What LandInsight does well
LandInsight brings land, planning and ownership data together so developers and land buyers can find and assess sites quickly. It draws ownership information from HM Land Registry and Companies House, layers on planning data and site constraints, and lets users access owner and contact details where that information is publicly available. For a developer building a sourcing pipeline of potential sites, evaluating viability, and checking constraints, it is a well-established, capable platform with tiered plans for different team sizes.
What GalimAI does differently
GalimAI is not a site-appraisal map. It is an ownership-and-distress intelligence platform. It joins 1.97 million UK property-holding companies (Companies House) with 6.9 million-plus HM Land Registry transactions, and crucially refreshes daily. On top of that base it scores distress and motivated-seller signals across the whole population: overdue bridging finance, charge churn, persistent late filings, director-age catalysts and Gazette events. You ask it questions in plain English rather than navigating a map. Coverage is England and Wales.
The refresh-rate difference
This is the sharpest practical distinction. LandInsight refreshes its HM Land Registry and Companies House ownership data on a monthly cycle. GalimAI refreshes daily. For development site sourcing, monthly is perfectly workable, the land does not move. But for distress and motivated-seller sourcing, where a new charge, a late filing or a Gazette notice is the buy signal, the gap between a monthly and a daily picture is the gap between reaching an owner early and reaching them after a competitor already has.

Where each one wins
Choose LandInsight when the job is land and development: finding sites, reading planning constraints, and appraising viability on a map. Choose GalimAI when the job is people and timing: building a list of owners who match a buy box, surfacing the ones showing distress, and reaching them off-market with daily-fresh signals. Many buyers will use LandInsight to assess the sites that GalimAI surfaces owners for.
The honest verdict
For development site sourcing and planning appraisal, LandInsight is the more natural fit. If your priority is reaching motivated and distressed owners first, with daily data and a search you can talk to, GalimAI is the alternative built for exactly that, and the portal is free to try.
