Updated September 3, 2026. Independent editorial; how we research.
LandVision, now sold as LightBox Vision, is the enterprise mapping platform from LightBox: parcel boundaries, building footprints, ownership, zoning layers and report ordering on one map, tied together by the LightBox ID that links records across the wider LightBox data ecosystem. It is a serious tool for large teams. The reasons people shop around are equally serious: pricing is annual and on quote, the rebrand created confusion about what is included, the feature set is heavier than a broker or small land team needs, and the enterprise sales process is slow when you want to start searching this week.
Decide which slice you use. If it is finding parcels and owners for prospecting, a modern parcel search tool with published pricing does the job at a fraction of the cost. If it is ownership and debt intelligence on existing commercial buildings, a property intelligence platform fits better. If it is the underlying data for your own GIS, buy the data directly. Few teams need all of LightBox Vision, which is why most alternatives below are narrower and cheaper.
AI parcel search with two-level zoning, owner contacts and exports across 150M+ US parcels.
Why pick it over Landvision: For brokers and land teams the closest like-for-like replacement: nationwide parcel search across 150M+ parcels with two-level zoning on every record, owner contact lookup, folders and CSV export, at published month-to-month pricing of $180 to $300 and a 7-day trial with no credit card. You trade the LightBox ecosystem and environmental reports for speed and transparency. It is still labeled beta and integrations sit on the custom Scale plan.
CRE intelligence platform combining exclusive data partnerships with machine learning.
Why pick it over Landvision: Reonomy, an Altus Group business, is the pick when the parcels you care about have buildings on them: ownership unmasking through LLCs, debt maturity, transaction history and 200+ filters for investment sales prospecting. It is thinner on land and zoning, pricing is not published, and it is a research tool rather than a map-first workflow.
Standardized nationwide parcel data - boundaries, buildings, zoning, ownership - via API, bulk files, and apps.
Why pick it over Landvision: Regrid is the data layer without the application: 100% US parcel coverage with boundaries, building footprints, zoning and daily ownership updates, delivered by API, tiles or bulk files. Choose it when a GIS analyst or engineer will pipe parcels into your own stack. Pricing is quote-based and there is no research interface to speak of.
Comprehensive real estate data and analytics for CRE research.
Why pick it over Landvision: PropertyShark gives owner lookup, list building and foreclosure tracking from $60 a month with a free trial, which makes it the budget replacement for occasional ownership research. Coverage is strongest in New York City and major metros, and it lacks the zoning and mapping depth of LightBox Vision.
Owner; basic parcel & demographic info. Basic research.
Why pick it over Landvision: LandGlide is the mobile parcel viewer: tap a parcel in the field and see boundaries, owner and basic attributes on a phone. Choose it as a cheap field companion rather than a desk research platform. It has no prospecting workflow, contact intelligence or zoning analysis.
The leading commercial real estate information, analytics, and online marketplace platform.
Why pick it over Landvision: CoStar is the everything option: property, ownership, comps, analytics and marketplaces in one enterprise contract. Choose it when you need lease and sales comps alongside parcel research and the budget supports it. It is the most expensive path and overkill if parcel and owner lookup is the actual need.
Yes. LandVision was rebranded as LightBox Vision after Digital Map Products became part of LightBox. The product remains a nationwide parcel mapping and property research platform.
PropertyShark starts at $60 a month and LandGlide is a low-cost mobile parcel viewer. For a full prospecting workflow with zoning and owner contacts, Plotzy starts at $180 a month with a 7-day free trial.
Plotzy is built for land acquisition teams and developers, with two-level zoning on every parcel and sub-level zoning filters. CityBldr and TestFit are stronger once you need buildable-unit or feasibility math on a shortlisted site.
Plotzy and PropertyShark are month to month. Reonomy offers monthly and annual billing. LightBox Vision, Regrid and CoStar are typically sold on annual or enterprise terms.
