SiteLens and Planning Pipe start at roughly the same monthly price. SiteLens is the one with the interactive UK map, AI-classified applications, and council-level analytics included as standard.
Both platforms start at roughly £29/mo for the daily UK planning feed. SiteLens adds an interactive map, AI classification on every application, and council-level analytics at no extra cost.
You can sign up to SiteLens, set up a saved search, and receive 20 application views and a weekly alert without ever entering a card. Try before you buy — no trial expiry, no credit card.
See projects on a map of the UK, filtered by category, value and proximity. Planning Pipe is list-first; SiteLens is map-first — the difference matters when you’re qualifying projects by region.

If you’ve been using Planning Pipe for years, your search workflows are set up the way you like them, and the list-first interface is how your team works — switching has a real cost, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise.
What SiteLens is built on the bet that, for newer subscribers, a map-first view and AI classification make the difference between scrolling through 200 applications a day and knowing which 10 are worth opening. Sign up for the free tier and spend ten minutes comparing the two — we’ll back our corner on that.
