Topic: How is Mapbox being used within OnlineMaps?

I'm considering using Mapbox instead of OpenStreetMap, but I am curious as to how Mapbox works within OnlineMaps? Does it use their SDK or Mapbox GL JS? This matters quite a bit because of the potential cost. If it's the SDK then it's free up to 25,000 users, which is no problem. However, if it uses Mapbox GL JS then it might be considered a web app. Unfortunately this is probably the case, but I wanted to double check if this is technically a web app? If so then it's only 50,000 map loads per month for free, which isn't a lot if you even just had 5,000 semi-active users in a month across iOS and Android using it daily.

The Mapbox website for reference: https://www.mapbox.com/pricing/

Hello.

Used to download tiles by URL.
Theoretically, you can try to make it work using Monthly Active Users (MAU).
