Mapbox Studio vs QGIS Cloud

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.

QGIS Cloud is a hosted Web-GIS platform for publishing QGIS maps, spatial data, and services online. Users install its plugin in QGIS Desktop, upload data, and publish maps served with QGIS Server; the maps retain the styling of their desktop projects. The service provides PostgreSQL databases extended with PostGIS, manageable through tools such as pgAdmin and QGIS Database Manager. Maps and data can be shared through WMS, WFS, and WFS-T services, with WFS-T supporting edits. QGIS Cloud also includes web and mobile clients and map printing at resolutions up to 1200 dpi. Database access is password protected and encrypted; Pro can restrict access to maps and services. Maps and services under Free accounts are public, and Free use is limited to non-commercial and non-government activity. QGIS Cloud Free costs nothing and includes unlimited public maps, one PostGIS 3.1 database, 50 MB total, and 10 concurrent database connections. QGIS Cloud Pro is billed at 65 Euro/month.
