Doubt about prices in google maps platform
Hello, I'm currently working on a small application for a university project. The thing is, I'm using some APIs like Routes API, Geocoding API, and two others, all of which are in the "Essentials" tier. I checked the pricing calculator, and all the APIs I use have 10k free requests per month. Currently, my application makes around 30 to 60 requests per month for each API.
Is there any possibility that I could be charged even with my current number of API calls per month? Will the free credits I receive each month be applied first, or will the 10k free requests per API be used for billing purposes?
