Geo-grid credit cost calculator
Plan your monthly Google Maps tracking before spending credits. Change the actual grid shape, keyword count, locations and number of runs.
What the calculation includes
Credits = actual grid points × keywords × locations × runs × mode multiplier. Queue uses 1 credit per point; Live uses 3. A circle removes corner points: a 13×13 circle has 113 points, while the square has 169. This calculator follows the same circle mask as SEOMap.
Ten locations, three keywords, four runs
With 5×5 square grids, this is 25 × 10 × 3 × 4 = 3,000 Queue credits or 9,000 Live credits. Four runs means four explicit measurements; some calendar months contain five weekly occurrences. Enter five for those months.
What fits in 500 starting credits?
| Square grid | Queue / scan | Live / scan | Full Queue / Live scans |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5×5 | 25 | 75 | 20 / 6 |
| 7×7 | 49 | 147 | 10 / 3 |
| 13×13 | 169 | 507 | 2 / 0 |
The 500 credits are a one-time trial allowance, not a free monthly plan. A 13×13 square Live scan needs 507 credits and does not fit. Other charged actions, such as uncached keyword-volume requests, reduce the remaining allowance.
Credits are not provider dollars
The estimate covers scan credits only. It does not convert credits into DataForSEO dollars or promise a runtime. Lifetime uses your own provider credentials and has no included credit allowance. Monthly credits do not roll over.
