GIS Software
Alternatives to Felt
Felt puts maps, dashboards, and apps in a cloud GIS, with spatial SQL, cross-table analysis, plain-language Felt AI, live data connections, QGIS publishing, and field collection. Teams can work together in real time, use threaded comments and role-based permissions, embed maps, and connect through APIs or SDKs. Its mobile Field App supports GPS capture, geotagged photos, offline work, and later syncing. Felt runs on web, desktop, mobile, Linux, self-hosted, and API environments. The free Personal plan allows unlimited maps and sharing, but only for personal use and without your own data uploads.

Choosing instead of Felt
Alternatives make sense when you need another balance of cost, deployment, or specialist GIS work. Felt’s Professional and Enterprise tiers use annual contracts, while Professional specifies 25 GB of monthly data processing and 100K monthly map views. Compare those limits with desktop editing, open-source hosting, OGC services, large analysis libraries, territory planning, embedded dashboards, or QGIS-centered workflows. Also weigh offline collection, platform coverage, collaboration, integrations, printing, and control over where the software runs.
