I wonder how one would choose which project to contribute imagery to.

Mapillary is owned by Facebook but aside from that Iโ€™d like to hear other peopleโ€™s comparisons between them.

When using both apps, theyโ€™re so similar in how images are captured and uploaded. The only other difference I see is that Mapillary has more data which is no surprise since Mapilio is newer. They both have OSM ID integration with Mapillary letting you filter it a tiny bit more. Also Mapilio has a little bit longer upload times.

So from my perspective, aside from the fact that Mapillary is owned by Facebook and Mapilio is owned by a nonprofit and plans to open source, I do not see much of a difference between the two. Based on my understanding, Iโ€™d tend towards Mapilio due to the ownership.

Is there any functionality or anything else that Iโ€™m missing between the two? Theyโ€™re so similar which is why I was asking.
