Ask HN: What is the free quota of Google maps, places and auto complete API's?

As everyone knows, the Google quota table is extremely confusing. I have been banging my head for more than 2 hours to figure out this, either the blogs or outdated or the calculators are extremely unreliable.

I am building an application and I would like to use google placees api and autocomplete with basic details. For example:

- Let's say my site might have a 10000 visitors per day

- Each visitor will do one autocomplete search and click on the auto search result item

- Each visitor will do one nearbysearch which will give back a response with basic details

Does this comes under free quota? I have setup my billing in google cloud.

Each result will at least be a Places Query. That's $0.017 per request, or $170 for 10000 visitors making 1 request each. So your $200 free quota is enough for a day and a bit, if we ignore the nearbysearch.

This $200 is after the 150k free places request that we get?

you don't get 150k free places requests.
