Does usage of the Google Cloud API for the Map widget incur costs on the Google side?

Issue

As a first time user of Google Cloud services, I am unsure if using it for Appsmith will result in any costs on the Google side. I am seeking clarification on this matter. Additionally, I am curious about the pricing plan for Google Maps as I plan to use it for my project.

Resolution

The solution involves using Google Cloud services with Appsmith without incurring any extra costs on the Google side. Google Maps provides a free monthly credit of $200 and only charges when you exceed that limit. To use this service with Appsmith, one can refer to the pricing plan available on the Google Maps Platform website.
