Atlist vs EasyMapMaker

Atlist is a web tool for creating interactive Google Maps for store locators, world maps, itineraries and data visualizations. Maps can use styled markers, groups, polygons, circles, lines, region shapes and routes. Marker pop-ups may contain HTML, buttons and photo galleries. Spreadsheet imports are supported, and a connected Google Sheet can automatically supply new markers. Visitors can search for nearby markers by location or address, browse a customizable marker list and filter by tags. Paid plans allow public URLs, website embedding and password protection. Workspaces support collaboration; the first member outside a paid plan is free, while additional members cost $5 per month. Atlist says it provides Google Maps Platform API access, so users do not need their own API key or Google Account. Maps can be created and viewed in mobile browsers, but there is no iOS or Android app. The free plan provides five maps and 50 markers per map, without sharing or embedding. Paid plans start at $15.00 per month; Basic costs $15.00 monthly and Pro costs $25.00 monthly.

EasyMapMaker turns spreadsheet data containing addresses or latitude and longitude into maps. Users can paste data or drag in an Excel file, choose options, and generate a map. Its tools include clustering, colored and custom markers, filtering, radius searches, heat maps, map styles, pin labels, and numbered pins. Saved maps can be shared, embedded on a webpage, or printed; users can export maps as images or PDFs and export visible map data to Excel. The free plan uses OSM for geocoding, while paid plans use Google Maps and Google geocoding. The service can also create KML for Google Earth. Maps work on most Apple and Android phones and tablets, though some features may not be supported on every device. Map creation and editing are possible on mobile devices, but the maker does not recommend or support that use. Basic is free with 250 pins per map and 20 maps a day. Pro is $29 per month, and a 7-day trial is listed.
