The short version
- Only Mapbox has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Dassault Systemes GEOVIA 3ds.com's GEOVIA portfolio page names its product categories but every pricing action is a 'Contact us' link; no edition names, tiers or figures are published anywhere on the page; Mapbox data accuracy varies by region compared to Google Maps' global consistency
- They diverge on capability: Dassault Systemes GEOVIA covers Integrated mining platform, Mapbox covers Core Functionality.
