I've been researching alternatives and Mapfit offers 100,000 API requests a day for free. I haven't read the documentation but looks very promising.

Well a truly bizarre thing happened, the Mapfit staff just altered the text on their pricing box from 100,000/day to 2,500/day (Google cache confirms). Doesn't look very professional.

They’ve probably been getting hammered with signups. It sucks they pulled such an underhand move but it’s obvious why they did it.
