TL;DR. LandGlide is a popular mobile parcel data app that lets real estate professionals look up property boundaries, owner information, and tax records on the go. Buildability™ is a per-property buildability analysis platform that runs a 142-factor analysis covering zoning, environmental risk, and feasibility scoring. LandGlide is great for in-the-field parcel identification; Buildability™ is great for desk-bound due diligence depth.
Quick comparison
LandGlide: mobile app for iOS and Android that displays parcel boundaries on a map with owner name, parcel ID, acreage, and assessed value. About $9.99/month. Excels at quick lookups while walking a property or driving by. Buildability™: web platform that runs a 142-factor Buildability™ Report covering zoning code, setbacks, FAR, FEMA flood zone, wildfire risk, EPA contamination, infrastructure, comparable sales, and permit pathway. $29 per report or $249-$1,083/month subscription tiers. Excels at deep due diligence on specific parcels.
Where LandGlide wins
LandGlide is the right tool when you are physically on or near a property and need to instantly see the parcel boundary, owner name, and tax info. The mobile experience is purpose-built for field work — point your phone at a lot, see who owns it, see the boundary on a satellite map. It is also the cheapest serious parcel data tool on the market at about $10/month. If your workflow is "drive neighborhoods, identify lots of interest, capture owner info on the spot," LandGlide is built for that.
Where Buildability™ wins
Buildability™ is the right tool when you have a specific address or parcel in mind and need to know what you can actually build on it. LandGlide tells you who owns it; Buildability™ tells you the zoning code, permitted uses, setbacks, FAR, ADU eligibility, FEMA flood zone, wildfire risk, environmental constraints, infrastructure availability, and a buildability score. LandGlide does not analyze zoning or buildability. Buildability™ also offers Geo™ AI conversations so you can ask follow-up questions in plain English, and exposes an MCP server so Claude and other AI agents can call its analysis directly.
Best use cases
Choose LandGlide if: you spend time driving neighborhoods, you need quick parcel boundary and owner lookups in the field, and you want the cheapest possible mobile parcel data tool. Choose Buildability™ if: you are evaluating whether a specific lot is buildable, running ADU feasibility, screening environmental risk, or doing technical due diligence on a deal. The two tools complement each other — use LandGlide for field identification, Buildability™ for deep analysis once you have the address.
Pricing comparison
LandGlide: about $9.99/month for the mobile subscription. Buildability™: free first report, $29 per single report, $129 for a 5-pack, $249-$1,083/month subscription tiers.
