As of today, some indiemapper users will have their 30-day free trials expire. We’ve been so happy that so many people have tried indiemapper to see how it could help them create beautiful maps faster and easier than ever before. We hope all of you have found the value in indiemapper to become monthly or yearly subscribers to continue to use indiemapper for a very long time.

However, we understand that with the current expectations towards web-based software, we cannot make indiemapper an all-or-nothing proposition. For many of our users, indiemapper exceeds their needs or their budget while others may be waiting for a specific feature before they can fully adopt the software.

Therefore, today, we are launching indiemapper lite, a stripped-down version of indiemapper, available free of charge. If your account expires and you have not subscribed to indiemapper, you will automatically be downgraded to indiemapper lite. You can still access the application with your current account at http://app.indiemapper.com. You’ll recognize the same indiemapper UI, however you’ll notice that much of the functionality has been disabled. Saving is disabled and you will only be able to export to a limited size PNG / JPEG. You will be limited to univariate maps, 2 projections and manual labeling. Your current project and data will remain securely stored on our servers and will be immediately available if you choose to subscribe. See the table below for the full differences between indiemapper and indiemapper lite.

As always, please let us know about your experiences with your first 30-days of indiemapper by emailing us at support@indiemapper.com or by visiting our support site or forums.
