Understanding your toolbars

BOOM!'s Data Studio includes significant amounts of data and associated functionality so it is important to understand how to best harness the toolbars to maximise your efficiency. Here at BOOM! we also recommend that you set your screen to zoom 80% (CTRL + minus key) to improve map real estate; we also recommend the use of mouse and not a track pad as a trackwheel and left- and right-click functionality are heavily used.

Reviews on Trustpilot

"Why I switched to BOOM! (And you should too!)"

"I've tried almost every UK online land and property sourcing tool, and BOOM! is the clear winner. It's the only platform I've found that offers both extensive property and planning data, as well as a detailed development appraisal tool, all at an unbeatable price. Why pay more for less with other services?"

"BOOM!Tastic"

"Having used competitors similar software the BOOM! Mapping system offers exactly the same results for much better value for money. Any identified queries are resolved swiftly and improvements made. As part of the overall BOOM! platform the mapping system is greatly of benefit, but unlike the competitors it offers significantly more, with sites available that are not widely known about."

The same data, a fraction of the price

Searchland, LandTech and Nimbus charge an average of £3,540 a year. BOOM! is £540 a year with every add-on included, or £216 for the sourcing data on its own — the £20 a month plan, billed annually.

Searchland
Standard
£4,000
LandTech
Unlimited
£3,620
Nimbus
Advanced
£3,000
BOOM! Logo
£540

That is £3,000 a year back into your next deal.

We can charge less because we cost less to run: a small team, no sales force, and no venture capital demanding a price rise every year. The platform is also only part of what we do — the others sell a sourcing platform and nothing else.
