Geocodio vs Mapbox: What are the differences?

What is Geocodio? Straightforward and easy-to-use geocoding, reverse geocoding, and data matching for US and Canadian addresses. Convert street addresses within the United States and Canada into map coordinates and map coordinates into addresses in a snap. Upload a spreadsheet or use our simple REST API.

What is Mapbox? Design and publish beautiful maps. We make it possible to pin travel spots on Pinterest, find restaurants on Foursquare, and visualize data on GitHub.

Geocodio and Mapbox can be categorized as "Mapping APIs" tools.

Some of the features offered by Geocodio are:

Batch geocoding
Spreadsheet geocoding
Partial address parsing

On the other hand, Mapbox provides the following key features:

Develop mobile and web applications with Mapbox.js, our open-source JavaScript library.
Build native applications on iOS with the Mapbox iOS SDK or on iOS and OS X with MBXMapKit.
Build native applications for Android. Use Mapbox, OpenStreetMap, and other tile sources in your app, as well as overlays like GeoJSON data and interactive tooltips.

Needs advice

From a StackShare Community member: "We're a team of two starting to write a mobile app. The app will heavily rely on maps and this is where my partner and I are not seeing eye-to-eye. I would like to go with an open source solution like OpenStreetMap that is used by Apple & Foursquare. He would like to go with Google Maps since more apps use it and has better support (according to him). Mapbox is also an option but I don’t know much about it."
