LandInsight (by LandTech) is a land-sourcing platform for developers: ownership data, site workflows and planning views from £60 a month. SiteLens turns live UK planning applications into a daily, trade-classified lead feed from £0. Two tools, two jobs, and this page helps you pick the right one.
No credit card, no call.
LandInsight is built to find and assess sites to buy: ownership boundaries, lookups and a sourcing workflow for developers and land agents. SiteLens is built for the people who win work from what gets submitted: subcontractors, material suppliers and small developers tracking live applications.
LandInsight’s Starter tier (£60/mo) includes 25 planning-application views a month, and unlimited views need the £180/mo Pro tier. SiteLens gives unlimited application views on every plan, including the free tier, with full classification and daily alerts on Pro at £39/mo, or £29/mo billed annually.
SiteLens classifies every new UK application by trade, project type and estimated value band, then emails the matches each morning. It turns the planning register into a lead feed. LandInsight points the same public data at site acquisition instead.

See pricingFor a developer, yes. They cover different ends of the pipeline.
LandInsight publishes its pricing: the Starter tier is £60/mo including VAT (25 planning-application views and 100 ownership lookups a month) and Pro is £180/mo (unlimited planning views, 300 lookups), with a custom Unlimited tier above that. SiteLens is £0 on the free tier and £39/mo for Pro, or £29/mo billed annually, with unlimited application views.
No. SiteLens monitors and classifies live planning applications as a lead feed for the construction supply chain. It shows the public property record, HM Land Registry recorded sale prices and the planning history at a property, but it has no ownership, title or site-acquisition workflow. For that job, LandInsight is purpose-built and the better fit.
Both draw on the public planning register. The difference is shape: LandInsight presents planning history on sites you’re assessing, with view caps by tier. SiteLens ingests every new UK application daily, classifies it by trade and value, and pushes matches to you, with unlimited views on Pro.
Pick LandInsight if your job is acquiring land. Ownership boundaries and lookups, site sourcing, and the workflow for taking a site from “spotted on a map” to an approach letter are what it is purpose-built for, and SiteLens does none of that. SiteLens has no ownership or title data. It does show the public property record: HM Land Registry recorded sale prices, the planning history at a property and any value uplift after consent.
The trade-off is the price of that depth: planning-application views are capped at 25 a month on the £60 Starter tier, and removing the cap means the £180/mo Pro tier. If what you actually want is to know which new applications mean work for your trade, and to be told the morning they land, that is a narrower job, and SiteLens does it self-serve from £0.
