WHY TEAMS SWITCH

Why Teams Choose Mapalyze Over Field Eagle

Before — WITH FIELD EAGLE
"Our field teams do more than inspections — we needed task management, incident tracking, and data collection in one tool."
FIELD TEAM
After — WITH MAPALYZE
Mapalyze is a complete field operations platform: inspections, tasks, incidents, asset tracking, team chat, and AI — all in one app.
MAPALYZE
Before — WITH FIELD EAGLE
"We needed to capture complex GIS geometries, not just inspection points."
FIELD TEAM
After — WITH MAPALYZE
Capture 6 geometry types (points, lines, polygons, multi-geometries) with full GIS export to GeoJSON, Shapefile, and 9 other formats.
MAPALYZE
Before — WITH FIELD EAGLE
"Building inspection forms was slow and rigid."
FIELD TEAM
After — WITH MAPALYZE
AI form builder generates forms from natural language descriptions. Drag-and-drop editor for fine-tuning. Deploy in minutes, not days.
MAPALYZE
Before — WITH FIELD EAGLE
"Offline mode was unreliable for remote sites."
FIELD TEAM
After — WITH MAPALYZE
True offline-first architecture with encrypted local database. Every record exists locally first — no connection needed, no data loss.

FAQ

Common questions about
switching from Field Eagle.

Yes. Mapalyze supports custom inspection forms with required fields, photo capture, GPS tagging, digital signatures, and a full audit trail. Plus, you get task management, incident tracking, and AI-powered analysis on top.

Yes, with a true offline-first architecture. Unlike cached offline forms, Mapalyze stores every record in an encrypted local database (SQLCipher AES-256). Work offline for days — data syncs automatically when you reconnect.

Mapalyze captures 6 geometry types (point, line, polygon, multi-point, multi-line, multi-polygon) and exports to 11 formats including GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML, and GeoPackage. Field Eagle primarily captures GPS point locations.

You can recreate your inspection templates using Mapalyze's drag-and-drop form builder or use the AI form builder to generate forms from descriptions. Historical data can be imported via CSV.

Yes. The Explorer plan is free forever with up to 3 projects and 500 records — no credit card required. Field Eagle does not offer a public free tier.
