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 all standard GIS 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 all standard GIS geometry types (point, line, polygon, multi-geometry) and exports to 12 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 a free evaluation plan with 2 users, 1 project, 2 forms, and 1,000 records total — no credit card required. Field Eagle does not offer a public free tier.
