FEATURE COMPARISON

Not Just Maps. A Territory System Your Whole Team Can Use.

Both tools draw radius and drive-time maps, build heatmaps, and layer in demographics. What changes is how you get the job done.

Build a territory. Smappen: open a browser and draw by drive time, distance, or zip code. Maptitude: open the desktop app on the licensed machine.
Hand a candidate their market. Smappen: share a link or a white-label report. Maptitude: export and email a file.
Get the latest data. Smappen: it’s already there. Maptitude: buy the upgrade.

Data Accessibility

The Data You Need to Size a Territory and Defend It.

Both platforms go deep on US demographics, down to the ZIP code. Smappen adds 25+ million points of interest, so you can see competitors, anchor businesses, and traffic drivers on the same map you’re drawing on.

And your market’s data comes with your plan. No country package to buy. No add-on to unlock the numbers you were already paying to map.

User Interface

An Intuitive App Built for Franchisors.

Maptitude installs on a Windows desktop, on the one machine that holds the license. No mapping from a laptop or phone, no new hire without another install and license, no two people in the same territory file at once.

Smappen runs in your browser. Nothing to install, any device, your whole team live in the same territories.

Smappen also asks you to think like a franchisor, not an analyst. Draw a territory by drive time, distance, or zip code. See who lives there: population, household income, age. Map a territory in minutes. Send it to your candidate before the call ends.

With Maptitude, learning support runs 60 days, updates are a paid upgrade, and skipping a year means working off old data.

With Smappen, support is real people by chat, email, and phone, for as long as you’re a customer. Data and features update on their own. You’re always working with the latest, and you never get an invoice for it.
