Jobber is the best lawn care software for owner-operators and small mowing crews in 2026, with Core at $29 a month billed annually and online booking, quotes and card payments included. LawnPro is the best budget pick: its Solo plan is free for up to 25 customers and Startup costs $29 a month billed annually for 3 employees, as of November 2026. Crews that run several trucks with many users should compare GorillaDesk, which charges $49 a month per route with unlimited users, and companies with 10 or more employees should look at LMN from $297 a month.

How this ranking works
One method for every tool. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run hands-on tests. Value carries the most weight.
Full methodThis list is for lawn care and landscaping businesses choosing software to schedule recurring visits, plan routes, send quotes and bill customers, and it compares tools by what they cost each month. Vendors charge in four different ways: Jobber and Housecall Pro sell plans with a set number of users, GorillaDesk charges per route, Crew Control charges per crew, and LMN, Arborgold and Service Autopilot sell bundles of licenses. Aspire and RealGreen quote prices only after a sales call. We compared documented features and published prices on each vendor's own pages and scored value at 40%, features at 35% and ease of use at 25%. Prices are the cheapest paid plan in USD as shown on November 12, 2026.
The verdict
Most mowing businesses with one to three people should start with Jobber, whose Core plan costs $29 a month billed annually and covers online booking, quotes, invoices and card payments. LawnPro is the cheapest way in, with a free plan for up to 25 customers and 3 employee logins on Startup for $29 a month billed annually. GorillaDesk is the better buy once you run several trucks, because every plan includes unlimited users and you pay $49 a month for the first route. Larger maintenance and install companies that bid from labor and overhead budgets should compare LMN at $297 a month, Arborgold from $129 a month, and quotes from Aspire and RealGreen.

Best forowner-operators and small mowing crews
Jobber ranks first because it gives a solo mower or a two-person crew the most finished tool for the lowest entry price. Core costs $29 a month on annual billing, or $49 month to month, and already covers online booking, quotes, invoices with online payments, a simple business website and reporting. Connect, at $99 a month billed annually, is the plan most lawn businesses grow into: it sends automated visit reminders, collects payments automatically, follows up on unanswered quotes and invoices, and syncs with QuickBooks Online. Grow at $149 adds optional line items, which suit seasonal upsells, plus job costing, two-way SMS and custom workflow automations. The catch is users. Every plan on the pricing page lists 1 user, so a company with several crew leaders pays more as it grows, and the AI Receptionist and Sales Pipeline cost extra. Jobber also publishes no chemical tracking feature on its pricing page.
- ✓Core costs $29 a month on annual billing, tied for the lowest paid entry price on this list
- ✓The free trial needs no credit card
- ✓Optional line items on Grow let a crew offer aeration or overseeding next to the mowing quote
- ✕Every listed plan covers 1 user, so the bill grows as you add crew members
- ✕QuickBooks Online sync starts on Connect at $99 a month billed annually
- ✕The AI Receptionist ($29 a month) and Sales Pipeline ($49 a month) are paid add-ons
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Core, $29/mo billed annually
- Monthly billing:
- $49/mo for Core
- Users included:
- 1 on each listed plan
- Free trial:
- Yes, no credit card required
Bottom line: Jobber is the best choice for owner-operators because Core puts booking, quotes and online payments in one app for $29 a month billed annually. Budget for Connect at $99 if you want QuickBooks sync and automated reminders.

Best forsolo lawn operators on a tight budget
LawnPro is built around lawn work, and its pricing makes it the cheapest way for a new operator to get started. The Solo plan costs nothing for 1 user and up to 25 customers and still includes job scheduling, quotes, invoices with online payments, a client portal, time tracking and level billing with service contracts, which lets customers pay the same amount every month of the season. Startup, at $29 a month billed annually or $39 month to month, removes the customer cap, adds automated invoicing, online work requests, deposits and tips, and includes 3 employee logins. Grow at $99 a month billed annually is where lawn-specific tools appear: optimized routes with route analytics, bulk and waitlist scheduling, pay for performance tracking and multi-step chemical programs for fertilizer rounds. The trade-off is that QuickBooks sync, 2-way texting and auto-charge of saved cards wait for Plus at $199 a month billed annually.
- ✓The only permanent free plan on this list, covering 1 user and 25 customers
- ✓Startup includes 3 employee logins for $29 a month billed annually
- ✓Level billing lets customers pay the same amount each month across the season
- ✕Route optimization starts on Grow at $99 a month billed annually

- Employee logins:

- Annual discount:

Bottom line: LawnPro is the best choice for budget solo operators because the Solo plan is free for up to 25 customers and Startup adds 3 employee logins for $29 a month billed annually. Expect to move to Grow at $99 once you need route optimization.

Best formulti-truck crews with many users
GorillaDesk charges by the route rather than the user, which suits lawn companies where a crew of two or three rides in one truck. Basic costs $49 a month for the first route, routes 2 and 3 add $50 a month each, and routes from the fourth add $30 a month each, while admins, managers, salespeople and crew members are all unlimited. Basic already includes invoices, estimates, work orders, flexible invoice frequencies, job mapping, routing for up to 25 stops, material tracking for chemical records and automated reminder messages. Pro at $99 adds a customer portal, online booking, subscription billing through Stripe or Square, routing on real-time street drive times, GPS device tracking, time clocking and QuickBooks Online sync. Growth at $149 adds map measurement tools and estimate packages with required, recommended and optional items. Yearly billing gives one month free, and there are no contracts or setup fees.
- ✓Priced per route, not per user, so office staff and crew members cost nothing extra
- ✓Material tracking for chemical use records is on the $49 Basic plan
- ✓No setup fees, no contracts and free data migration
- ✕Each extra route adds $50 a month on Basic for routes 2 and 3

- Basic, $49/mo for 1 route
- Users:

Best forlawn businesses that also sell installs with financing
Housecall Pro is a general home service platform rather than a lawn tool, but its user bundles make it good value for a crew of four or five. Basic costs $59 a month billed annually, or $79 month to month, for 1 user, with scheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoicing, a price book and consumer financing. Essentials, at $149 a month billed annually, includes 5 users and adds route grouping and sequencing to cut drive time, which is the feature a mowing crew will use most. Max, at $299 a month billed annually for 8 users, adds recurring service plans for maintenance income and a proposal tool with images and side-by-side options, and each user past 8 costs $35 a month. Employee GPS tracking runs on technicians' phones, and QuickBooks Online sync is available. The 14-day trial opens every Max feature with no credit card. Lawn-specific tools such as chemical records are not listed on the pricing page.
- ✓Essentials covers 5 users for $149 a month billed annually, about $30 per user
- ✓The 14-day trial opens every Max feature and needs no credit card
- ✓Consumer financing helps sell larger jobs such as sod or irrigation installs
- ✕Basic starts at $59 a month billed annually, twice Jobber's entry price

- Cheapest paid plan:

- Monthly billing:
- $79/mo for Basic
- Users included:
- 1 on Basic, 5 on Essentials, 8 on Max
- Free trial:
- 14 days on Max features, no credit card
Bottom line: Housecall Pro is the best choice for lawn businesses that also sell installs because consumer financing comes on every plan and Essentials covers 5 users for $149 a month billed annually. Mowing-only operators will pay less with Jobber or LawnPro.

Best forsmall crews that want per-crew pricing
Crew Control is the smaller sibling of Aspire, sold by the same company for businesses that are not ready for an enterprise system. Pricing is per crew: the base plan is $39 a month per crew and PLUS is $59, with 30% off on annual plans. The base plan already covers scheduling, route optimization, crew time entry and tracking, invoicing, electronic payments, reporting and QuickBooks Online integration, so a two-crew mowing company can run its week for $78 a month before the annual discount. PLUS adds the sales side: customer request forms, electronic proposals, on-site estimates and text notifications to customers before a visit. What the page does not list matters too. There is no chemical tracking, job costing or customer portal on the Crew Control plans, so applicators and companies that bid from labor budgets will outgrow it. The 14-day trial needs no credit card.
- ✓Route optimization and QuickBooks Online integration are on the $39 base plan
- ✓Annual plans save 30%
- ✓14-day free trial with no credit card
- ✕Electronic proposals and on-site estimates need PLUS at $59 per crew
- ✕The page lists no chemical tracking or job costing
- ✕Cost rises with every crew you add

- Crew Control, $39/mo per crew
- Upper plan:
- Crew Control PLUS, $59/mo per crew
- Annual discount:
- 30%
- Free trial:
- 14 days, no credit card
Bottom line: Crew Control is the best choice for small crews that want per-crew pricing because route optimization and QuickBooks Online integration come on the $39 a month plan. Upgrade to PLUS at $59 per crew if you send proposals from the field.

Best forgrowing lawn companies that want automations
Service Autopilot is one of the older platforms built for lawn care, landscaping and snow removal, and its strength is automation. Startup costs $49 a month plus a sign up fee, with all prices based on an annual subscription, and covers scheduling, dispatch, invoicing with integrated payments, expense tracking and lead management for 1 business user and 1 mobile license. Pro at $199 a month is where routing arrives, with route optimization, a dispatch calendar, multi-day jobs, job costing, asset and employee tracking and custom reports, plus 2 mobile licenses. Pro Plus at $499 adds the automation workflows the product is known for, marketplace access and 5 mobile licenses. Elite, priced on request, adds two-way texting, a client portal, smart maps and QuickBooks integration, which the comparison table otherwise marks as call for pricing. The sign up fee is not published, so ask for it before you compare totals.
- ✓Startup costs $49 a month on annual billing
- ✓Pro Plus includes 5 mobile licenses and 1 business user
- ✓Built for lawn care, landscaping and snow removal workflows
- ✕Every plan adds a sign up fee that the page does not state

Bottom line: Service Autopilot is the best choice for growing lawn companies that want automation because Pro Plus bundles workflow automations with 5 mobile licenses for $499 a month. Smaller crews will find routing and QuickBooks cheaper elsewhere.

7.8/10Business management software for tree care, lawn care, landscaping and plant health care companies.
Price
$129per month plus user licenses
Starter $129 per month on annual billing ($149 monthly); Professional $299; Enterprise $499; user licenses priced separately

Best forlawn and tree care companies that renew contracts each year
Arborgold comes from tree care, and that shows in features that also suit lawn programs sold by the year. Starter costs $129 a month on annual payment or $149 paid monthly and includes a CRM, estimating, unlimited land measurements, drag and drop scheduling, route optimization, job management, messaging, invoicing with e-payments, reporting and crew time tracking. Professional at $299 a month annually adds job costing, automated renewals, material inventory, chemical tracking and an automatic price calculator, which is the tier most fertilizer and weed control businesses will want. Enterprise at $499 adds plant and tree inventory mapping, sales automation and equipment maintenance tracking. Two things raise the real cost: an annual contract is required on every plan, and office and mobile user licenses are priced separately through sales. Ask for the per-user price before comparing Arborgold with tools that include users in the plan price.
- ✓Unlimited land measurements and route optimization are on Starter
- ✓Automated renewals on Professional suit annual lawn programs
- ✓Chemical tracking is listed on Professional for applicators
- ✕An annual contract is required
- ✕User licenses are priced on request, so $129 is not the full bill
- ✕Professional costs $299 a month on annual billing
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Starter, $129/mo annual ($149 monthly)
- Contract:
- Annual contract required
- User licenses:
- Office and mobile users priced separately
- Industries:
- Tree care, lawn care, landscaping, plant health care
Bottom line: Arborgold is the best choice for lawn and tree care companies that renew contracts each year because Professional includes automated renewals and chemical tracking. Get the user license price in writing, since Starter's $129 excludes users.

Best forlandscaping companies with 5 to 50 employees
LMN, now part of Granum, is built for landscaping companies that want to price work from a budget rather than from a gut feeling. Starter starts at $297 a month billed monthly and includes 1 office or crew lead license and 5 crew member licenses, with more licenses for a fee. It covers budgeting with overhead recovery, customizable price lists, material and labor calculators, automated proposals and job plans, automated invoicing and payments through LMN Pay, a CRM with SMS messaging, and a full customer portal. The LMN Crew app handles scheduling, route optimization, fast punch-ins, offline access, GPS location verification and automatic weather notes. Professional at $648 a month adds real-time job costing, equipment and material costing and Zapier, with 3 office and 15 crew licenses. LMN is more than a solo mower needs, and plans are bought after a demo, but for a 10-person maintenance company it ties estimates to actual hours.
- ✓Estimates are built from a budget that recovers overhead
- ✓The crew app works offline and records weather notes automatically
- ✓Starter bundles 6 licenses, about $50 per license
- ✕Starter at $297 a month is the highest published entry price on this list
- ✕Real-time job costing needs Professional at $648 a month
- ✕Sales-led setup: plans are bought through a demo
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Starter, from $297/mo billed monthly
- Licenses on Starter:
- 1 office/crew lead, 5 crew members
- Licenses on Professional:
- 3 office/crew lead, 15 crew members
- Setup:
- Book a demo
Bottom line: LMN is the best choice for landscaping companies with 5 to 50 employees because its estimates come from a budget that recovers overhead. At $297 a month to start, it is too much software for a one-truck operation.

Best forlarge commercial maintenance and install contractors
Aspire is aimed at commercial landscaping companies that run maintenance, construction and snow work under one roof. Its estimating tool builds bids from templates and kits based on your own production factors, and job costing tracks material, labor hours and other costs so you can compare estimated and actual results on each job. The CRM follows a lead through to a signed contract and keeps renewals in view, and scheduling moves won work onto the calendar, creates recurring jobs and tracks crews with GPS. For winter, Aspire builds snow and ice plans from aerial imagery and schedules crews and subcontractors. Invoices sync to QuickBooks or Acumatica. Aspire publishes no prices, so it scores lowest on value here, and it is clearly built for bigger operations. Smaller crews looking at the brand should compare Crew Control, which the same company sells from $39 per crew.
- ✓Estimates come from production templates, so bids stay consistent across estimators
- ✓Covers maintenance, construction and snow in one platform
- ✓Syncs with QuickBooks or Acumatica
- ✕No published prices; you get a quote after a demo
- ✕Built for larger companies, so it is far more than a small crew needs
- ✕Crew Control, the same company's smaller product, is the better fit under a few crews
- Pricing:
- Custom quote
- Accounting sync:
- QuickBooks or Acumatica
- Services covered:
- Maintenance, construction, snow and ice
- Setup:
- Sales-led
Bottom line: Aspire is the best choice for large commercial contractors because it builds estimates from production templates and tracks job costs across maintenance, construction and snow. Get a written quote, since no prices are published.

Best forlawn treatment companies with 3 or more crews
RealGreen, owned by WorkWave, is a long-standing platform for lawn treatment and green industry companies, and it stands out for marketing. The Small Business package, described as ideal for 3 crews or more, includes a full CRM, online property measuring, scheduling and work orders, dynamic routing, a mobile app, customer notifications, a customer portal, email and digital marketing, integrated payments and a sales chatbot. Professional adds pay over time and capital options, advanced reporting and API integration, and Enterprise adds unlimited licenses, advanced analytics and professional services. Across the platform you also get live truck tracking, turn-by-turn navigation, direct mail and print campaigns, a website builder and online review requests. RealGreen publishes no prices and says packages can be usage-based or user-based, so request a written quote. It is a strong fit for a lawn treatment company that sells through mail and email, and too much for a single truck.
- ✓Marketing tools including email, direct mail and a sales chatbot are part of the platform
- ✓Customers can prepay, auto-pay or order extra services online
- ✓Enterprise includes unlimited licenses
- ✕No published prices; packages are quoted per business
- ✕Small Business is described as ideal for 3 crews or more, not for solo operators
- ✕Pricing mixes usage-based and user-based options, which makes comparison harder
- Pricing:
- Custom quote, usage and user-based options
- Packages:
- Small Business, Professional, Enterprise
- Entry package fit:
- Ideal for 3 crews or more
- Parent company:
- WorkWave
Bottom line: RealGreen is the best choice for lawn treatment companies with 3 or more crews because direct mail, email marketing and online measuring come in the same platform as routing. Expect a custom quote rather than a list price.
What to check before you pay
Price it per crew, not per plan
Lawn businesses grow by adding trucks, so divide the plan price by the crews it covers. Crew Control is $39 a month per crew, GorillaDesk Basic is $49 for the first route and $50 for routes 2 and 3, LawnPro Startup is $29 a month billed annually for 3 employees, and Jobber prices every listed plan for 1 user.
Check how routing works on the cheapest plan
Route tools differ by tier. GorillaDesk Basic optimizes up to 25 stops at a time and Pro adds real-time drive times, LawnPro puts optimized routes on Grow at $99 a month billed annually, Service Autopilot adds route optimization on Pro at $199, and Crew Control and Arborgold include route optimization on their entry plans.
Look for chemical tracking if you fertilize or spray
Applicators need records of what went down on each property. GorillaDesk includes material tracking on Basic, LawnPro adds multi-step chemical programs on Grow, Arborgold lists chemical tracking on Professional, and Service Autopilot lists it in its plan comparison.
Count the costs outside the plan price
Service Autopilot adds a sign up fee to every plan, Arborgold requires an annual contract and prices user licenses separately, LMN charges for licenses past its bundle, and Jobber sells its AI Receptionist for $29 a month and Sales Pipeline for $49 a month as add-ons.
Ask sales-led vendors for a written quote
Aspire and RealGreen publish no prices. Ask each for a written quote that lists the monthly fee, the number of users or crews included, onboarding and setup fees, and contract length, so you can set it against the published prices on this list.

GorillaDesk includes material tracking on its $49 Basic plan. LawnPro offers multi-step chemical programs on Grow, and Arborgold lists chemical tracking on Professional at $299 a month billed annually. Jobber and Housecall Pro do not list chemical tracking on their pricing pages.
Is Jobber or Service Autopilot better for lawn care?
Jobber is better for most small crews because Core costs $29 a month billed annually with no sign up fee. Service Autopilot starts at $49 a month plus a sign up fee and puts route optimization on Pro at $199, but its Pro Plus plan adds workflow automations that larger offices may want.
Which lawn care software charges per crew instead of per user?
Crew Control charges $39 a month per crew and GorillaDesk charges $49 a month for the first route with unlimited users. Both suit companies where several workers share one truck.
