|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Residual appraisal (RLV) | Site discovery, ownership, planning history |
| Output | Lender-ready appraisal share-link | Constraints map + consent comparables |
| Pricing | Quote only; 7-day free trial | Starter £60/mo inc VAT (transparent) |
| S106 handling | Cost line tied to triggers in RLV | Surfaces recorded S106 figure on comparable consents |
| Lender acceptance | Direct (Aprao for Lenders) | Not an appraisal output; supports it |
| Learning curve | Days | Days |
Pick Aprao if
You already have the site and you need an RLV the lender will accept. Sub-200-unit residential, single-phase, with a clean consent path. Aprao for Lenders streamlines the underwriter handoff, and the 7-day free trial enables a fast first appraisal.
Pick LandTech if
You are still sourcing sites or sense-checking the S106 estimator output against recently consented comparables in the LPA area. LandTech's planning-history layer surfaces the recorded contribution figure on the decision notice; this is the fastest sanity check before committing to the appraisal.
Use both
The common workflow is LandTech for discovery and constraints, Aprao for the residual appraisal. The two products integrate directly: LandTech site set-up feeds Aprao, removing manual re-entry of the GIA, ownership and planning-history snapshot.
Pricing transparency
LandTech publishes a list price (Starter £60/month inc VAT); Aprao does not. For procurement teams that require a public price floor, LandTech is the more straightforward sign-off. Aprao's 7-day free trial is the alternative evaluation path where the trial usage is enough to size the subscription.
