SiteLens gives you every UK planning application, classified by value and category, mapped, and delivered to your inbox. All from £29 a month, self-serve, no contract.
Glenigan contracts typically run at £5,000–£10,000 a year on a 12-month auto-renewing agreement. SiteLens starts at £29/month, month-to-month, cancel any time from your account.
Glenigan gates its product behind a demo. You can’t see the pricing or the interface without talking to an account executive first. SiteLens is self-serve — sign up, explore, upgrade only when it pays for itself.
Month-to-month billing, cancellation button in the dashboard. If SiteLens isn’t working for your business after 30 days, you’re free to leave.

We’re not going to pretend SiteLens replaces Glenigan for everyone. Glenigan employs phone researchers who chase leads beyond the public planning register — direct calls to developers, architects and main contractors to confirm project timelines, budgets, and decision-makers. That layer of research is real, and if your business depends on bid intelligence for £10m+ projects in the top-200 main contractor tier, that’s worth the ticket price.
What SiteLens does differently: we take the base layer — every planning application, every council, every day — classify it automatically, and make it searchable and alertable for the 95% of UK construction businesses who can’t justify £5,000 a year on a platform gated behind a sales call. If you’re a subcontractor, regional supplier, specialist trade, or small developer, SiteLens is built for you.
