Ouch, I hope GPSJam has a deal with them...
Mapbox's pricing for this would be insane (for a hobby site) if you got a lot of attention... $1 per 200 page loads once you breach the free tier -- though I'll admit the free tier looks generous for a small hobby site.

No deal. I get 50,000 map loads per month for free, and have only exceeded that once. That time, mapbox did give me a freebie because they liked the project.

MapTiler is _way_ cheaper and a bit more ethical.
Also: you can double dip. When the free tier of mapbox runs out, swap over to MapTiler/StadiaMaps or any other provider of vector tiles.

Is there a good free one I can use on a local server?

https://maplibre.org/ is a free fork of Mapbox v1.x before they brought in their licensing model.

It seems to zoom out as flat map, I was looking for something that zoom outs to a globe.
