Free Tier Value
This free tier is a public, always-available map style offering with no stated usage cap, signup, or credit-card friction, so it behaves like an uncapped free service rather than a limited trial. Because it provides the core styles directly and there is no paid plan shown on the page to benchmark against, the practical monthly value is modest but clearly above zero; a conservative estimate is about $1/month.
What's included in the free tier
- Access to Toner map styles, including standard, labels, lines, background, lite, dark, and blacklite.
- Access to Terrain map styles, including standard, labels, lines, and background.
- Access to Watercolor map style with raster effect washes and paper texture.
- Includes map attribution requirements for Stadia Maps, Stamen Design, OpenMapTiles, and OpenStreetMap contributors.
