# PinSharing compared

How PinSharing's terms differ from three popular map APIs on the questions that decide a bill: can you keep results, is the free plan usable commercially, and what happens past the limit. Figures come from each provider's own pricing page, checked November 2026; prices change, so follow the links before deciding.
