In their own words
BatchGeo
BatchGeo turns spreadsheet data into interactive maps by geocoding locations and plotting them on Google Maps. Users can paste addresses, intersections, cities, states, postal codes, or coordinates, then group and filter results to explore geographic trends. Maps can use markers or boundaries and be saved for embedding on websites with HTML. The free tier supports maps with up to 250 rows; its plan also lists map saving for up to 30 days, up to 1000 geocoding per month, and up to 100 map views. Pro costs $99 a month and includes route optimization for up to 23 locations, Street View integration, and PDF, PNG, and KML exports. BatchGeo has a native iOS app for accessing maps, searching locations, filtering data, and getting driving directions; Android users are directed to mobile-optimized maps. Maps can be public, unlisted, subscription-accessible, or password-protected with Pro. BatchGeo notes technical users may still uncover hidden locations when address hiding is enabled.
