Show HN: Ogmap – A low-cost vector map tiles API

Hey everyone

I’ve been hacking on a project → [OGMAP](https://ogmap.com). It’s a *vector tiles API (PBF)* with simple prepaid pricing:

- $10 = 1,000,000 tiles

- 250k free on sign-up

- Auto-buy with Stripe, with safety limits

- Served worldwide via Cloudflare CDN

We don’t try to compete with Mapbox feature-wise. It’s literally just fast, low-cost tiles + some basic styles for MapLibre.

Why I built it: I wanted to start a web project and realized if it got even a bit popular (before monetization), I couldn’t afford the usual map APIs. Existing services often cost 3–10× more. So I made this for myself and figured others might find it useful too.

If you want to build something without burning your budget on maps, give it a try. And if anyone needs help with integration or launching their project, I’m happy to help :)

P.S. I’m also just excited to finally launch this — now I can start working on all those side-project ideas from my notebook that needed maps. Before, I always hit the wall of map API costs. Open/self-hosted alternatives weren’t really an option for me, because I want the confidence that if a project actually takes off, I won’t suddenly be asked to run and scale my own tile server. That reliability at scale was a key reason I built OGMAP as a service.
