Verdicts

Geoapify Location Platform + MCP

Free plan allows commercial production use, 3,000 credits a day, no card. No security.txt, disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found.

TomTom Maps APIs + MCP

No-card free allowance of 20,000 geocodes, 20,000 reverse geocodes and 20,000 routes a month. Terms, rate limits and deprecation policy render client-side, so storage rules and notice periods are unverified.

Before you call either

Geoapify Location Platform + MCP

  1. Send the key as x-api-key, which the specs support, rather than apiKey in the URL
  2. Use api-eu.geoapify.com when the data has to stay on EU infrastructure
  3. Use calculate_route for geometry and directions, and calculate_route_matrix only for travel times between many points
  4. Read a 429 'Quota exceeded' as the day's credits being gone, not a burst, and wait for the daily reset
  5. Show OpenStreetMap attribution wherever you display results

TomTom Maps APIs + MCP

  1. Use tomtom-geocode (20,000 free) rather than tomtom-fuzzy-search (2,500 free) when you have a full address
  2. Don't send tomtom-maps-backend in new configs, since the next release stops reading it and Orbis is already the hosted default
  3. Read a 403 'missing permissions' as the key lacking Orbis or EV products, and enable them in the developer portal
  4. Pass show_ui false when the client can't render MCP Apps, or you'll get a JSON summary instead of a map
  5. Redact the key parameter before logging REST URLs
