Development Feasibility & Pro Forma alternatives comparison
| Tool | Verdict | Composite | Price signal | Agent access | Key formats |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aprao Solid -- purpose-built development appraisal platform with transparent 7-day free trial, ISO 27001 certification, and an announced MCP integration for LLM-driven modelling queries; replaces Excel/ARGUS for small-to-mid developers with lender-ready reporting, though limited to UK/US markets and no public API beyond the planned MCP connector. | Solid | 3.0 | Free trial | API | PDF, XLSX |
| Feasibility.pro C1 4/5 reflects transparent tiered pricing ($49-199/month, 14-day free trial, student free access). C2 2/5 reflects no current API (upcoming APIs planned). C3 4/5 reflects self-serve signup and cloud-based accessibility. C4 3/5 reflects Excel export with no other documented formats. C5 2/5 reflects integrations with Tally, Zoho, QuickBooks but no AEC/design tools. | Solid | 3.0 | Free tier | None | XLSX |
| OpenCities Planner RF1 remains attached because pricing is contact-sales only, C2 2/5 reflects no documented API or scripting surface, and C4 4/5 reflects DGN, DWG, RVT, IFC, CityGML, GIS, and point-cloud import coverage. | Situational | 2.8 | Quote-only | API | DGN, DWG, RVT, IFC |
| Lead Developer C1 3/5 reflects freemium model with 7-day fully functional trial converting to unlimited demo mode. C2 1/5 reflects no scripting API (Google Sheets native extension only). C3 4/5 reflects self-serve Sheets integration with no IT requirements. C4 4/5 reflects native Google Sheets export and portability. C5 2/5 reflects Google Workspace Marketplace listing and Sheets ecosystem, no AEC integrations. | Situational | 2.8 | Free tier | None | XLSX |
| InQI C1 4/5 reflects self-serve per-project access, and C4 3/5 reflects PDF and DXF export from the generated site plan, setbacks, code checks, and cost estimates. RF2 keeps C2 1/5 because delivery is a GUI web app with no public API. | Situational | 2.6 | self-serve per-project (Single Project Access) | API | PDF, DXF |
