In their own words
Mapbox Studio
Mapbox Studio is a suite for designing custom map styles and managing location data. You can upload and edit Shapefiles, GeoJSON, and CSV data, which Studio converts into vector tiles. Style controls cover colors, typography, road width, point-of-interest density, sky, 3D buildings, and terrain. Studio can visualize point, line, and polygon data through options such as choropleths and scaled point maps. You can add your own fonts, icons, and textures to a map design. Published styles can be used through Mapbox SDKs and APIs; a stylesheet can also be downloaded or a high-resolution image exported for print. Component styles work with Maps SDK for Web v1.0+, iOS v5.0+, and Android 8.0+. Users cannot author their own Style Components, and components cannot be restored after they are ejected from a style. The plan costs nothing and is available to all Mapbox users, though related API and custom tileset usage may be billed separately. Mapbox says it was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in San Francisco.
MapHub
MapHub is a web tool for making interactive maps from points, lines, polygons, labels, photos, and groups. Users can import and export GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML, GPX, and CSV data, and embed maps on websites. Owners control who can view or edit a map. Real-time collaboration is available on public maps in Free; private-map collaboration is included in Business. The free plan is limited to public maps, with 100 items and 100 kB of GeoJSON per map. MapHub offers Hobbyist at €8 a month billed annually, or €10 billed monthly; Business is €18 a month billed annually, or €20 billed monthly. Enterprise costs $300 a month and includes unlimited map items and GeoJSON size, a dedicated server, and a custom domain. The basemap uses OpenStreetMap data, while search can use open data or commercial geocoding providers. MapHub says it treats user data according to GDPR and does not share map or user data with third parties. Its headquarters are listed as Ujlengyel, Hungary.
