In their own words
ActivityInfo
ActivityInfo is information-management software for partner reporting, monitoring and evaluation, impact measurement, cash voucher assistance, and case management in humanitarian aid, emergencies, and international development. It supports online and offline collection, mobile data capture, collection links, multilingual forms, and validation rules. A no-code relational database builder adds calculated fields, deduplication and merging, record history, and audit logs. Dashboards, maps, pivot tables, charts, and a report designer support analysis. Connections include Power BI, Tableau, ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, R, REST APIs, and webhooks; an MCP server can connect Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to databases. Buyers can use hosted SaaS or self-managed deployment. Permissions can be set by folder, form, subform, or record, with single sign-on through Azure Active Directory, Google Workspace, and Okta. ActivityInfo is paid from €545 a year, offers a 30-day trial, and has no free plan. Android, web, API, Linux, Windows, and self-hosted access are listed.
GIS Cloud
GIS Cloud provides web and mobile tools for mapping, data management and field collection, with maps that teams can share privately, with collaborators or publicly. Map Editor supports vector and raster formats, multiple layers and basemaps, and drawing points, lines and polygons. Listed data sources include WMS, WFS, WMTS, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Excel, CSV, Bing, OpenStreetMap and Mapbox. Mobile Data Collection uses custom forms to gather points, lines and polygons online or offline on Android and iOS; offline records stay on the device and sync when connectivity returns. QGIS and ArcMap publisher plugins, REST and JavaScript APIs provide additional connections. AI Form Fill can suggest form values from photos or voice, which users can review, edit or revert before saving. GIS Cloud says data is hosted on AWS in the US by default, with EU and Australia regions and on-premises deployment available. Plans include Track at $5 a month per asset, Map Viewer at $12 a month billed annually, Mobile Data Collection at $25 a month billed annually, Map Editor at $75 a month billed annually and Map Portal at $79 a month billed annually. The Geocoder is in beta for beta customers only.
