# How do you manage Google Maps Platform request-based pricing as usage grows?

We use Google Maps Platform for real-time shipment and driver tracking, and it’s been helpful to manage a lot of location work in one place with permission-based access for different users. The main challenge has been pricing, since billing is tied to how many requests each user makes, and a heavy-usage new user can drive costs up quickly. What approaches have you used to keep request volume and costs under control while still supporting real-time tracking needs?
