UK planning lead services compared (2026)
Every service here turns the UK public record into leads. They differ on what you receive, whether every competitor receives it too, and whether a person you can call comes attached. Facts are as published on each vendor's site on the date above.

FieldClients is the only one built around what you do rather than sold as the same register to everyone. The table compares what each delivers, where, and who you can call.

UK planning lead services: questions
What is the difference between a planning alert and a planning lead?
An alert is the register filtered by keyword and radius, sent to you to work, and every subscriber in the area gets the same records. A lead adds who to call. FieldClients matches the record to the company that will award the work in your trade, verifies that person, and sends it only if it fits what you told us you do.
How are Glenigan and Barbour ABI sold?
Both sell annual subscriptions, scaled by region, sector and number of users. They are built for sales teams who work a project database daily. If that is you, trial both on the same search. If you are owner-led and want the finished account, that is what FieldClients sells.
Which services build the feed around your company?
Only FieldClients on this page. Every other service sends the same records to every subscriber: a register you filter, or a database you search. We read every source in your area and send only what fits what you told us you do.
Which services go beyond planning applications?
B2B Data Scout works from Companies House and regulatory events rather than planning. FieldClients reads planning registers, demolition notices, Companies House and public tenders on every UK market, and adds Land Registry, licensing, CQC and EPC records per trade. The others are planning-register products.
