Mapnyx vs MapsIndoors
MapsIndoors, by MapsPeople, is a developer-oriented indoor mapping SDK that layers indoor maps and wayfinding onto base maps such as Google Maps and Mapbox. Mapnyx shares the developer focus but leads with a finished visitor experience — interactive 3D, place cards, QR handoff — driven by live venue data.
+0.00m / AT A GLANCE
| Mapnyx | MapsIndoors | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary wedge | The map is live venue data — booths and sessions render from the venue's own records | A developer SDK layering indoor maps onto Google Maps or Mapbox |
| Interactive 3D in the browser | Yes — own 3D venue engine | Renders on a general-purpose base map |
| Events & exhibitions depth | Lead vertical: exhibitor place cards, partner tiers, agenda-linked routing | Not a stated focus; strong in offices and campuses |
| Delivery model | Finished visitor navigator, plus an SDK | SDK-first — you build the experience |
| Try before talking to sales | Free tier: one venue, one floor | Not stated publicly |
| Track record | Early — one national-scale deployment to date | Mature SDKs with an established integration ecosystem |

WHAT MAPSINDOORS IS GOOD AT
SDK depth
MapsIndoors offers mature SDKs across web and mobile, built for teams embedding indoor maps into their own apps.
Familiar base maps
Building on Google Maps or Mapbox gives users a map idiom they already know, with outdoor context included.
Integration ecosystem
MapsPeople publicly showcases integrations with workplace and booking systems for offices and campuses.
WHERE VENUEOS DIFFERS
Product, not just SDK
Mapnyx ships a complete navigator visitors open from a link or QR — search, routes, place cards — plus an SDK; you are not building the experience from parts.
Own 3D venue engine
Mapnyx renders its own real-time 3D venues — halls, booths, floors — rather than layering onto a general-purpose base map.
Events-first live data
Expo floor plans render from booking records with partner tiers and mid-show updates — a use MapsIndoors' public materials do not centre on.
HONEST FIT
If your team wants a proven SDK on a familiar base map for an office or campus app, MapsIndoors is a solid pick. If you need a finished venue navigator this quarter — especially for an exhibition — Mapnyx gets you there without building an app first.
