Top 3 Reasons Why Businesses Choose
NextBillion.ai's Distance Matrix API
5000 x 5000 matrix size support with low latency
Unlike Google's standard 25 x 25 matrix, NextBillion.ai’s API offers matrix sizes of up to 5000 x 5000 elements. Our API's performance is optimized to generate accurate ETAs and handle large matrices at very low latencies.
Flexible pricing for predictable costs
NextBillion.ai offers custom pricing based on the number of orders, assets or API calls, ensuring predictable costs. In contrast, Google's per API call fixed cost and feature-based pricing may not align with heavy distance matrix usage.
Truck-specific optimal ETAs
NextBillion.ai offers out-of-the-box support for truck routing, a feature missing in Google Distance Matrix API. Our system takes into account truck dimensions and type of goods for more efficient and regulation-compliant routing and navigation.
Pricing that Works for Every Business

How much
could you save?
NextBillion.ai has a standardized pricing structure for all its features — no unexpected cost spikes. In contrast, Google’s standard version lacks features like departure time-based routes, requiring an upgrade to the ‘Advanced’ version that costs double.

Customers Who Switched
From Google to NextBillion.ai
A great product that fills a distinct hole in the market.
NextBillion solves the problem of providing a high-performance mapping platform at scale. We use them to generate large distance matrices that we use to solve unique geospatial routing problems that arise in the short-haul trucking industry. We generate efficient delivery schedules in real time for hundreds of vehicles, so distance calculations need to be fast and reliable.
NexBillion.ai Routing API
fast and easy to use
Switching from the Google to Nextbillion.ai routing was easy and has made our app faster and more robust. In addition, the number of calls to the API to get the same result set has decreased dramatically… Nextbillion.ai takes fewer API calls than Google for the same result sets and is more responsive.
Support very good
and friendly
Nextbillion provide the maps distance calculation with the low price but high value service to us. Nextbilions has help us reduce the cost and provide the same service as google!
NextBillion.ai reduced Printo spends
on distance matrix API by almost 58%!
The integration process is quick and the nextbillion's team responds quickly for any queries we have. It reduced our spends on distance matrix API by 50% as we used to use Google Maps API before.
