Atlist vs Scribble Maps

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.

Scribble Maps is a web-based map-authoring platform for finding, creating, editing, annotating, embedding, and using maps, with Android and iOS support. It imports place-related spreadsheets, lists, and geodata in CSV, GeoJSON, and KML formats. Map tools include markers, lines, circles, donut and drive-time polygons, data filters, heat maps, measurement, and route optimization. Maps can be shared or embedded, and several users can work on one simultaneously. Its Connect Map Picker can integrate into web apps and return map data in formats including GeoJSON, KML, CSV, GPX, DXF, and Shapefile. Encryption uses AES-256 with PBKDF2 and takes place on the user's computer, but encrypted maps lack autosave, server-generated images, and listed-format exports; lost passwords cannot be recovered. The free plan allows one user, five lifetime map saves, and 450×450px images. Paid plans start at $14/mo (annual), and a 7-day trial is listed.
