Google Maps Geocoding No Longer Free?

It's been a while since I've played around with geocoding, but going through their documentation it seems to me that Google now charges $0.005 for each geocoding call. Do they no longer allow the 2,500 free requests/day? I'm in Canada if that makes a difference (the documentation listed the prices for Canada, Brazil, and India... not sure if its different in the states)... or am I missing something? I have a list of about 4,500 addresses that I need to geocode to put on a map. I'm also using PHP to make the calls to the javascript API.

Google Maps APIs are no longer available without API keys. Additionally, you must supply credit card information before you can access their API at all. Judging by your usage, you may be able to fall within their new free $200 credit per month.

You can visit the Google Maps API pricing to view pricing information and see if it will still work for you. If not, or you would just like to switch, another option may be OpenStreetMap.
