    There is no 'free" account. You have to provide credit card information, bit that doesn't mean it will cost you. – geocodezip Feb 17 '21 at 03:53

    I’m voting to close this question because it has nothing to do with programming. – MrUpsidown Feb 17 '21 at 10:04

Unfortunately, Google API services requires you to add your card details. There is no way to access Google Cloud services without filling in your card details.

You can try creating a virtual card using services like https://privacy.com/ if you are concerned about your card safety. You can use that virtual card to enable billing on Google Cloud Project.

  • Google explicitly states that you cannot use virtual cards: "Prepaid cards and Virtual Credit Cards (VCCs) are not accepted for payment. Bank accounts that only support disbursements are not accepted for payment." https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/payment-methods#:~:text=Prepaid%20cards%20and%20Virtual%20Credit,are%20not%20accepted%20for%20payment. – ali bakhtiari Dec 21 '22 at 08:50

You can't use Google Map API without adding billing info. It costs real money as soon as you go over your allotted $200 per month. In order to ensure you are charged in case you happen to go over $200, you must input credit card details. You can use something https://www.stripe.com/ if you have a business or services like https://www.adyen.com/issuing, and https://privacy.com/
