Mapbox vs WeCanTrack

Mapbox

Mapbox is a location-data platform offering Directions, Geocoding, Maps, and related APIs for turn-by-turn routing, address search, and interactive map rendering. Its endpoints are built for direct browser use — authenticated with an access_token query parameter and served with CORS enabled — rather than requiring a server-side proxy. A generous free tier covers most hobby and prototype usage, with pay-as-you-go pricing and volume discounts taking over once monthly limits are exceeded.

WeCanTrack

WeCanTrack is an affiliate-marketing attribution service whose Public Clickout API rewrites an outbound affiliate link with a tracking sub-ID before redirecting the shopper, letting merchants tie clicks back to conversions across 450+ affiliate networks. Every call carries a per-account API key (via header or query string), and the public clickout endpoint is IP-throttled to 30 requests/minute to keep redirect latency low. There's no ongoing free tier — plans start at $69/month after a 15-day trial.
