Where each one falls short

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

Felt

Felt publishes no prices for Professional or Enterprise, so buyers cannot compare against ArcGIS Online or QGIS with hosting without entering a sales process
Paid tiers are annual contract only with no monthly option, which excludes consultancies that need a tool for a single short engagement and forces them to the free non-commercial tier they are not licensed to use for client work
The API, JavaScript SDK and live warehouse connections are enterprise-only, so a mid-sized team that wants programmatic access has to buy the top tier rather than pay for one capability
Analytical depth is limited: there is no meaningful geoprocessing, topology checking or model building, so Felt sits beside a real GIS rather than replacing one
The Professional tier caps data processing at 25 GB a month and map views at 100,000 a month, which are easy to exceed with raster imagery or a public-facing map, and the overage terms are not published either

Mappedin

Location naming is the leading source of integration failures, requiring manual cleanup of AI-generated labels
Multi-building campus maps not supported for Microsoft Places integration
No native digital signage CMS for integrated sign management
Limited analytics capabilities compared to competitors in complex enterprise environments
