In my opinion not far off at all.
I’ve tried out their app and immediately noticed some issues:
- The (Mapbox) map they’re using in the (iOS app) didn’t attribute OpenStreetMap ([1], since fixed)
- Processing a short sequence of 100 images [2] took nearly two weeks and several question/messages on their Discord server
- Two emails sent to their main email were never answered; I’ve notified them that in their "Open data with Mapilio” linking to https://mapilio.com/openstreetmap they speak of OpenstreetMap (without capital S).
- Their blog post about how to contribute is pure marketing speak and no essence.
- They have a big GDPR page at https://mapilio.com/gdpr, but don’t seem to see the ‘export' part of the data very seriously [3]
