Licensing and cost for Anytime maptiles

Entitlement

Popcast Anytime Maptiles is gated by the feature key popcast.anytime.segment_occ_tiles. In the console it appears as Popcast Segment Occupancy (Anytime) Polygon Maptiles on your organization's entitlements page.

  • Manual grant only. This feature is deny-by-default: an explicit grant from Motionworks is required; self-serve orgs cannot turn it on themselves. Contact sales for an explicit grant.
  • One entitlement, all tilesets. A single entitlement covers every published Anytime tileset (currently twelve: All Persons plus eleven audience segments) with no per-segment scoping. Listing any one published slug in a grant implies access to all of them.
  • Without the entitlement, grant minting returns 403 FEATURE_NOT_LICENSED.

Cost model

Operation Credits
Discovery (GET /v2/popcast/tiles/anytime/tilesets) 0 (public, free)
Grant CRUD and TileJSON (control plane) 0
Tile bytes (GET .../anytime/{layer}/{z}/{x}/{y}.mvt) 1 credit per 1000 tiles served

At the metered credit price of $0.05 per credit, tile delivery works out to $0.05 per 1000 tiles. Tile fetches accrue in-transaction against your billing account (op id popcast_anytime_tiles_fetch, meter divisor 1000), so credit-pack wallets are billed the same way as metered-rail accounts.

A quick cost sanity model: a map session that pulls 60 tiles per view, serving 50,000 map views a month, fetches about 3,000,000 tiles, or 3,000 credits, or about $150.

Console visibility

Your organization admin can see the entitlement state and mint/revoke grants from the developer dashboard in the console. Grants minted through the API also appear there under the tile grants surface for Popcast; grant usage reporting (usage_30d) is a placeholder today and lands in a follow-up.
