Real world comparisons
Because the price of a request is tiny, we have scaled the prices. The displayed prices are for 1000 instances of the example.
Let's say you need to find 20 options between two users for a date night. They want pizza, but one is gluten-free. Simple, right?
Requirements:

Built for a new era of location intelligence
Our goal here is not to bash Google Places API, infact, we think it's great for old, traditional services. We are creating a new era of location intelligence.
One that utlises our connected world, to bridge people looking for great places, with venues that offer unique and exciting offerings.
Our API
Explore our API endpoints, the prices are per 1k requests. Usually, one search request, and 1 to 3 detail requests are used per user(s) session. e.g. two users finding a venue.
