Mappedin is the most established name in indoor mapping for malls, stadiums, and large venues. Floorable is the newer entrant that combines mapping with facility operations. Both platforms deliver high-quality indoor maps, but they serve different primary use cases, and the right choice depends on whether you need a pure mapping platform or a spatial operations system.
Mappedin excels at map aesthetics and visitor-facing wayfinding. Its map styling is among the best in the industry — clean, branded, and visually consistent across kiosk, web, and mobile. Mappedin powers some of the world's largest venues, including Simon Malls, LAX, and Major League Baseball stadiums. For a single-venue deployment where the primary requirement is a beautiful visitor-facing map, Mappedin is a strong choice.
Floorable matches Mappedin on map quality while adding operational capabilities that Mappedin does not offer. Floorable includes native spatial ticketing (create maintenance tickets by pinning the location on the map), asset tracking, visitor management with QR check-in, and AI-powered map creation from existing PDFs and CAD files. Mappedin's focus is the map. Floorable's focus is what the map enables.
The pricing models diverge significantly. Mappedin uses per-map pricing: approximately $1,980/month for the first map, with additional maps at $1,650/month each. For a 4-floor building, that is roughly $83,160/year. Floorable uses seat-based pricing: $150/month (Starter, 10 seats) to $791/month (Elite, 200 seats) with unlimited floors included. For multi-floor and multi-building portfolios, Floorable is 5-10x more cost-effective.
Deployment speed is another differentiator. Mappedin deployments typically take 4-8 weeks with professional services support for map creation. Floorable's AI ingestion pipeline processes existing floor plans in minutes, enabling self-service deployment in 14 days or less. For organizations that need maps live quickly, Floorable's zero-professional-services model is a significant advantage.
Where Mappedin wins: single-venue retail and hospitality deployments where map aesthetics are the primary concern, the budget allows for professional services, and there is no requirement for integrated maintenance ticketing or asset tracking. Where Floorable wins: multi-floor, multi-building portfolios; venues that need both visitor wayfinding and staff operations; organizations with existing floor plans that want to go live quickly without professional services; and deployments where total cost of ownership is a deciding factor.
A hospital evaluating indoor mapping illustrates the difference. Mappedin could provide beautiful patient wayfinding maps but would require a separate CMMS for maintenance ticketing — two platforms, two contracts, no data sharing. Floorable provides both in one platform at a lower total cost. The hospital can deploy wayfinding for patients and spatial ticketing for maintenance on the same map, from the same vendor, under a single subscription.
Both platforms are capable, but they are not direct competitors in the traditional sense. Mappedin competes in the visitor mapping category. Floorable competes in the broader spatial operations category that includes mapping, wayfinding, ticketing, asset tracking, and visitor management. If you only need a map, Mappedin delivers. If you need a map plus everything that happens on it, Floorable is the more complete platform.
