# API Pricing
# Important
The Maps API uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model.
# How usage and billing work under the pay-as-you-go model
- The Geodir Platform APIs are billed by SKU.
- Usage is tracked for each Product SKU, and an API may have more than one Product SKU.
- Cost is calculated by: SKU Usage x Price per each use.
# Terms of Use restrictions
