One thing I like about AWS is that all services have a pricing section. I am interested in the routing service (https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/routes/) but there is only a contact sales button, no public pricing info available.

https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/sheet/ has pricing for routes.

Holy mother of god is that expensive.

Check out Mapbox for a nice alternative.

You can also check out this routing service https://developer.tomtom.com/online-routing

It's affordable and uses live and predictive traffic
