Compute Routes and Compute Route Matrix each have three SKUs that determine the cost of a request. The SKU used to determine the cost is based on the service you request, Compute Routes or Compute Route Matrix, and the features that you use in the request. For example:
Compute Routes requests are billed for each Request.
Compute Route Matrix requests are billed per ELEMENT returned from the request. The number of elements is the number of origins multiplied by the number of destinations. For example, if a request contains two origins and three destinations, then the request is billed for six elements.
The features you use determine which SKU category is billed:
Essentials: Billed for requests that use only basic features with a maximum of 10 intermediate waypoints.
Pro: Billed for requests that use an advanced feature, such as the
TRAFFIC_AWARE
orTRAFFIC_AWARE_OPTIMAL
route modifiers.Enterprise: Billed for requests that use an enterprise feature, such as two-wheel routing.
See the SKU details for a complete list of features that trigger these SKUs.
