Documented gotchas

MapmyIndia logo cannot be removed, mandatory per terms

Mappls terms explicitly prohibit removing or obscuring the MapmyIndia copyright and logo watermark. The logo must be visible on all maps in all plans. This affects brand consistency for white-label products or apps where a third-party logo would be intrusive.

No public per-call pricing, sales engagement required

Mappls does not publish per-call or per-month pricing on their website. Developers must sign up for the console and/or contact sales for commercial pricing. This makes it impossible to estimate costs before committing to the integration without a vendor conversation.
