General Engineer Defense & Space Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great tool for determining where to live" April 23, 2021 5.0 I'm solving my personal problem of determining where to live relative to my workplace and other places I care about. I want to limit my driving time for places I frequent, and OALLEY elegantly solves this problem for me by plotting the area that keeps my driving time within acceptable limits. Pros I came across OALLEY because I was searching for software that could do what no other mapping application could -- show me what areas are within a certain driving time, relative to a chosen address. I love how simple OALLEY makes this. It makes it seem so easy that it's astounding Google hasn't already done this. Yet OALLEY is as far as I can tell the only application that lets you see this information. Cons I'm not a commercial user, so I deal with the small annoyances that come from using a free trial version of software. However, those aside, I can't see anything negative about this application. It does exactly what it's supposed to, and probably a lot more for commercial applications. Review Source TB Troy B. Business Development Manager Security and Investigations Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy and Complete" November 18, 2025 5.0 Smappen has made it easy to see our territories and areas of coverage around the country. Exposing the areas where we need coverage based on populations has been very helpful. Pros Smappen was just what we needed to map out territories. It was very intuitive and easy to use. I tried a few different apps and this one was the easiest. Cons I'd prefer to have the ability to share my smappen map with others while on the lowest price subscription plan. Alternatives considered [MapBusinessOnline](https://www.capterra.com/p/124748/Map-Business-Online/)[MAPCON](https://www.capterra.com/p/33168/MAPCON/)[Google Maps](https://www.capterra.com/p/227511/Google-Maps/) Reason for choosing smappen Smappen was easy to figure out and met all of our needs, although we don't use all of smappen's features. Review Source JM Jeff M. Air Traffic Control Training Analyst Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tried other apps like it, Smappen is consistently my top choice" April 30, 2026 5.0 This has been a major tool that has had a big impact on both professional and personal planning. This information has helped make business decisions as well as housing decisions in my personal life. This tool is amazingly accessible and could be more complicated (which would scare entry level users away.) It has a perfect balance between utility and ease of use which is a great way to describe a tool that you keep in your toolbox and use often. Pros Smappen continues to be the clear winner as a tool that provides the data that I can't get from other similar websites. It's ease of use combined with it's straight forward approach to mapping distances as they relate to different modes of transportation makes me keep coming back. This is a valuable tool that I will continue to utilize into the future. Cons On rare occasions it takes me a few moments to remember how to generate a starting point and the requested metric I'm looking for. I'm not sure if this means it's not as intuitive as it could be or if I'm just rushing and filling in the first box I see with an address. This is only a minor slowdown and once I get defamiliarized, I don't have ongoing problems Review Source RR Ryan R. VP of Asset Management Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very easy to use network mapping" April 29, 2021 4.0 A++ Pros Ease of use to display driving distance. Cons You can not currently map in miles. I would like to see easy to pull demographics included in the free version. Review Source LG Lexie G. Director of Operations Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Smappen Is easy to use" March 5, 2026 5.0 Pros We have been using Smappen for mapping our inspectors areas they want to work in and then overlap the others so we can see our full coverage area. It has been so helpful and easy to use. Cons nothing. we have been very happy with everything thus far and do not have any complaints whatsoever. Review Source RD Ramon D. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A walk to the park" December 27, 2025 5.0 I was able to use Smappen very effectively to communicate an analysis of walkability to parks. This was done by our youth participants in high school and guided by our adult mentors. We are presenting the results to the City Council to get them to provide more places to play ball that are within walking distance. Pros It was easy to use and very quick to implement into reports and studies. The use of multiple areas helped us study how different parks were close to different neighborhoods. We were able to compare walking and biking accessibility. Cons The limits on the free accounts. Also it would be good to know more if Smappen offers free versions for non-profits.

Co-Founder Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Smappen - A Game Changer for Franchisors" March 14, 2025 5.0 Smappen has been a game-changer for our franchise development process! Their intuitive territory mapping software makes it easy to define and optimize franchise territories with precision. The access to key points of interest helps us make data-driven decisions, and the ability to generate branded reports adds a professional touch when presenting to clients. Smappen has streamlined our workflow and improved how we communicate territory insights—highly recommend! Pros The easy-to-define territories, points of interest, and custom reports. Cons Currently it is not available in Southeast Asia. Review Source BK Bruce K. Account Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product" December 3, 2025 5.0 Great! Its a great product. Nothing. There was a time when the site was down. But i had no complaints about Smappen. I would highly recommend it. Pros It was easy to use. The mapping made sense. Great graphics and easy to enter the filters. I would use it again. Cons Nothing. There was a time when the site was down. But i had no complaints about Smappen. I would highly recommend it. Review Source AW Adrian W. Operations Director Performing Arts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic software!" September 9, 2025 5.0 Brilliant so far. We've just created our initial mapping around the local area; utilising both Smappen and our data. Pros It's so easy to use and affordable for companies such as our starting their franchise journey. The customer service and onboarding was fantastic as well! Cons We were concerned at first that Smappen couldn't map the whole of the UK; instead mapping on an individual territory basis. However, it transpires that this isn't an issue at all. Review Source Christopher A. Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful but easy to use Mapping Software" October 16, 2023 4.0 Pros We were able to quickly build radiuis' from a clients location within a minute or two which would normally take hours of manually pinning on Google Mapps Cons It would be useful for more information on the free tier Review Source MM Matthew M. Warehouse @ Inventory Manager Utilities Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "No more Google maps" January 19, 2022 5.0 Awesome - game changer, well done guys. Pros Was stuffing around on Google maps trying to work out how far my team could go in a certain time frame, stumbled on Oalley which completely changed the game, easy to use, and well presented for adding to reports etc. Gave me a lot better understanding of what areas we could operate in from each warehouse. Cons None. From what i have seen i cannot fault this product. Review Source RF Richard F. Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "first time user" April 30, 2025 5.0 fantastic people to deal with, great meetings to show me the product, on hand when you have an issue, very good product Pros the detail you can delve into, which is ideal for the business i am in. fantastic people on hand to help whenever needed Cons the more data wanted the more the cost goes up, especially when you want just over the threshold other than that non Review Source KO Ken O. Sales Building Materials Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Franchise Sales Company Co-Founder" February 21, 2025 5.0 Love it!!!!! I have used many other mapping software and this is the best! Pros I love how easy it is to navigate for a new user like me. Someone who often struggles with new things when it comes to computers. Cons Only "Con" I can think of is that it cannot yet read my mind to do what I need without it asking. Review Source JG Jon G. Mergers and Acquisitions Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great For Displaying and Comprehending Data" December 4, 2024 5.0 Gret so far. I scheduled a meeting with Marion who was very nice and helped us get going on the platform. Pros It is a very user intuitive platform. It is easy to understand for those using the software and for those trying to understand the data coming from the system. Cons Sometimes switching between points of interest and the data is glitchy and does not populate automatically. Review Source FC Filip C. Head of Airport transfers Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great and easy to use" July 26, 2024 5.0 Pros The ability to quickly visualise and map accessible roads Cons The free tier limitations can be bothersome, not every location enables overlay of information. Review Source CF Christian F. Marketing Specialist Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product for my company" October 19, 2023 5.0 Very postive. Smappen is a great service and has been a great solution for my company. Im very happy with Smappen Pros Smappen is great. It allows us to create very focused data for our outreach efforts and company expansion. In just over a year, Smappen has changed so much and added so many features. The added features have made Smappen so much more valuable, and easy to justify for my company. Cons It used to be a bit limited, but so many great features, like searching for different locations, and population data have made the app so much more useful and applicable for a wider range of projects. I just wish with the points of interest feature that the data was a bit more fine-tuned. Sometimes some irrelevant businesses and organizations end up in the data set. I'm sure this will improve as time goes on tough, since it's a relatively new feature. Reason for choosing smappen n/a Review Source FH Franz H. Data Analyst Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy, straightforward, and reliable" June 22, 2021 5.0 So far, Oalley has added great value to our operations and completely solved our need to quickly and reliably create customized maps. Those customized maps can be further edited and modified, and that really helps to visualize the data better and also to convey more information more effectively. Pros What I like most about Oalley is that it covers one specific need really well: the need to quickly and reliably generate customized maps. Nothing more (so it doesn't overwhelm), but also nothing less (so it doesn't disappoint). As a data analyst, I work mainly with spreadsheets, but occasionally I do need a map to help visualize the data more effectively. ArcGIS is too sophisticated and Google Maps too basic, and that's where Oalley really provides the best solution. For example, within minutes I can create a commute radius for a given restaurant in Miami, then simply screenshot it and add it to my spreadsheet. Cons Sometimes the address of a location on Oalley shows up slightly differently than on Google Maps, maybe that's due to abbreviations - but definitely something to look out for. Also, I realize that the "truck" function is currently only available in France, but if Oalley can make the "truck" function also available in the US, that'd be greatly appreciated :) Review Source PH Peter H. Appraiser Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Appraisal Mapping" July 27, 2023 5.0 Pros I utilize drive time mapping for retail property valuation to understand the scope of each location. The ease of use allows me to capture data for each property. Cons The program saves any data entry, so I do need to go back and remove the prior mapping aspects before charting the next property. Review Source SS Sepanta S. Networks Coordinator Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool!" July 31, 2023 5.0 Pros I love using Smappen at work to better localize our clients and providers. The "Area Type" and "Travel mode" functions are extremely efficient and representative of 'true' distances. Cons Sometimes, Smappen can't find an exact address typed in the "Starting Address" field and will only select either the street or the city in the address, so hopefully, this bug will be fixed soon. Review Source MD Michael D. Managing Partner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product for the Price" July 28, 2023 5.0 They have been extremely helpful and have gone out of their way to help us add new features. Pros I love being able to map my customer base to determine market size as I look at future locations. Also it is extremely helpful to look at and evaluate new territories that we do not have an in depth knowledge of. Cons Sometimes addresses do not show and I must use GPS. Reason for choosing smappen The customer service, ease of use, and price. Review Source Taylor C. Sales and Design Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Simple and Effective" July 24, 2023 5.0 Pros I used Smappen primarily to mark out areas of travel near to a new business start up which I work for. Simply being able to map our area by hours of travel was great! We found several areas on the map were closer than we had thought and were able to focus in on a specific distance range. Cons I was unsure about the practical application use of many of the extra features, even though there are pop-ups and emails which try to sell you on those features. To be honest, I would rather the Geofencing tool be free with some ads on the side than have more complex features try to be shoved to me. Review Source GJ Glenn J. President Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Smappen helps plan my travel" July 24, 2023 5.0 I am not using smappen as a business. I use it to plan my travels in my retirement. I only like to drive about 6 hours a day on my trips and smappen gives me a map of where I need to look for a stopping point within a 6 hour range from my starting point. Other mapping software's do not do this well but with smappen it is very easy. Pros It is easy to use for what I need it for. Cons Have not used it enough to form a list of pros and cons Review Source AS Andy S. Director Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wow" February 10, 2021 5.0 I have been searching for this software for years! I organise events. Festivals, light trails etc. Finding new locations used to involve an awful lot of calculating and research. With Oalley I can plot my competitors on the map and quickly find gaps in the market. The results it has found us in just a few days will save us from costly missteps. The only alternatives I could find required employing an agency (far more costly and slow an likely worse results) or training to use some very confusing and expensive software. Oalley is nothing short of incredible. It is exactly what I needed and produces fantastic results. And the UI.. it is so simple! Pros Quick and simple with a user interface which has clearly been thought through - clear of clutter, intuitive and (for what it's worth) pleasing on the eye. Cons It would be good to upload multiple location points as a batch for calculation. Review Source JA Jesus A. Residential Project Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great product" September 28, 2023 4.0 Pros It was great to find the information I needed! Cons Have a tutorial on here or youtube to help beginners. Review Source EF Eric F. Investment Analyst Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Thank you!" December 7, 2021 5.0 Pros You provide a software application that is direct, easy to use, easy to deploy and user friendly. The output isn't hidden behind irritable paywalls. This is a major value add to our operations and a product I go out of my way to share with industry colleagues. You created something of value and appropriately share your product with consumers for a fair and efficient cost. Cons For my purpose, your product has left little to ask for.
