Mapscape vs tree·canopy
Pick Mapscape if the map figure for the planning application matters most, and pick tree·canopy if you want voice capture, a drafted narrative and published pricing.
Polished mapping-first arborist tool. Strong on the cartographic side; weaker on field-capture ergonomics and report drafting.

Where Mapscape is strong, and where we fit.
Mapscape produces some of the best-looking deliverables in the category. The map output, the constraints plan, the cartographic polish: all genuinely strong. If your client expects a beautiful figure on the planning application, Mapscape has been a safe choice.
The trade-off is the workflow leading up to that figure. Capture is still form-and-stylus. There’s no voice layer, no AI-drafted narrative, no self-service trial. You have to talk to sales to get a quote.
Mapscape pricing
Mapscape doesn’t publish its prices and has no self-service trial that we can find, so you speak to sales to get a number. tree·canopy lists its prices on the pricing page, starts on a monthly plan you can cancel any time, and your crew never uses a paid seat.
Which one should you pick?
Mapscape
- Your clients expect a polished map figure on every planning application
- Cartographic output matters more to you than capture speed on site
- You are fine getting a quote from sales
tree·canopy
- You want to say the tree on site and get a structured record and a drafted report
- You still need a constraints-plan overlay for the planning application
- You want published prices, a monthly plan and a trial you start yourself
