MapTiler Cloud
Swiss vector map tiles, styles and geocoding built on OpenStreetMap, billed per map session with an EU-only API endpoint on paid plans.
A map session includes panning and zooming without extra tile charges. Flex is $30/month for 25,000 sessions and 500,000 API requests, with overages billed separately. Bulk geocoding results can be stored with attribution. The EU-only endpoint needs a paid plan, and the free tier pauses at its quota. We found no public DPA.

Pricing
Published rates converted using workload assumptions. Read the notes. Assumes maps use the SDK session pool and direct geocoding uses the API pool. Other renderers have different billing. How to read these estimates.

Flex is $30/month with 25k map sessions (a page load that initialises a map with the MapTiler SDK; panning and zooming are free) then $2.50/1k, and 500k API requests then $0.15/1k. Forward geocoding called directly over REST counts as 1 API request each, so it is modelled against the 500k API-request pool (assumes map loads go through the SDK and don't draw on that pool; with third-party renderers tiles count as requests instead). Searches from the SDK geocoding control are billed as search sessions instead: 1k free / 3k on Flex, then $2.50/1k. Custom plans are prepaid annual contracts with volume discounts. Terms (s. 6.3-6.4) allow geocoding results to be used outside the service, including bulk geocoding into your own database with attribution; map tiles may not be cached server-side. The api.maptiler.eu endpoint keeps all request processing in the EU but is for paid plans only. MapTiler AG, Unterägeri, Switzerland; no public DPA found (GDPR info on its privacy pages).
