Map Styles
Styles API
Load basemap styles like Street, Light, Dark, and Satellite map or use custom-designed map styles. It allows your visitors to pan, zoom, see 3D terrain, and interact with the map without impacting your bill.
Data
Tiles API
Serve vector or raster data from your uploaded tilesets through a standard XYZ endpoint. Requests are counted when map clients load tiles as users move around the map.
Storage
Host and serve tilesets and datasets for free up to 1 GB total storage. Usage is calculated based on the total size of the datasets you keep hosted on each month.
FAQ
How do I get started with Mappinest?
What are the two main services you charge for?
Mappinest charges for two product areas: Map Styles and Tiles API. Map Styles are billed by StyleJSON loads, while Tiles API covers tile requests plus hosted storage. You can use either one on its own, or combine both in the same project.
What is a tile request?
A tile request is a single vector tile or raster tile fetched from the Tiles API. These requests follow the standard XYZ path pattern, and each tile load counts as one request.
What is a map style load?
A style load is counted when the StyleJSON document is requested to initialize a map. Panning, zooming, and 3D terrain do not add extra style loads.
What does hosted storage include?
Host and serve tilesets and datasets for free up to 1 GB total storage. This works well for small hosted datasets, demos, prototypes, and early production projects.
- Tilesets and datasets such as MBTiles, PMTiles, GeoJSON, and Shapefile
- Hosted inputs you want to serve through Mappinest endpoints
- Free plan: up to 10 files and 1 GB total storage
- Once storage goes above 1 GB, you need the Flex plan
- Uploads above 20 GB require the Pro plan — contact us to arrange custom storage
Do I need to host data to use Mappinest styles?
No. You can use the Styles API only and plug the style URL directly into your SDK.
Is everything pay-as-you-go?
Not exactly. Map style loads and tile requests use free monthly allowances and then overage billing in billing. Hosted storage follows plan rules. Stay on Free up to 1 GB, move to the Flex plan once storage goes above 1 GB, and uploads above 20 GB require the Pro plan. If you need more than 20 GB, contact us.
How can I control access and usage?
Use API tokens, restrict domains or tilesets, and monitor usage in Analytics. This keeps your costs and access predictable.
Which SDKs and platforms are supported?
Mappinest works with standard web map libraries and GIS clients, including Mapbox GL JS, MapLibre GL JS, Leaflet, OpenLayers, QGIS, and ArcGIS. See the overview documentation for how styles, tiles, and client integrations fit together.
What is included in Free, Flex, and Pro plans?
Free includes up to 10 file uploads, 1 GB of hosted storage, plus monthly allowances for map style loads and up to 300k tile requests.
Flex starts at $20/mo, is required once storage goes above 1 GB, and includes up to 50 file uploads, 20 GB storage, plus up to 5M tile requests with lower overage.
Pro is for storage above 20 GB or custom needs such as SLA, SSO, and private endpoints. See the pricing page for plan details.
Can I customize the standard styles?
Yes. Start from our standard map styles (Streets, Light, Dark, Satellite) and tweak them in Studio or treat them as a base for your own design.
Can I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans are flexible and you can change anytime. Annual commitments are optional and come with discounts.
