Hi, there. I’m building a directory website and I’m a bit confused about the geolocation feature. Do I have to pay to get the API code? I don’t understand how this works. Is there a free option? Thank you. ---

Hi, To use geolocation features, you’ll need to choose between Google Maps or Mapbox as your map provider, these are the two options we currently support. Mapbox offers a free tier with generous usage limits. You can check the pricing options for both on their respective websites to see which works best for your needs, and you’ll only be charged if you exceed the free usage limits. Hope I helped with your request. ---
