BStreams vs Unmapped

BStreams is a web-based data visualization tool for building interactive BI dashboards, reports, and data stories from users’ data. Its drag-and-drop dashboard builder can work with Excel spreadsheets without software installation. Users can combine charts, maps, tables, text, and images, and add filters. Reports can be shared by link or embedded on a website; projects can remain private or be made public. The free Basic plan lists XLSX and CSV datasets, one collaborator, 50 MB of storage, a 3 MB maximum upload, and a watermark. Professional costs €23 per month and lists five collaborators, 3 GB of storage, and email support; it also lists linked Google Sheets with daily refresh and PDF and other format exports. Service provider and Enterprise plans list PDF, JPEG, and PNG exports. The maker describes BStreams as intended for individuals and organizations including teams, agencies, researchers, nonprofits, and sales teams. The service is operated by NextInt Lab S.r.l., an Italian startup with its registered office in Milan. Its terms say 24/7 availability is not guaranteed, and public or link-shared projects may be accessed, viewed, copied, and distributed by the public.

Unmapped is a browser-based map studio for making and publishing maps as videos, interactive stories, or maps. It runs in a modern desktop browser without installation. Its timeline treats places, labels, routes, and effects as clips, arranged into scenes with transitions, looping, and frame-accurate scrubbing. Bring in CSV, GeoJSON, zipped Shapefiles, or GeoTIFF files, or use live earthquake, wildfire, and weather-alert feeds. Visualizations can take the form of points, heatmaps, hexbins, or 3D columns, with styling, timing, and animation. You can add 3D models such as landmarks, people, or storm systems to routes, or ask the AI assistant to build scenes from a description. Exports include MP4 films up to 4K in landscape or vertical formats, interactive stories, and still images from any frame. Stories can be public, unlisted, or private; public ones may appear in discovery surfaces. The free plan includes manual 2D editing and previews. Pro and Studio add terrain and 3D buildings, credits, MCP support, and ChatGPT app integrations.
