  Ola operates two distinct API access tracks. The Ola Consumer and Corporate Ride APIs are
  invite-only for verified affiliates and enterprise partners — pricing and SLAs are negotiated
  directly with Ola. The Ola Maps API is self-serve with a free tier of 500K API calls per month
  (extended to 5M/month with 2025 promotional update covering 90%+ of Indian developers), usage-based
  billing above the free threshold at rates approximately 50% below Google Maps' reduced pricing,
  and special free commitments for ONDC platform users.
notes: >-
  Ola Ride API pricing is undisclosed (partner/enterprise agreement). Ola Maps published a
  promotional pricing update in February 2025 offering 5M free calls/month. Exact per-call rates
  above the free tier require a pricing calculator visit or contacting sales@olakrutrim.com.
