Each of these platforms has a fundamental flaw for local builders trying to win consistent, quality work.
Barbour ABI
Enterprise planning data- Built for large national contractors, not local trades
- Complex platform — steep learning curve
- Minimum 12-month contracts
- Far more data than a small builder needs
Glenigan
Enterprise planning intelligence- Priced for developers and main contractors
- Annual contract commitments
- No radius-based filtering for small traders
- Data overload — no SME-friendly digest
Pay-per-lead platforms
Lead marketplace- Leads sold to multiple tradespeople simultaneously
- No guarantee the homeowner is serious
- Costs escalate quickly with volume
- Bidding wars drive up acquisition cost
Why PlanLeads is different
We built PlanLeads to solve the exact problems local builders face with every other lead source.
Leads before competitors know
Planning applications are submitted weeks before a homeowner contacts anyone. PlanLeads delivers these to you the same week — giving you a head start.
No bidding. No pay-per-lead.
No per-lead charges, no bidding, no long-term contracts. A flat monthly fee and planning data delivered directly to your inbox.
Verified intent, not browsing
Submitting a planning application costs time and money. Homeowners who do it are serious. This is a stronger buying signal than someone Googling 'builder near me'.
Flat monthly cost
No per-lead charges, no bidding wars, no surprise invoices. £49 or £99 per month, cancelled anytime.
Legally sourced public data
Planning application data is legally sourced, verified, and processed in full compliance with UK GDPR. We're not scraping or guessing — every lead is a real submitted application.
Set and forget
Set your preferences once and leads arrive in your inbox every month. Log in any time to manage your pipeline, update statuses, and track jobs won.
