PinSharing vs Geoapify
Geoapify is generous: a large free tier you may use commercially, and permission to store results. If that fits, it's a good choice. PinSharing is cheaper once you pay, works on monthly hard caps and draws privacy area images for listings.

Where each one wins
On the free plan, Geoapify gives you more volume than we do, and we say so. Once you pay, PinSharing's $19 Starter covers 100,000 static images, 100,000 geocodes and 1,000,000 tiles a month, all storable, against Geoapify's $59 first paid plan. Geoapify counts credits a day, so a busy day can hit its quota even when the month is quiet; PinSharing counts per month.
Pick PinSharing if…
- You've outgrown a free tier and want the cheapest storable plan
- Your traffic is spiky, so a monthly quota suits you better than a daily one
- You need privacy area images
- You want a hard cap rather than soft limits
Pick Geoapify if…
- You want the largest free tier
- You need routing, isochrones, places or boundaries
- You want bulk geocoding tools in the browser
