What ALIGN is
ALIGN is a cloud GIS platform for storing geospatial data, building maps and GIS applications, and publishing them. Its browser-based Map Builder can visualize, edit, style, transform, analyze, and publish data without desktop installation. Supported inputs include vector and raster data, WMS, WFS, GeoParquet, and other geospatial formats. Browser-based 3D support includes LiDAR point clouds, Gaussian splatting scenes, 3D Tiles, city meshes, terrain, and glTF models. The App Builder provides templates, configurable widgets, AI assistance, live preview, and MapLibre support. Team users can push projects to GitHub and deploy exported applications on their own infrastructure. Documented connections include Supabase for managed PostgreSQL with PostGIS, plus Mapillary, Google Street View, Mapbox, MapTiler, and GitHub. ALIGN says customer data is stored and served from the European Union and that traffic is encrypted via TLS. Free, Pro, and Team plans include community support and a feedback board; Pro is €39 a month and Team is €79 per editor licence per month, excluding VAT. A free plan and 14-day trial are listed.
