The short version

  • Only Mapbox Government has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: IAPro a public university's procurement documentation for IAPro (CI Technologies, acquired by Versaterm Public Safety in 2023) states the software is sold as an unlimited-use license covering all concurrent users and workstations with no additional or hidden licensing costs, and the first year of annual maintenance is included free; no dollar figure for that license was disclosed in the document, so total cost is not visible without a direct quote.; Mapbox Government the Navigation SDK free tier covers only up to 10 monthly active users, and 11 or more requires contacting sales
  • They diverge on capability: IAPro covers Case Management, Mapbox Government covers Custom Map Design.
