Interesting. It seems you're right.
I just checked that on their pricing page.
Back when I used it, you got the API credentials for free without having to add any credit card and you would only need to pay if you wanted to perform a large number of requests.
All great ideas. I did use the Google Maps API a few months ago and it looked like you needed to pay for it.
I highly recommend Mapbox, I played with it quite a while ago and back then it had a generous free tier, nice API, libraries and a bunch of examples
Thanks, I'll check that one out.

Yeah, Google is charging for every API call. You can still build and use it, but it covers the map, kinda like a paywall.
But it's free up to $200 per month. Or am I wrong?
It looks like you're correct about the free $200 credit/month. You have to enable billing to get it, so Google needs a CC on file.
