## Overview {#general}

[Yandex MapKit SDK](https://yandex.ru/dev/maps/mapkit/doc/intro/concepts/about.html#about) is a cross-platform library that lets you use Yandex Maps features in mobile apps. You can use MapKit to build routes, search for organizations, display panoramas, and so on.

| Number of unique map users per day (DAU) | 1000 | [According to the pricing plan](#tariffs) |

## Commercial version {#tariffs}

The commercial MapKit version is intended for apps that need more functionality than provided under the free version's [terms of use](https://tech.yandex.ru/maps/mapkit/doc/3.x/concepts/conditions-docpage/). For example, you can't use the free version for the following purposes:

- Transport tracking.
- Working with the map offline.

Evaluate the load on your app and choose the appropriate pricing plan.

The pricing plan determines the limit value for unique users (DAU) who accessed the map section in the app.
