traffic to both and diff the responses
  • Flexible polyline, GeoJSON and MVT in and out

Operations

Six regions, published numbers.

Latency is measured at the edge of each region against the geocoding endpoint. Modelled targets are labelled as such until a region reaches general availability.

For agents, not just apps

The API an LLM can call without a wrapper.

Every endpoint ships a JSON Schema tool definition, the docs are served as plain text at /llms.txt, and there is a hosted MCP server. An agent can plan a route without a human writing glue code first.

MCP server

mcp.apinavi.com — endpoints exposed as typed tools with the same auth.

llms.txt

The whole reference as clean text, no navigation chrome, no JavaScript.

Tool schemas

JSON Schema per endpoint, generated from the same spec as the SDKs.

Questions that decide it

The awkward ones, answered.

How can it be half the price?

Two structural reasons. The map data comes from open sources plus commercial feeds we license per region rather than owning end to end, and there is no field sales organisation — the rate card does the selling. The trade-off is honest: we do not sell embedded automotive-grade HD maps, and the deepest coverage tiers stay HERE's.

Is the free tier smaller than HERE's?

No. Free allowances match theirs service by service: 30 000 geocoding, 30 000 map tiles, 5 000 routing, 2 500 matrix, 500 tour optimisations. The 50% applies to the paid rates.

What happens when HERE changes its prices?

The rate card is derived from theirs by a single constant, and the page states the date it was last reconciled. Their April 2026 increase of about 6% is already reflected. If they cut a rate, ours drops to half of the new one.

How compatible is it really?

Response field names, nesting and error shapes follow HERE's documented payloads for geocoding, routing, matrix, isolines, traffic and places. Where behaviour differs — mostly around scoring and truck attributes — the migration guide lists the difference instead of glossing over it.

What is not as good?

Three things. Coverage of indoor venues and lane-level HD data is narrower. There is no embedded automotive stack for offline head units. And the company is young: the SLA carries credits, but not a decade of references.

Can I run the sandbox before signing up?

That is what the panel above is. It returns documented response shapes from a fixture set, labelled as sandbox data, with no key and no account.

Read the rate card before you talk to anyone.

It is the same page a customer on a committed contract sees. If the numbers do not work, nothing else about the product matters.
