Top Rated Mapbox Mobile Alternatives
The library contains everything we need to draw different objects, rotated overlay images, or popup message windows above the map they provided.
Also, you can apply different styles to the map, and change the properties of the objects on the map.
You can use not only standard MapBox maps but also integrate OpenStreetMap maps, by example. You only need to know the proper URL of the map tiles server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Official documentation could be wider and deeper.
Although Mapbox provides docs with help of practical examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mapbox is one of the largest providers of custom designed maps for websites and mobile apps. Their service is used by GitHub, Pinterest, Foursquare, and other popular companies. And Mapbox moves with the times, offering advanced features such as geospatial mapping and augmented reality (AR).
The majority of data Mapbox uses is openly available, and Mapbox supports a community of volunteer mappers. They often provide the freshest updates, including fast-changing location data. Mapbox data sources include OpenStreetMap (OSM), USGS, Landsat, Natural Earth, and OpenAddresses.
Mapbox offers many tools to help you integrate maps and other Mapbox online web mapping services – such as Directions, Geocoding, and Static Images – into a mobile app. In order to keep the Maps SDKs for iOS and Android small, Mapbox provides different APIs for interfacing with Mapbox web services: the Mapbox Directions API, Geocoding API, and Static Images API.

Relatively weak coverage. There are many places where Google has better coverage than OSM based services. The reason for this is mainly the fact that Google Maps gets continuous updates. In India and Israel, for example, Google Maps will be a better option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used Mapbox for one of our biggest client's project in Sweden. Even though I was new to Mapbox, the Documentation & platform, Data sets, tiles, designing part, and Api were so easy to understand and implement. A dedicated technical support system also gives a significant edge as compared to other platforms. I have also used Mapbox Api in my final year project and in my personal portfolio.

The only thing that I realize is, the application becomes a bit slow when we add large number of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a developer, we rely heavily on proper documentation when reviewing tools to implement in our software. Very well documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's still very much new and not so widely used, therefore, many solutions to problems won't be found online. You can always try to contact support though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Vision SDK offers a nice AR view while driving that’s not too distracting. One example is the the persistent arrow shown on the road which points to the destination and appears under vehicles on the route as to not obstruct the driver’s view of any vehicles in front.

There is a learning curve, at least for our team, getting the Kotlin tester code to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mapbox is easy to implement, offers great resolution and is very well documented. Also, it is super easy to customise map styles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The website is not intuitive. It can be confusing for new users to navigate the documentation and really discover products, styles and tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
