They most certainly do. I got a quote from Google for commercial maps use a few weeks ago. 17.5k/yr an up. Mapbox seems like a good alternative for serious web mapping. Google Maps is still pretty week in B2B type mapping though. Esri is the real competitor here.

Only 17.5k/yr? You got off easy! Our first quote at $work was 6 figures, though we ended up settling on a figure more than yours and less than $100k/yr. We've now switched to OSM + MapQuest open tiles + leaflet and couldn't be happier with the result.
