HERE announces new pricing plan

The new tool, from the global leader in mapping and location technology, enables developers to innovate and create solutions that will transform the way we move, live, and interact with others. Developers can now access a comprehensive set of 26 location-based APIs and SDKs, including maps, geocoding, geofencing, weather, and intermodal routing for free; as well as more advanced features such as turn-by-turn navigation, waypoint, and fleet APIs.

The diversity of HERE’s freemium offering gives developers hyper specific tools to solve a range of challenges; in comparison to Google, Mapbox, and other providers, who bucket their APIs into more generalised tools. A breakdown of freemium, along with the more robust pro plan for businesses, can be found below:

• Freemium – 250,000 platform transactions, 5,000 SDK active users and 250 managed assets per month at no charge
  • $1 per additional 1,000 transactions
• Pro – 1 million platform transactions, 5,000 SDK active users and 250 managed assets per month for $449/month.

HERE Technologies is the Open Location Platform company, owned by the likes of BMW, Audi, and Daimler. Local governments in Dubai and Slovenia use HERE’s data to inform smart city developments, while partnerships with the likes of Virgin Hyperloop position HERE at the forefront of transportation’s future.
