Pin Drop vs Mapstr
Mapstr is a great way to save favourite places, but the free plan limits maps to 300 pins. Pin Drop lets you save unlimited places, making it easier to build travel maps, bucket lists and trip plans that grow over time.
Save places you discover
Both apps help you bookmark restaurants, cafés and destinations you want to remember.
Unlimited pins
Pin Drop lets you save as many places as you want without worrying about hitting a limit.
Organise trips and bucket lists
Group places into travel plans, future trips or dream destinations.
Build your map over time
Your map grows naturally as you explore new places and collect recommendations.
Saving places is easy. Keeping them all should be too.
Many people use Mapstr to save restaurants they want to try, cafés recommended by friends or places they discover while travelling. It’s a simple way to keep track of locations that catch your attention.
However, the free version of Mapstr limits maps to 300 pins. For people who travel frequently or enjoy collecting recommendations, that limit can arrive sooner than expected.
Pin Drop takes a different approach. You can save unlimited places, allowing your travel map to grow naturally over time. Whether you’re planning a future trip, building a bucket list of destinations or collecting favourite restaurants across cities, you never need to remove older places to make space for new ones.
Instead of worrying about limits, your map simply becomes a growing record of places you’ve discovered and want to explore.
