HERE Maps API pricing

Map rendering is included in the 30,000/month Base free tier. At scale, vector map tiles start from $0.088 per 1,000 — a fraction of raster costs — so embedding interactive maps stays cheap even at millions of loads.

HERE Routing API pricing

Routing transactions draw from your 5,000/month free allowance, then bill pay-as-you-grow on volume tiers. Higher monthly request counts unlock lower per-1,000 rates — we model your real traffic in the quote.

HERE Geocoding API pricing

HERE gives 30,000 free geocoding transactions per month, then charges from $0.88 per 1,000 (dropping to $0.70 from 5–10M). For comparison, Google Maps charges around $50 per 10,000 with a far smaller free tier.

HERE Matrix Routing API pricing

Many-to-many distance and time matrices are a Base Plan capability (not available on Limited), billed on volume tiers. It's the efficient way to price large origin/destination grids for dispatch and logistics.

HERE Traffic API pricing

Real-time and historical traffic is part of the Base free tier, then volume-tiered. Blend it into routing to get ETAs that reflect live conditions without a separate contract.

HERE Tour Planning API pricing

Fleet route optimization is a Base Plan product with waypoint sequencing from $34.98. For multi-vehicle fleets, asset-based (per-vehicle) pricing is often far cheaper than transaction billing — we help you pick.

    API mix

    Geocoding, routing and maps each have different rates.

    Volume

    Higher monthly requests unlock lower per-unit price.

    Commitment

    Annual contracts price better than pay-as-you-go.

    Model

    Transaction-based vs asset-based (per-vehicle) — we help you pick the cheaper one.

    Frequently asked questions.

    HERE pricing is based on three things: which APIs you use, your monthly call volume, and contract length. There are two main models — transaction-based pricing (per API call, typical for SaaS teams and platforms) and asset-based pricing (per tracked asset per month, ideal for fleets). Through Placematic, you get pass-through HERE Gold Partner pricing with no hidden markups.

    Yes — and the free allowance depends on the product. HERE Geocoding & Search includes 30,000 free transactions per month, Matrix Routing 2,500, and Tour Planning 500. Routing draws from a 5,000 transactions per month free tier. Above the free tier, you only pay for what you use, and volume lowers the rate.

    HERE Routing draws from the 5,000 transactions per month free tier, then bills pay-as-you-grow on volume tiers — higher monthly request counts unlock lower per-1,000 rates. Partner pricing through Placematic is typically below list. For high-volume fleets, asset-based (per-vehicle) pricing is often far cheaper than transaction billing.

    After a free tier of 30,000 transactions per month, HERE geocoding is priced from $0.88 per 1,000 requests up to 5 million, and $0.70 per 1,000 between 5 and 10 million. For comparison, Google Maps charges around $5 per 1,000 — several times more.

    For geocoding, HERE list pricing is roughly 5 times cheaper than Google Maps, with a far larger free tier. Partner pricing through Placematic goes lower still, which is why geocoding-heavy and high-volume workloads see the biggest savings.

    Yes. HERE increased Base Plan and pay-per-transaction pricing by around 6% from April 1, 2026, for new contracts, renewals and extensions. Existing contracts are unchanged until renewal. The figures on this page are reference list prices — we confirm your exact rate in a quote.

    Transaction-based pricing bills per API call — ideal for SaaS teams and platforms with variable usage. Asset-based pricing bills per tracked asset, for example per vehicle per month, which is often far cheaper for fleets running high routing volumes. We help you pick the cheaper model for your operation.

    You contract with Placematic USA LLC as your US contracting entity, with pass-through HERE Gold Partner pricing and one contract covering all HERE APIs. You get US-based billing in USD and hands-on integration support, while we handle the HERE relationship.
