Full disclosure, I am a software engineer on Microsoft Azure Maps who built a feature to help address this exact problem because API calls == $.
My other suggestions if you consider another product like Azure maps is to leverage entry level Skus which have upper limits resulting in throttling on requests. Second option is look into the authentication support; SAS token authentication allows you to configure an upper bound how many requests per second to limit charges.
I have no affiliation with Google maps or other competitors.
