Atlist vs MapTiler Cloud

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.

MapTiler Cloud is a maps API for developers building web and mobile applications. It lets users adjust language, colors, and fonts for branded maps, upload raster or vector geodata for processing, and publish maps online. Supported file types include GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, and Shapefile. The map editor can add points, lines, polygons, and annotations for use through an API. Location services include search and geocoding between place names or addresses and coordinates. The platform offers APIs for maps, tiles, static maps, geocoding, elevation, weather, IP geolocation, coordinates, and data. It supports raster tiles with Leaflet, OpenLayers, or XYZ, vector tiles with MapTiler SDK, and WMTS for QGIS or ArcGIS. Swift and Kotlin SDKs are available for native iOS and Android apps. The Free plan is for testing, personal, or non-commercial use and includes 5 GB storage, 5k sessions per month, and 100k API requests per month. Paid plans start at $30/mo. If a Free quota is reached, service pauses until the next month unless the account is upgraded.
