GoHunt or OnX

[Caliminer]

Wondering what the big difference is between these two? Thanks in advance

GoHunt for research
OnX for mapping in field

Prioritize one or buy both if you have the $$

Here is what I have observed about this.

Look at the careers page for Go Hunt: https://www.gohunt.com/browse/news-and-updates/announcements/careers-at-gohunt

They never have jobs posted for software engineers, data engineers, geospatial.... all of the employees one needs to make a software as a service function.

By contrast, take a look at OnX's careers page: https://www.onxmaps.com/join-our-team
All of the job opening you would expect to see for a software company.

There's no way that Go Hunt doesn't have this app 100% farmed out to a 3rd party tech company. Do with that bit of information what you may.

I personally prefer OnX maps to goHunt’s in recent years, but I feel like this thinking is a bit flawed. I wouldn’t expect a custom home builder to do every trade and give me the best product. I wouldn’t expect hope they are good at one or two of the trades and sub out the other trades to good contractors in their respective trade. I don’t go to Scheel’s and expect they personally build every product, but rather have the best brands available so I walk away with what I want. I think GoHunt should be the same thing. They are a research company that does maps and (most likely) subs out their maps to someone that does a better job than they do. They stick in their lane, but provide a product people ask for. OnX doesn’t come close to GoHunt on research, however they have the feature (and it’s most likely subbed out) because people asked for it.

In a perfect world have both. If you can only have one prioritize research or mapping and pick accordingly. Only having one is like only having a flathead screwdriver in your toolbox. Have as many as you can afford to have and you’ll find they all are really good at certain things.
