Smappen Alternative — Free Radius Map

What Smappen Is

Smappen lets you create areas by travel time, distance, freehand drawing, or administrative boundaries such as ZIP codes and counties. Its free plan (available after sign-up, no credit card) includes a limited number of active areas, basic population figures, one POI search, up to 100 imported pins, and saved shareable maps. Paid plans (Essential, Pro and Advanced) are billed monthly with no commitment, and enhanced demographics come with the Pro and Advanced plans. Smappen also supports KML import and provides demographic and business data for seven countries.

Where Map With Radius Wins

Map With Radius targets users who want to draw a radius circle and leave. There is no account, no email verification, and no dashboard. The tool loads, you enter an address, and you draw.

We run on OpenStreetMap via Leaflet, so there is no API key to manage and no credentials to set up. If you need Smappen's demographic and business data, see Smappen's site for current features and pricing.

When Smappen Is Still the Right Choice

Map With Radius does not replace Smappen. If you need demographic and business data (Smappen's enhanced demographics come with its Pro and Advanced plans and cover seven countries), see Smappen's site for current features and pricing. We handle radius drawing and drive-time isochrones only. We do not offer demographics or population overlays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Smappen free?

Yes. Smappen offers a free plan after sign-up (no credit card) with a limited number of active areas, basic population figures, and saved shareable maps. Paid plans (Essential, Pro and Advanced) are billed monthly with no commitment and add enhanced demographics. See Smappen's site for current features and pricing.

Do I need an account to use Smappen?

Yes. Even the free tier requires signing up. Map With Radius does not require an account. You land on the tool and start drawing.

Can Map With Radius replace Smappen for business territory planning?

No. Smappen offers demographic and business data (its enhanced demographics come with the Pro and Advanced plans) that we do not replicate. If you need those features, see Smappen's site for current features and pricing. Map With Radius is focused on the radius-drawing and drive-time use case.

Is there a free alternative to Smappen for drive-time maps?

Yes. Our drive-time tool at /drive-time-map generates isochrones (drive-time or walking polygons) without an account, subscription, or credit. It does not include demographic data; for that, Smappen's paid tiers are necessary.
