EasyMapMaker vs Mapotic

EasyMapMaker turns spreadsheet data containing addresses or latitude and longitude into maps. Users can paste data or drag in an Excel file, choose options, and generate a map. Its tools include clustering, colored and custom markers, filtering, radius searches, heat maps, map styles, pin labels, and numbered pins. Saved maps can be shared, embedded on a webpage, or printed; users can export maps as images or PDFs and export visible map data to Excel. The free plan uses OSM for geocoding, while paid plans use Google Maps and Google geocoding. The service can also create KML for Google Earth. Maps work on most Apple and Android phones and tablets, though some features may not be supported on every device. Map creation and editing are possible on mobile devices, but the maker does not recommend or support that use. Basic is free with 250 pins per map and 20 maps a day. Pro is $29 per month, and a 7-day trial is listed.

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.
