For location-based data, spatial database capabilities can shape how you store and query information. Compare spatial data types and 3D geometry support alongside raster support and coordinate transforms. Query interface and deployment model add context about working with the data and where a system can run, while free plans and paid-from pricing help frame the options. Supabase, rasdaman and GeoDesk appear among the first entries, followed by Tile38 and SedonaDB. Use these comparison points to focus on the spatial formats and operations your work calls for, and on the deployment approach that suits your requirements.
31 spatial databases ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
