Maptive Alternative — Free Radius Maps Without a $250 Plan

Maptive is a paid data-mapping platform used by sales teams and territory managers. If you need a free radius map without a $250-per-user annual plan or a 10-day trial countdown, here's how Map With Radius compares.

What Maptive Is

Maptive is a paid B2B mapping platform headquartered in Denver, Colorado, under CEO Brad Crisp. Its core value proposition is plotting spreadsheet data (CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets) onto a map for sales territory management, route optimization, heatmaps, and clustering. It runs on Google Maps. Radius mapping is one feature inside a broader data-visualization product aimed at business teams.

Pricing & Access

Maptive is paid-only. There are four to five pricing editions, starting at $250 per user per year and rising to $2,500+ per year for team tiers. A 10-day free trial is available; after it ends, the account reverts to a limited free state rather than a genuine free tier. Every plan includes every feature — tiers differ only by user count, data capacity, and support level. An account is required.

Where Map With Radius Wins

Maptive assumes you have spreadsheet data to plot and a team to share it with. Map With Radius assumes you have an address and a distance, and is shaped accordingly.

There is no account creation, no trial countdown, and no per-user annual billing. For one-off or occasional radius tasks, no billing commitment is necessary.

We run on OpenStreetMap via Leaflet rather than Google Maps. For anyone embedding the tool on their own site, that removes the Google Maps API pricing and quota concerns entirely.

When Maptive Is Still the Right Choice

Maptive is the right tool when radius mapping is only part of the job. If you need to upload a spreadsheet of customers, plot them on a map, segment them into territories, assign territories to sales reps, and share the result with a team, Maptive's paid plans are built for that workflow. We do not plot spreadsheet data, do not manage territories, and do not offer team collaboration.
