There is a list here (vs. Google) https://opencagedata.com/guides/how-to-switch-from-google-ma...

though really the key difference is the fact that we use open data. Googles data is not open, this significatly restricts what you can do with the data.

And here is a similar comparison versus running your own Nominatim https://opencagedata.com/guides/how-to-switch-from-nominatim

Please let us know if anything is out of date or can be made more clear. Thanks.

Thanks!

Is there a chance you guys will ever switch to a per-request pricing model?

    well the pricing models are per request, but just in easy to understand buckets (small, medium, large). Our experience is most people prefer this as they know exactly what they will spend, there is never a surprising bill.

    That said we do have enterprise customers with other pricing models to meet their exact needs. Please get in touch if we can help you.

      To be specific my use case is for a seasonal-based app. So I neither want to pay for 10 months where $45 is too large, or buy a pre-determined amount without auto-reload where it's possible to run out of requests if I'm not careful.

      I suppose you can't please everyone.
