The short version

  • Only Citymapper has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Citymapper citymapper's own App Store listing states live transit and turn-by-turn features work only in a named list of specific cities (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and dozens of other listed cities), not globally, per the developer's own description.; Trimble Mining trimble's mining technology page (trimble.com/construction/mining) publishes no pricing for any of its named mining products; every product and solution link on the page routes through a Contact Us action rather than a figure.
  • They diverge on capability: Citymapper covers Multi-modal routing, Trimble Mining covers Fleet management.
