About Openfreemap Expand
OpenFreeMap provides a free, open-source product for website and app developers needing custom maps. It removes the friction of usage-based pricing common with commercial map providers by offering a public instance with no limits on map views or requests.
For those who prefer full control, weekly full planet downloads are available for self-hosting. This leverages OpenStreetMap data and a donation-based model, serving developers who prioritize cost predictability and open infrastructure over proprietary services.
