's listing maps run on PinSharing tiles

Map data updated Nov 4, 2026

Hard monthly caps, never an overage bill

## Show where, not exactly where

An exact pin on a listing exposes someone's home. Privacy area mode snaps the real point to a grid and draws a circle that always contains it, with no pin. Every address in the same cell gets the identical image, so nobody can narrow it down by comparing maps.

- Rentals and home listings shown before a viewing is booked
- Private sellers and for-sale-by-owner listings
- Marketplace meetups and local services

Exact pin: the address is exposed

Privacy area: the neighbourhood, not the house

## One key, four jobs

Every product is built on OpenStreetMap data and billed against the same flat plan.

### Show a location without the address

Privacy area images for listings: a shaded circle, no pin, the same picture for every nearby address.

### Turn addresses into coordinates you keep

Forward, reverse and type-ahead geocoding worldwide. Store the results in your own database on any paid plan.

### Put a map anywhere an image goes

One URL returns a PNG, JPG or WebP with markers, a route or an area. Use it in listing cards, emails and PDFs, and cache it.

### Run an interactive map

Raster tiles for Leaflet, or vector tiles with four ready-made styles for MapLibre.

## Keeping geocodes shouldn't cost 25 times more

Storing 100,000 geocoded addresses a month costs $19 on Starter. At Mapbox's published rate for geocodes you may store ($5.00 per 1,000, no free allowance) the same 100,000 cost $500. [mapbox.com/pricing](https://www.mapbox.com/pricing), checked Nov 2026.

## Simple plans, hard caps

Requests pause at the cap until the 1st of the month or until you upgrade. We email you at 80% so it's never a surprise.

Every plan: commercial use, one key for all products, and a hard monthly cap. You are never billed for overage.

## Questions

**Is it really free to start?**

Yes. Free needs no card and allows commercial use: 100 static images, 1,000 address lookups and 10,000 map tiles a month. Free images carry a small pinsharing.com mark, and Free results may be stored for 30 days.

**What does "maps you can keep" mean?**

On any paid plan you may cache static images and store geocoding results indefinitely, including in commercial products, as long as the OpenStreetMap credit goes with them. Many map APIs forbid that or charge extra for it.

**What happens when I hit my cap?**

That product answers HTTP 429 until the 1st of next month or until you upgrade. Your other products keep working. We email you at 80% and at 100%, and we never bill for overage.

**Where does the map data come from?**

OpenStreetMap, rebuilt regularly. The current data is from Nov 4, 2026. Streets and towns are reliable worldwide; US house numbers vary by area while we add a US address dataset.
