The short version

  • Only Mappedin has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Mappedin location naming is the leading source of integration failures, requiring manual cleanup of AI-generated labels; Mapzen the vendor's own pricing page as captured by the Internet Archive on 2 January 2018 priced its mobility APIs on a free tier plus overage model: Turn-by-Turn navigation free for the first 5,000 requests per month then 50 cents per additional 1,000 requests, and Isochrone and Optimized Route each free for the first 100 requests per month then $1.50 per additional 1,000 requests; Mapzen shut down as a project in 2018 shortly after this capture and this pricing no longer applies to any live service
