The Permit Sheet vs PermitSleuth
A fact-based comparison. Both tools can be the right answer — it depends on how you work.
How PermitSleuth works
- Usage-tier pricing — cost scales with how many records you pull.
- Address-level permit records: you get the filing, largely as the city published it.
How The Permit Sheet differs
- Flat monthly fee. Heavy weeks don't cost extra, so you can actually build a routine on it.
- Every permit is enriched: AI plain-English scope summary, trade classification with confidence, property attributes from assessor records.
- Contractor of record matched to the state license registry — classification, license status, business phone.
- Real-time alert routing by trade, valuation, keyword, and neighborhood — not a lookup tool you have to remember to check.
The honest verdict
Pick PermitSleuth if: You do occasional one-off record lookups and want to pay per use.
Pick The Permit Sheet if: Permits are a weekly lead source and you want them delivered, enriched, and filtered.
