Billing of Google API

Map-API’s used at Nuclei-SDK

a. User lands on cabs category → ReverseGeolocationRequest (Geocoding API)


Every time user adjusts the location on map (avg 10)

b. Everytime user enters more than 2 character in places search and the listing
appears→ AutoCompleteRequest (Autocomplete api)

c. Every time user selects one of location in displayed listing


PlaceIdRequest (Geocoding API)

Assumptions:

a. User changes location 10 times (including pick and drop).


b. The direction api, for updating cab markers on map, is called every 20 seconds.
c. User keep the app in foreground for 20 min
d. 1 Dollar = Rs.82

$ ( 10* 17/1000 + T* 60/20 * 5/1000)


$ (170 + 15T) / 1000
$(170 + 15T) /1000

1 ride cost ( T = 20)


$(170 + 15 * 20) /1000
$ (170 + 300)/1000
$0.470 ~ Rs. 38.7 per ride

Google provides Free quota: $200 / month which means approximately ~ 425 rides
