     What is the difference between an OS OpenData plan and a Premium plan?

*Our OS OpenData plan* ensures you only consume OS OpenData. It locks down calls to our APIs so that you can never accidentally use or be charged for our Premium Data.

The OS OpenData plan is free to use for any purpose, including providing services from which you make a profit.

You can always upgrade to a Premium plan later which will unlock our Premium Data for you to use.

*Our Premium plan * opens up the use of our Premium Data. This is our most detailed mapping and geospatial feature data. You receive £1,000 of free Premium Data transactions each month on a use-it-or-lose-it basis. Once you've used up your free credit we'll either start charging for further Premium Data usage or, if you don't provide payment details, we'll pause your ability to make calls to our Premium Data until the next month when you receive another £1,000 of free Premium Data^* <https://osdatahub.os.uk/support/plans#premiumPlan> .

There was a reference to £1000 worth of data being made free each month to individual users - can't find out how this works yet. This may allow us as individuals to populate OSM and OSM essentially aggregates the data - rather like postcode data.

Generally reconstructing a database piecemeal is considered no different from copying a substantial part in one go.

I suspect the reality with postcodes is that the the Post Office doesn't see collection of individual codes from the relevant business or resident as a significant risk, as they don't believe anyone will construct a sufficiently complete database that way.

Unlike natural features, both postcodes and telephone numbers start their life as entries in databases, but both of them need to be known to contacts of a person without the need for formally entering into a licence agreement.

However, if every user used their free quota of postcode searches each day, I think the Post Office would take action.

Normally when limited searches are allowed, there is also a personal use only restriction applied.
