MapTiler Cloud vs Proxi

MapTiler Cloud is a maps API for developers building web and mobile applications. It lets users adjust language, colors, and fonts for branded maps, upload raster or vector geodata for processing, and publish maps online. Supported file types include GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, and Shapefile. The map editor can add points, lines, polygons, and annotations for use through an API. Location services include search and geocoding between place names or addresses and coordinates. The platform offers APIs for maps, tiles, static maps, geocoding, elevation, weather, IP geolocation, coordinates, and data. It supports raster tiles with Leaflet, OpenLayers, or XYZ, vector tiles with MapTiler SDK, and WMTS for QGIS or ArcGIS. Swift and Kotlin SDKs are available for native iOS and Android apps. The Free plan is for testing, personal, or non-commercial use and includes 5 GB storage, 5k sessions per month, and 100k API requests per month. Paid plans start at $30/mo. If a Free quota is reached, service pauses until the next month unless the account is upgraded.

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.
