MapMyLot's compare-two-lots view
With MapMyLot Pro, pin two properties and see them side by side in a single table - land area, perimeter, unconstrained area (buildable area), frontage, and every proximity metric, with the larger or closer value highlighted automatically. Useful for comparing two listings or benchmarking a new listing against a recent sale, without opening two browser tabs. See the full comparison guide for how it works.
When to use MapMyLot
Real estate agents printing a branded boundary report before an inspection, developers including a boundary report in a feasibility pack, or anyone checking a property in New Zealand, British Columbia, or the UK - where Landchecker has no coverage at all.
When to use Landchecker
Landchecker is the right choice when you need planning overlays, zoning information, development application data, or title-related research alongside the boundary, for Australian properties specifically. If your job involves development feasibility, conveyancing, or planning reports, its additional data layers justify the higher price.
Start with a free MapMyLot address check if boundaries, lot size and available proximity readings answer your immediate question. For ongoing work, compare the actual datasets, report needs and pricing for each service. Neither service replaces official records or professional advice for a decision that requires them.
