Datscha alternatives for commercial real estate

Relevant only to owners, agents, and analysts transacting in UK commercial property who need the Estates Gazette data, news, and analytics that EGi has historically provided — a category-standard reference in that market specifically. Zero relevance to US or other international CRE professionals; if you're not doing business in the UK, skip this entirely and look at region-appropriate data providers instead.

Buyer: UK land buyers, developers, and planning consultants sourcing and appraising development sites who need ownership, planning, and zoning status layered onto a map-based workflow. Strength: LandInsight's mapping-first approach to site sourcing is purpose-built for the UK planning system in a way generic data platforms aren't. Caveat: strictly UK-based -- irrelevant to US CRE buyers -- and it's a sourcing/appraisal tool, not a full underwriting or construction management platform.

A UK/Ireland construction sales-leads and market-intelligence database (590K+ tracked projects) used by contractors, manufacturers/suppliers, and specialist trades to source pipeline — this is a leads/data product for the construction supply chain, not a CRE investment or asset-management tool, and it's UK/Ireland-only so has no US CRE applicability.

Site-sourcing and ownership-data platform for UK land and property, aimed at residential developers, land agents, care-home developers, and renewable-energy (solar/wind/battery) site developers. A LandTech product line, not a standalone company; core focus is UK land, not broader CRE.

Rightmove Commercial is the commercial-property listings arm of Rightmove, the UK's dominant residential portal — it's where UK agents, surveyors, landlords, and developers advertise offices, retail, warehouse, leisure, and land assets for sale or letting, and where investors/occupiers search for space. Rightmove Commercial claims 66% of UK portal traffic for commercial listings, roughly 4x its nearest competitor, making it primarily a marketing/lead-gen channel for agents rather than an analytics or due-diligence tool. Pricing is a per-branch monthly subscription (tiered packages), and fees have risen sharply in recent years — reported at up to ~£1,750/month per branch for top packages, with average annual per-branch costs climbing from ~£15.8K (2022) to ~£18.3K (2024) — though these published figures are largely residential-side reporting and may not isolate the commercial-only fee.

Searchland is a UK-only land sourcing and planning-data platform for developers, land agents, and planning consultants finding and evaluating off-market development sites (ownership, planning applications, local plan policy, Green Belt/flood/conservation constraints) — not a general CRE investment or asset-management tool, and not usable outside the UK. It differs from US-centric CRE software by being planning/GIS-first rather than financial-underwriting-first.
