The short version

  • Only Mappedin has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: exactEarth exactEarth's own homepage, as captured by the Internet Archive on 28 December 2021, carried a banner stating: 'We are happy to announce that exactEarth is now part of Spire Global,' confirming in the vendor's own words that exactEarth was absorbed into Spire (now sold as Kpler's spireMT product); no independent exactEarth pricing survives; Mappedin location naming is the leading source of integration failures, requiring manual cleanup of AI-generated labels
  • They diverge on capability: exactEarth covers Satellite AIS data, Mappedin covers Core Functionality.
