Curbcut Studio gives planning teams instant, self-serve access to 2,000+ spatial indicators, no GIS expertise required. Explore, analyze, and communicate insights at the speed your work demands.
- Built by urban planning and geospatial experts
- Backed by 2,000+ built-in indicators across domains
- Designed for all planners, not just GIS specialists
Spend less time finding and preparing data. More time using it.
Planning professionals spend too much of their time waiting on the insights they need to inform decision-making: chasing down data requests, queuing work to GIS teams, or wrestling with incompatible datasets before analysis can even begin.
Fragmented data
Indicators scattered across agencies, formats, and portals, none of it ready to use without significant prep work.
GIS bottlenecks
Routine spatial questions get queued behind more complex GIS work. Waiting days for something that should take minutes.
Expertise gap
Powerful GIS tools exist, but not everyone on a planning team should need to be a GIS specialist to access spatial insights.
Slow decisions
When data takes weeks to assemble, decision-making stalls. Planning outcomes suffer when the evidence base can't keep up.
A collaborative platform for planning teams to access, explore, analyze and communicate spatial insights, no GIS expertise needed.
Whether you're building an evidence base for a housing study, preparing materials for a public engagement session, conducting a neighbourhood study, or answering a quick demographic question, Studio puts the data in your hands, instantly.
2,000+ built-in indicators
Demographics, housing, transit, environment, economy, and more. Over 2,000 pre-harmonized indicators and sub-indicators, each with full metadata for interpretation. Ready to use, no data prep required.
Integrate your own data
Import your own datasets and cross-reference them against Curbcut's library.
Explore & analyze
Overlay indicators, compare geographies, and segment data by time, demographic group, or area. Multi-scalar views from block level to city-wide. No GIS required.
AI-powered insights
The Curbcut Assistant is directly connected to Studio's database. It can highlight key findings, produce summary statistics, find and map indicators, help draft report sections, and more.
Project workspaces
Create and combine maps, graphs, and documents into shareable project pages. Collaborate with your team and external collaborators in one shared space.
Share & export
Share projects internally or with external collaborators. Export maps, graphs, and reports in multiple formats.
Instant, self-serve spatial insights for every project.
Explore
Search or browse 2,000+ spatial indicators across domains. Filter by geography, time period, or demographic group to visualize the information you're interested in. No setup. No data prep. No waiting.
Analyze
Overlay indicators, compare geographies, and let the Curbcut Assistant surface key insights. Build maps and graphs that speak to your planning question.
Deliver
Compile findings into a shareable project page: maps, graphs, and narrative text in one document. Export entire reports or individual maps and graphs in various formats, so you can share relevant findings with your team or the public.
Whether you're a solo planner or part of a large team.
Studio fits how planners actually work, across sectors, team sizes, project types, and geographies.
Stop spending days or weeks on data discovery.
Get to the insight faster and spend your time on what actually requires your judgment, not on data wrangling.
Quickly validate assumptions and back your position with evidence.
Prep for public meetings or internal reviews with real data, and give your team instant access to the information they need to keep projects moving.
Reduce dependence on GIS staff for routine data work.
Deliver more consistent, data-backed outputs across your portfolio, without adding headcount or waiting on backlogs.
Be among the first planning teams to shape Curbcut Studio.
We're launching our Beta program with a select cohort of planning teams. Beta members get full access at a founding rate, and their feedback directly shapes what we build next.
- Entry-tier pricing with 16% annual discount applied
- Full access to all current features
- No annual commitment during beta
- Beta price locked in for your first full year after the program ends, regardless of which tier you choose, representing up to $1,200–$2,400 in savings per seat
Beta members commit to two 30-minute feedback sessions and a structured survey at the end of the program. Your input directly shapes what gets built.
Is Curbcut Studio right for you?
Common questions from planning professionals.
Do I need GIS experience to use Studio?
No. That's the point. Studio is built for planners, policy analysts, and researchers who need spatial insights without the technical overhead.
How is this different from ArcGIS or QGIS?
GIS software is powerful but requires significant technical expertise, data management, and setup time. Studio isn't a replacement for GIS. It's what your team uses when the question doesn't require a GIS specialist. Think of it as the fast lane for routine spatial analysis and reporting.
We already have a GIS team. Is there still value?
Absolutely. Studio reduces the volume of routine requests that land on your GIS team's plate, freeing them for the complex work that actually needs their expertise. Non-GIS staff can answer basic spatial questions independently, without creating a backlog.
What kind of data is built in?
Over 2,000 indicators and sub-indicators: demographics, housing affordability, transit access, income distribution, environmental data, and more. All pre-harmonized and ready to explore, no data prep required.
Can I use my own data?
Yes. You can import CSV files and cross-reference your data against Curbcut's built-in library.
Is Studio only for planning consultancies?
No. While we're initially focused on planning professionals, Studio is valuable for any organization that needs to access and communicate spatial insights without deep GIS capacity: municipal teams, regional planning authorities, non-profits, research organizations, and universities.
What's the commitment for the Beta program?
Two 30-minute feedback sessions and a structured survey at the end of the beta period. In return, you get full feature access at $49/seat/month (entry-tier pricing with a 16% annual discount applied, no yearly commitment required), and that price is locked in for your first full year after the beta ends, regardless of which tier you choose.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14 days, full access to the platform, so you can explore Studio before deciding whether the Beta program is right for you.
