If you're strapped for cash, there are some lower-priced alternatives in the OSM ecosystem. https://thunderforest.com/ https://thunderforest.com/ , for example, has map tiles available in vector and raster forms, and https://www.graphhopper.com/ https://www.graphhopper.com/ is a full-featured alternative to the Mapbox routing stack. You can always self-host, too, whether for map rendering or routing or whatever. (Not to detract from Mapbox, whose product line is amazing and who have some of the smartest engineers out there.)

Mapzen is also excellent (although definitely less mature than Mapbox), and a huge chunk of their stack is open source.

  At Mapzen, all our code is open source, from front-end UIs to back-end "glue." Have a look at: - web and mobile SDKs: http://github.com/mapzen/ http://github.com/mapzen/ - map rendering library: http://github.com/tangrams http://github.com/tangrams - map tiles: https://github.com/tilezen/ https://github.com/tilezen/ - routing/navigation: https://github.com/valhalla/ https://github.com/valhalla/ - public transit: https://github.com/transitland/ https://github.com/transitland/ - search/geocoding: http://github.com/pelias http://github.com/pelias - gazetteer: https://github.com/whosonfirst https://github.com/whosonfirst FWIW, we do have a few private repos, to protect some ops internals as well as upcoming blog posts. (I work at Mapzen -- and am also a happy user of Mapbox's open-source libraries.)

    Yup. I've checked out a bunch of those – and have actually contributed to pelias/api (and a dependency, addressit). Everything I've seen so far has been clean and pretty easy to follow. Really appreciate the work you all do. I'm a very happy Mapzen customer.

    Mapzen is an awesome company. I'm excited to see what comes of OpenTraffic, a Mapzen-sponsored, open-source traffic speed data set: https://github.com/opentraffic/ https://github.com/opentraffic/
