Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

DNV Maritime

  • Pricing not published; all services require custom quotes and sales consultation
  • No published technical specifications or system requirements
  • Enterprise-only model; no self-service pricing or standard tier options published

Google Maps Platform

  • Free allowances are per service rather than pooled, at 10,000 events a month for dynamic maps, geocoding and autocomplete
  • Dynamic Maps cost $7.00 per 1,000 calls at the entry tier
  • Geocoding and the Directions API both cost $5.00 per 1,000 calls at the entry tier
  • Pricing is tiered by volume, so the effective unit price depends on total monthly usage and is hard to predict in advance
  • Billing is usage based with no flat plan, so a traffic spike is a cost spike
