The short version

  • Each has a real cost: GraphHopper the free plan is non commercial use only; 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: GraphHopper covers Core Functionality, Trimble Mining covers Fleet management.

Where each one falls short

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

GraphHopper

  • The free plan is non commercial use only
  • Free allows 500 credits a day, 5 locations per request and a single vehicle
  • Request complexity is capped per plan, at 30 locations and 2 vehicles on Basic at 69 EUR a month, rising to 200 locations and 20 vehicles on Premium at 479 EUR
  • Isochrone range is limited by plan, at 15 minutes on Basic and 30 on Premium
  • Credits are a daily allowance, so a busy day cannot draw on a quiet one

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.
