How searches are counted

One search = one ROUTE function call. ROUTE.DISTANCE, ROUTE.TIME, and ROUTE.DIRECTIONS each consume a search. ROUTE.URL is free — it just composes a Google Maps URL on your machine, no API call.

Excel persists results between sessions. When you close and reopen a workbook, the cells keep their computed values — no formulas re-fire, no searches consumed. You only spend more searches on the same workbook when you edit a cell's inputs or force Excel to recalculate.

Subscribers drain their monthly quota first; credit-pack searches kick in only when the monthly bucket is exhausted. That way the perishable budget (monthly) gets used and the lifetime pack (credits) is held in reserve.

Frequently asked

What's the trial?

100 free searches, and they never expire — use them all in one afternoon or spread them over months. No credit card needed. Once they're used up you can subscribe, buy a credit pack, or stop using it.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. From inside Excel, the task pane has an "Open billing portal" button that takes you to Stripe's hosted portal where you can cancel, switch plans, or update your payment method. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period.

What if I exceed my monthly quota?

The cell returns #N/A with a "quota exceeded" message. Buy an overage top-up from the task pane ($5 for 1,000 searches, $20 for 5,000) and you're immediately back in business. Overage searches never expire.

Do you handle taxes / VAT?

Yes. Stripe acts as the merchant of record on every transaction, which means tax is calculated, collected, and remitted automatically based on where you're billing from. No work for you.

What platforms does it work on?

Excel for Mac, Excel for Windows, and Excel on the web — anywhere Microsoft 365 runs. iPad / iPhone / Android Excel are not supported at launch.

Where does my data go?

Addresses you enter go to HERE to compute the route, and the result comes back to your spreadsheet. We store your email (for billing), search counts (for quota enforcement), and hashed versions of your address pairs (for cache lookup and analytics). We never sell data. See our privacy policy.
