Ouch…Yes, I’ve discussed the cost of Google API on the forum in various places before
Here is a post from @shpak.serhiy that helped me understand another more cost effective way to do distance based search as well.
My opinion is Leafy Maps by @vini_brito is one of the top plugins on the marketplace because of the value it provides in terms of savings from Google, and using that in conjunction with the method @shpak.serhiy put me onto using the Ultimate Toolkit Plugin is the most cost effective way to have a ‘map heavy’ application not let you throw all your profits into the pockets of Google.
