The short version
- Only IndoorAtlas has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: HERE WeGo hERE WeGo is a free navigation app whose public transport guidance covers only more than 1,900 named cities worldwide, per the developer's own App Store description; other regions rely on driving/walking directions and offline maps only.; IndoorAtlas requires labor-intensive fingerprinting process, walking every corridor to build magnetic map for each venue

HERE WeGo
- HERE WeGo is a free navigation app whose public transport guidance covers only more than 1,900 named cities worldwide, per the developer's own App Store description; other regions rely on driving/walking directions and offline maps only.
IndoorAtlas
- Requires labor-intensive fingerprinting process, walking every corridor to build magnetic map for each venue
- Magnetic signatures degrade over time, requiring periodic re-fingerprinting as the environment changes
- Magnetic interference from external sources and devices disrupts positioning accuracy
- Positioning inconsistent across different smartphone models due to magnetometer heterogeneity
- High cost to deploy and maintain, with expensive implementation for wide-scale adaptation

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
IndoorAtlas: How does IndoorAtlas determine positioning without beacons or hardware?
IndoorAtlas uses patented geomagnetic fusion technology that maps the Earth's magnetic field patterns inside buildings through a process called magnetic fingerprinting. The technology combines magnetometer data with other sensors like WiFi and Bluetooth for robust positioning.
SourceIndoorAtlas: What is the initial setup process for IndoorAtlas?
Setup requires fingerprinting the venue by systematically walking through all corridors and spaces to build a magnetic map. The platform then identifies problematic areas through red (conflicting data), blue (insufficient coverage), and path orientation errors that require correction before the map is production-ready.
SourceIndoorAtlas: What are IndoorAtlas's pricing plans?
IndoorAtlas offers production subscriptions starting at 349 euros per month per venue, with a development plan at 400 euros per month. A free tier is available for developers to start building.
SourceIndoorAtlas: How accurate is IndoorAtlas positioning?
IndoorAtlas claims industry-leading accuracy down to 50 centimeters using its 6-layer sensor fusion core across diverse environments, though accuracy varies based on building magnetic patterns and requires careful calibration.
