I encountered similar restrictions while working on a native mobile app using the Google Maps API (free tier) for reverse geocoding and driving distances.
After comparing all our options, MapQuest was the clear winner (100% free). Google/Apple Maps is still used to render the map and pins, but all the business logic uses MapQuest. The transition took roughly 1 day.
Obviously, this won't help with map loads. YMMV.
EDIT: You might be eligible for a grace period until October 12 [1]
