In their own words
GIS Cloud
GIS Cloud provides web and mobile tools for mapping, data management and field collection, with maps that teams can share privately, with collaborators or publicly. Map Editor supports vector and raster formats, multiple layers and basemaps, and drawing points, lines and polygons. Listed data sources include WMS, WFS, WMTS, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Excel, CSV, Bing, OpenStreetMap and Mapbox. Mobile Data Collection uses custom forms to gather points, lines and polygons online or offline on Android and iOS; offline records stay on the device and sync when connectivity returns. QGIS and ArcMap publisher plugins, REST and JavaScript APIs provide additional connections. AI Form Fill can suggest form values from photos or voice, which users can review, edit or revert before saving. GIS Cloud says data is hosted on AWS in the US by default, with EU and Australia regions and on-premises deployment available. Plans include Track at $5 a month per asset, Map Viewer at $12 a month billed annually, Mobile Data Collection at $25 a month billed annually, Map Editor at $75 a month billed annually and Map Portal at $79 a month billed annually. The Geocoder is in beta for beta customers only.
NextGIS Web
NextGIS Web is an open-source Web GIS server for managing geospatial data and publishing browser maps. It keeps vector and raster data in a central database that users can work with through a web interface or API. Its map tools support feature editing and sharing, while QGIS Teamspace enables real-time editing of server data with QGIS tools. Built-in version control tracks vector feature changes and allows rollbacks and snapshots. Datasets can be delivered as raster or vector tiles, WMS, WFS, OGC API Features, or through the REST API. Integrations include PostgreSQL, external WMS/WFS/TMS services, and FIRMS fire monitoring. It can run on Linux with Docker, keeping data within a customer's infrastructure, or use cloud plans with US, EU, and APAC regions. The Free cloud plan allows one user, 15 layers, and 5 GiB of storage, with all resources public. Free plan; paid from €15/mo (annual).
