Proxi vs Scribble Maps

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.

Scribble Maps is a web-based map-authoring platform for finding, creating, editing, annotating, embedding, and using maps, with Android and iOS support. It imports place-related spreadsheets, lists, and geodata in CSV, GeoJSON, and KML formats. Map tools include markers, lines, circles, donut and drive-time polygons, data filters, heat maps, measurement, and route optimization. Maps can be shared or embedded, and several users can work on one simultaneously. Its Connect Map Picker can integrate into web apps and return map data in formats including GeoJSON, KML, CSV, GPX, DXF, and Shapefile. Encryption uses AES-256 with PBKDF2 and takes place on the user's computer, but encrypted maps lack autosave, server-generated images, and listed-format exports; lost passwords cannot be recovered. The free plan allows one user, five lifetime map saves, and 450×450px images. Paid plans start at $14/mo (annual), and a 7-day trial is listed.
