  },
});

No Code Map App embeds are iframes and nothing else, so the page hosting the map has no way to render anything inside it. Its two fixed popup styles are what your visitors get.

When No Code Map App is the better fit

A fair comparison cuts both ways. There are things No Code Map App genuinely does more of:

• You want to build whole maps by chatting with an AI — their chat can generate styles, legends, and boundary areas from prompts, which goes further than Mapsemble’s AI (ours focuses on generating popup and card templates).
• You need audio embeds or Google Calendar events on your map.
• You want heatmap layers out of the box.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my own Google Maps API key with Mapsemble?

No. Mapsemble does not run on Google Maps, so there is no API key to create and no Google Cloud billing account to manage. No Code Map App charges $0.01 per map view unless you set up and maintain your own Google Maps API key.

Can I embed a map on the free Mapsemble plan?

Yes. Embedding is free on Mapsemble: every plan, the free one included, embeds the map on your own website, on as many sites as you like. No Code Map App charges $12 a month for a share link and $24 a month before you can embed at all.

How do the AI features compare?

They aim at different things. No Code Map App leans on AI chat to build and style maps from prompts. Mapsemble uses AI to generate designed popup and card templates from your data — the part visitors actually see and click. If chat-driven map building matters most to you, No Code Map App does more there.

Is the Mapsemble embed an iframe?

No — and that is deliberate. An iframe is a second web page loaded inside yours: its own document, its own stylesheets and scripts to download, its own scrollbars, and a fixed box your layout has to work around. Mapsemble uses a small JavaScript widget instead, which injects the map component straight into your page inside a shadow DOM. Nothing extra to load, styles stay isolated, the map sizes itself to your layout, and visitors scroll through it as part of the page. No Code Map App embeds are iframe-only.

Can I define my own fields and filters?

Yes, on every plan including the free one. You define your own fields and choose a filter type per field — text search, autocomplete, number, range slider, date range, option checkboxes or proximity search. No Code Map App generates filters automatically from your data columns, and those columns are capped at 20 on every plan below $149 per month.

Can Mapsemble read data straight from my own server?

Yes. On Pro you can point Mapsemble at your own API as a remote data source: it queries your endpoint every time a visitor pans, zooms, filters or pages, so nothing has to be imported or kept in sync. You can also take rendering over entirely — on Pro the featureRenderer callback lets your own JavaScript draw every card and popup. No Code Map App syncs on a schedule instead (weekly to every four weeks from $49 per month, daily or real-time at $149) and, being iframe-only, gives the host page no way to render cards or popups itself.

Is there an annual discount?

Yes — Mapsemble plans are cheaper on annual billing. No Code Map App offers monthly billing only.
