Apple Maps is cheap - 250000 views per day are for free. You will have to create your own client JWTs afaik. Not sure about APIs.

Agreed. I moved straight to Apple Maps after Google’s price hike and haven’t had a problem since.

To this day still covered by the free tier whereas on Google it went overnight from free to $300+/month.

I can’t quite recall if you need to be registered as an Apple Developer to use it (probably).

are you using the mapkit-js[1] to integrate with other platforms than ios, or something else ?

Yep MapKit JS for "find your nearest location" type functionality on a corporate website (with zip/post code lookup, location details overlaid etc.)

Rereading OP I realise the question was about APIs rather than necessarily web-based mapping (which is how I initially had read it)
