Is there a global alternative to Google Maps API related primarily to the extraction of road distances?

Say, I have latitude and longitude information for a great number of locations, in which I would like to build a matrix of distances. Google sets a limit to our queues (2500 daily extractions), which is significantly lower than what I need. Instead of paying google or doing approximations with geodesic distances, what would be my alternatives?

Try Distancematrix.ai. This is an alternative to Google Maps Distance Matrix API, but it has even more advantages. Main features:

  • Unlimited matrix size
  • Accounts for traffic conditions, traffic jams, and restrictions
  • Distances are calculated to account for driving, walking, or bicycling
  • Departure and arrival time option is used to build a forecast
  • Easy migration, you have just to switch endpoint
