The short version

Only Atlas.co has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Atlas.co analytical depth is a long way short of a mature GIS: there is no serious raster analysis, network analysis, topology editing or geodetic control, so complex work still goes back to QGIS or ArcGIS.; HERE WeGo hERE WeGo is a free navigation app whose public transport guidance covers only more than 1,900 named cities worldwide, per the developer's own App Store description; other regions rely on driving/walking directions and offline maps only.
They diverge on capability: Atlas.co covers Browser GIS, HERE WeGo covers Core Functionality.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Atlas.co

Analytical depth is a long way short of a mature GIS: there is no serious raster analysis, network analysis, topology editing or geodetic control, so complex work still goes back to QGIS or ArcGIS.
Geocoding and workflow runs are metered per tier, and a single large address batch can exhaust a month’s Pro allowance in one afternoon, forcing an upgrade for a one-off job.
The company is at pre-seed stage with roughly $2m raised and a small team, so buyers embedding it in a business process carry meaningful continuity risk.
Annual billing is required to get the advertised prices, which removes the flexibility that would otherwise make a young vendor a low-risk trial.
There is no offline or field capability at all, so any organisation whose spatial work includes data collection needs a second tool alongside it.

HERE WeGo

HERE WeGo is a free navigation app whose public transport guidance covers only more than 1,900 named cities worldwide, per the developer's own App Store description; other regions rely on driving/walking directions and offline maps only.
