What the same volume costs elsewhere
At metered map rates, $19 buys you about 3 800 routes. Here it buys a million.
Routing plans live on this page; ElaraZip and ElaraServer licences live on the compression page. One catalogue, two product families.
Our public proof runs on a free-tier box on purpose. Paid capacity grows with paid demand, funded by the plans.
Map APIs bill per request, so your bill grows with your success. Elara bills a flat monthly rate for the speed lane you pick, the same price whether you run one route or a million.

*Cost basis: Google Maps Platform list pricing (about $5 per 1 000 route calls or matrix elements, after the free allowance), retrieved June 2026. Several map providers restructured pricing in 2025 and some teams saw bills jump three-fold overnight. Always check the current rate card. Elara's prices are flat and published above.

One price, your currency, every wallet
Plans are priced in US dollars and charged in your local currency at checkout. Pay by card, Google Pay or Apple Pay through our secure global checkout, taxes and VAT are handled for you, wherever you are. A drone, a dispatcher and a hobby app don't need the same response time, so you pay for the speed lane you choose; every API stays available on every plan.
Payments settle through our South African processor in South African rand (ZAR). If your card is not in rand, your bank converts the amount at its own rate, so the figure on your statement may differ slightly from the local estimate shown above.
