EasyMapMaker vs Proxi

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.

Proxi is a web platform for building interactive maps, directories, event calendars, and passport trails for communities. Its no-code tools let users create maps, calendars, or passports. Maps can be branded, embedded, or shared by link or QR code, with filters, routes, and point submissions. The platform also supports mobile guides, passport events, scavenger hunts, and community voting campaigns. Premium includes automated and broadcast SMS and email messaging for mobile guides and events. API keys, webhooks, and Zapier connections can link maps with other tools; the External API Gateway is limited to 60 requests per minute per key. The Free plan is free and has clearly marked limits. Proxi Pro starts at $32 a month, with up to 1,000 events a year, 100 SMS messages and 1,000 email messages a month, and 1,000,000 monthly map viewers. Proxi Premium starts at $167 a month and includes up to 1,000 SMS and 10,000 email messages monthly, with the same viewer limit. Paid plans include a 7-day free trial; the pricing FAQ says users may cancel during that period at no cost.
