Atlist vs Mapotic

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.

Mapotic is a mapping platform for creating web maps and mobile apps from location data. Its Map Builder supports custom fields, data layers, filters, ratings, comments, routes and polygons. Live Data Maps processes telemetry, GPS and tracking data for map visualizations, with API-call and update limits that vary by plan. Integrations include Google Sheets, WordPress, telemetry and tracking sources, and the Mapotic API. Google Sheets data can be imported once or connected on a schedule, including for approval workflows. Maps can be embedded in WordPress, and Mapotic describes connecting WordPress API content and user accounts with maps. The maker also offers branded iOS and Android apps. The Map Builder free plan is forever free, covers 100 places and may show ads; paid Map Builder plans start at $19 per month. Mapotic says it does not offer a free trial, though a showcase and time-limited premium access may be available by inquiry. Premium plans include 24/7 support by email, phone or video call.
