Mapfloors vs Mappedin
Mappedin is an established indoor mapping company with strong retail, airport and stadium customers. Mapfloors takes a different approach: a GIS underneath, open data on every plan, and a team that builds your first map for you.
| Topic | Mappedin | Mapfloors |
|---|---|---|
| Open exportsSource: mappedin.com/pricing, plan comparison | PDF only on the free plan. GeoJSON, SVG, glTF and IMDF export require Pro or above. | Most common formats, including IMDF, GeoJSON, GeoPackage and Shapefile, on every plan. |
| Accessible and turn-by-turn routingSource: mappedin.com/pricing, plan comparison | Listed as “Advanced Wayfinding” on the Enterprise plan. | Step-free routing included on every plan. |
| Building the first mapSource: mappedin.com/pricing | Map it yourself in the self-serve editor, or pay extra for professional map-making. | Our mapping team builds your first map as part of onboarding, from whatever drawings you have. |
| Map creation inputsSource: developer.mappedin.com, Maker FAQ | PNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF, DXF and DWG, plus LiDAR scans from an iOS app. | The same, plus IFC and Revit exports. |
| Importing your own geodataSource: developer.mappedin.com, Data Sync docs | Enterprise geodata sync, converted to Mappedin’s MVF format. | Import IMDF, GeoJSON and GeoPackage on every plan. |
| Outdoor and GIS contextSource: developer.mappedin.com, outdoor map and GIS exporter docs | Hosted outdoor basemap; GIS exports focus on MVF/GeoJSON and building footprints. | Built on Atlas GIS: your own basemaps, outdoor paths and routes that start at the street. |
| Syncing external dataSource: developer.mappedin.com, Data Sync docs | Data Sync pulls from your endpoint on a schedule, documented as nightly. | Live updates through webhooks and MQTT, or a sync on whatever schedule you need. |
| AI agentsSource: developer.mappedin.com | No official MCP server at the time of checking. | An MCP server, scoped by the same permissions as users. |
| After launchSource: app.mappedin.com sign-up, developer.mappedin.com demo keys | Self-serve Maker and the enterprise CMS are separate products with separate logins. | Choose managed updates or self-management. Both run on the same editor, so switching needs no migration. |

To be fair
When Mappedin might be the better fit
- A free self-serve plan, if you want to try mapping without talking to anyone.
- A long list of enterprise customers in shopping centres, airports and stadiums.
- Directory kiosks with built-in advertising and a hardware partner channel.
- Established Apple IMDF and Microsoft Places programmes.
- Many years of production use and an independently audited accessibility programme.
Moving from another platform?
Mapfloors imports IMDF and GeoJSON, so maps you’ve already built don’t have to be redrawn.
