ONEGEO is an enterprise-grade geospatial data service from Berlin-based ONEGEO GmbH, built around βclean and comprehensive worldwide building data.β It targets developers and businesses that need global 3D buildings, building footprints, and related attributes, helping users avoid the complexity of multi-source data licensing, cleaning, coordinate handling, and format processing.
In terms of features, ONEGEO supports querying and filtering data via API before retrieval, allowing selection by building height, type, location, and other criteria. It also supports bounding box downloads, feature-level queries for individual building details, and location search by country, city, state, and more, returning building statistics. Its data comes from more than 40 sources and is validated, cleaned, merged, and updated monthly. The standard format is OGC GeoJSON, usable in QGIS and readable by ArcMap; for Esri File Geodatabase and data products for 3D software such as Blender, the site indicates that custom options are available by contacting the team.
The API plans are disclosed fairly clearly: Start Up is $50/month and includes 5,000 buildings; Business is $250/month and includes 50,000 buildings; Enterprise is $1000/month and includes 500,000 buildings, with lower overage pricing on higher-tier plans. All plans include a free trial, commercial use, up-to-date data, 99.9% availability, and the ability to cancel at any time. Payment is supported via international bank transfer or credit card, with invoices payable within 15 days. The terms explicitly grant a non-exclusive, non-transferable commercial-use license, but prohibit bulk downloading of assets, reverse engineering, and use in high-risk mission-critical operations.
The strengths are clear commercial licensing, cleaned data, practical API query granularity, and compatibility with common GIS tools, making it suitable for reducing data engineering workload. The team also emphasizes direct support from its Berlin-based team, which can be valuable for complex geospatial data projects. The drawbacks are that we did not see SDKs, language bindings, self-hosting options, or complete documentation for rate limits and error codes. In addition, data LOD, attribute coverage, and freshness may vary by region and source, so users should still validate target-area quality with sample data.
ONEGEO is suitable for teams that need commercially usable building data for GIS applications, urban analytics, 3D visualization, game environments, and calculations involving building area or type. It is less suitable for scenarios that only require free open data, or that demand fully self-hosted deployment and unrestricted bulk downloads. The site does not state the access situation from mainland China. Although payment supports credit cards and international transfers, local invoicing, RMB settlement, and network connectivity all need to be verified in practice. Alternatives to consider include OpenStreetMap, OSM Buildings, Mapbox, Esri, HERE, Google Maps Platform, and data solutions in the Cesium ecosystem.
