Two options the way I see it:

* Offer unlimited access for more money (popular) * Offer a cheap, simple way to batch requests of very large and/or unlimited sizes (e.g., CSV upload)

The latter is nice, because it's not worth it for me to upload a CSV file with 1 address in it -- I might as well use your regular API. And it's not worth it for just 25 addresses, either. There's some threshold where it becomes more useful for me to submit my addresses in bulk, and that's where the CSV files come in. It should be way cheaper for you to process a file with 1 million rows than it would be to process 1 million API requests, so if you were to do that, it would be a gold mine for businesses like mine that require geocoding capabilities for millions of addresses at a time.

I really don't want to hijack the thread, but I couldn't help notice that the company I work for[1] recently added a lot of these features which might be of interest.

We have support for both bulk CSV upload and an API endpoint for batch geocoding. We are also starting to introduce unlimited access for a flat monthly fee (with no limits to requests per sec), please contact us if you're interested [2].

Hi Mathias,

big fan of your company's approach, congrats on your progress. The one weakness is that it's limited to just the US.

A noble intention but doesn't mesh perfectly with the reality of my lifestyle, ie feeding my kids.

Mine either but I have a day job for that.
