Lawn Care Software: Prices Compared for Mowing, Treatment and Landscape Businesses

Lawn care software schedules recurring mowing and treatment visits, routes crews, quotes properties and bills customers; this page shows what each vendor publishes, with a source for every figure.

The split that matters is the kind of lawn business you run. Jobber, Housecall Pro and Service Autopilot sell to home and property service businesses across many trades, lawn care among them (Jobber industries, Housecall Pro lawn care page, Service Autopilot industries). RealGreen is built for lawn care and landscaping companies, with treatment programs and rounds at the center of its scheduling (home page, scheduling page). LMN and Aspire are built for landscape companies: LMN covers landscape maintenance teams with seasonal contracts and crew tracking (LMN maintenance page), and Aspire what it calls enterprise-level landscape businesses (Aspire plans). SingleOps, from the same company as LMN, is built for tree care firms, and its help center covers turf programs as well (SingleOps help center).

If you mow or spray for homeowners with a small crew, start with the published prices in the tables. If you run landscape maintenance crews, read the route, seasonal program and measuring sections first: they decide whether a plan fits, and Aspire and RealGreen quote rather than publish a price (Aspire plans, RealGreen pricing). Every plan of every vendor we track is on the field service software price list.

8 SingleOps	$220 a month, billed monthly Published Publication note	Not published	Tree care companies that also sell lawn treatments or mowing, since one recurring proposal can carry seasonal rounds; chemicals can be tracked through item groups, and from Plus, weather data is logged when a visit is completed and custom fields can hold details such as an EPA number.

How each cost is worked out: 12 times the monthly price of the cheapest plan that allows that many users (a small team is 2 technicians and 1 office user, a mid-size team 8 and 2, a large team 25 and 5), on that plan's cheapest published billing term. That plan may not include every feature you need. One-off fees are listed separately and are not included.

Starting price is the lowest plan price on the billing term the vendor's pricing page shows first. "Who it suits" is our summary of the vendor's own material. The bar under each published mid-size cost shows it against the highest one in the column; it measures cost, not quality.

Notes on these figures

1. Jobber Connect: Sources disagree. Jobber's pricing page sells Connect at set prices for up to 15 users, but its help article says the plan supports up to 5 users. We use the pricing page; check with Jobber before relying on a larger team on this plan. (sources: getjobber.com/pricing, help.getjobber.com/en/articles/the-connect-plan)
2. LMN Starter: Publication note: Starting price, covering 1 office or crew lead license and 5 crew member licenses; a one-time onboarding fee applies.
3. Service Autopilot Startup: Publication note: Annual subscription rate covering 1 business user and 1 mobile license; a sign-up fee applies, amount not published.
4. SingleOps Essential: Publication note: Starting price; additional office or sales users cost extra, crew users are free.

The lawn care vendors and what sets each apart

Yearly cost for a crew of three, ten or thirty

Costs are worked out as described under the first cost table.

Yearly cost at three team sizes

Vendor	3 users Small team: 2 technicians, 1 office	10 users Mid-size team: 8 technicians, 2 office	30 users Large team: 25 technicians, 5 office
Jobber	$1,788 a year Published Connect, billed annually	$2,748 a year Published Sources disagree Connect, billed annually	Not published

SingleOps	Not published	Not published	Not published

Plus one-off fees, not published: Jobber, Housecall Pro and LMN.

For LMN, Service Autopilot and SingleOps, a Not published cell means part of the license arithmetic is missing from the price list, not that the vendor turns away teams of that size. LMN’s Starter covers one office or crew lead license and five crew member licenses, and further licenses cost a fee LMN does not publish (pricing page). Service Autopilot’s Startup covers one office user and one mobile license, and its extra mobile licenses have no published price (pricing page), so the cheapest plan for three people cannot be stated. SingleOps publishes the price of each extra office user but not how many the base price includes. Aspire, RealGreen and ServiceTitan publish no plan prices at all (Aspire, RealGreen, ServiceTitan). Ask each for a written quote for your own crew count, and say how many people work only in the field.

How vendors made this list and their order

What drives the cost of lawn care software

Who needs a login. Lawn crews change the arithmetic. Jobber and Housecall Pro price their plans by the number of users (Jobber pricing, Housecall Pro pricing). LMN splits its bundles into office or crew lead licenses and crew member licenses (pricing page), Service Autopilot into business users and mobile licenses (pricing page), SingleOps charges for office and sales users and lets crews in free (pricing page), and Aspire puts no limit on users (plans page). A business with many seasonal crew members and one office should count both groups before comparing.

Sign-up and onboarding fees. LMN’s published prices apply after a one-time onboarding fee (pricing page), and Service Autopilot’s plan cards add a sign-up fee (pricing page); neither states the amount. Budget for both before you compare the first year.

Add-ons for lawn work. Service Autopilot sells several tools as extras (pricing page); its QuickBooks integration on Pro is $29 a month, billing term not stated (published price; sources disagree). RealGreen sells its Measurement Assistant on a monthly subscription priced by business size, with no figures given (Measurement Assistant post). Aspire quotes GPS fleet tracking, payroll and electronic payment services separately from the software (plans page).

The season and the contract. If your crew shrinks after the season, check whether you can pay monthly and drop licenses. Jobber offers monthly billing with no commitment (terms of service), and LMN’s subscription terms allow monthly or annual subscriptions (subscription terms). Service Autopilot’s published prices are annual subscription rates, and its terms do not allow licenses to be reduced during a term (terms of service), so a crew you hire for summer stays on the bill. Aspire’s fee is worked out from the revenue you report (terms of service), so it grows with the business rather than with headcount.

Card payments on autopay. Recurring mowing and treatment visits are often charged to a card on file, so the processor matters as much as the plan. RealGreen runs payments only through WorkWave Payments and does not publish its rates (payments FAQ). Service Autopilot’s terms name Clearent, which now operates as Xplor Pay, as the payments provider its clients use (terms of service, Xplor Pay). LMN Pay, Jobber Payments and Housecall Pro Payments publish their card and bank rates (LMN Pay FAQ, Jobber pricing, Housecall Pro payments article).

Route-based scheduling for recurring mowing

Route density matters to a mowing business: the more lawns a crew finishes in one area on one day, the less time the truck spends driving. Software helps in two different ways. Route optimization puts one day’s stops in the shortest order. Route-based scheduling goes further: it groups recurring properties into routes by area and schedules the whole route on a set day, so the same street gets mowed on the same weekday all season.

The vendors describe this differently:

• RealGreen batches hundreds of services over several days, assigns routes to a technician or a crew truck by area, skills and licensing, and moves loose work to a flex day (routing page, scheduling page).
• Aspire treats a route as a crew, with the days that crew is available and a set visit order for each property on a map (routes article, route scheduling article).
• Housecall Pro groups jobs into named routes, by territory or recurring service pattern, and shows the calendar by route (routes help article).
• SingleOps, on Plus and Premier, builds routes per driver from the map, filtering by days since the last visit among other things, and emails the day’s routes to drivers; Premier’s route memorization works only for on-demand visits, such as snow jobs, not recurring ones (route planner article, route memorization article).
• LMN compiles jobs into route groups, with unscheduled routes for fertilization and cleanups that several crews work through (routing article).
• Jobber’s help describes daily route optimization and, on its older schedule, a master stop order you can arrange by weekday by hand; it does not describe scheduling a route as a unit (Jobber routing help). Service Autopilot describes bulk scheduling and routing of each day’s jobs rather than fixed route days (Smart Maps page).
• ServiceTitan’s routing, which places recurring service events into route time slots, is in private preview for specific accounts (routing article).

The route-based scheduling and route optimization rows of the features table show which plan of each vendor lists them. For dispatch and scheduling tools across all trades, see our field service scheduling software comparison.

Chemical application records for lawn treatment

Applying fertilizer and weed control can bring record keeping that mowing does not. Aspire’s help center puts it plainly: depending on the state, landscape companies may need records of chemical usage (chemical usage report article). A useful log records the product and its EPA registration number, the rate or quantity applied, the date, the applicator and their license, and often the weather.

• Aspire builds a chemical usage report with EPA number, product, quantity, units, application date, applicator name and certification number. Newer clients ask Aspire’s support team to set up the layout (chemical usage report article).
• RealGreen’s mobile app page describes products per service with EPA numbers, application rates and weather tracked automatically, and materials usage and commercial applicator reports for regulatory audits. The page doesn’t say which plans include it (mobile app page).
• ServiceTitan records the applicator’s name and license number, the EPA number and active ingredients, and produces a report for each completed job, but the tool is rolling out to a limited number of accounts and needs the Purchasing module (chemical compliance article, Property Care help).
• Service Autopilot’s Team App tracks chemical use for every job, without describing which fields it records (Team App page).
• SingleOps, on Plus and Premier, can be set up to capture the EPA number and actual quantity as custom inputs on the work order, with weather logged when a visit is completed (plant health care article, subscription tiers). It is something you configure, not a ready-made log.
• LMN’s turf care guide has you enter each product’s chemical code, EPA number and active ingredients so they print on invoices and reports, and captures weather automatically when crews punch in to a turf job (turf care article). It is also something you set up yourself.

Jobber’s and Housecall Pro’s lawn care pages do not mention application records (Jobber, Housecall Pro). If you hold an applicator license, ask any vendor for a sample report in your state’s format before you sign.

Seasonal programs and annual maintenance contracts

Lawn care is sold by the season: a fertilization program of several rounds, or a mowing contract from spring to fall, agreed once and billed per visit or in equal payments. That is different from a recurring job that simply repeats every week, and different again from a membership with no fixed rounds.

• LMN bills a service per visit, per season or per hour, and splits a seasonal price into the number of monthly payments you choose (maintenance estimate article).
• Aspire handles your customers’ contracts as fixed-payment contracts, billed at the same amount each cycle, or per-service contracts, billed from completed work tickets (fixed-payment article, per-service article), and renews contracts one at a time or in bulk (renewals article).
• SingleOps runs recurring proposals between season start and end dates, with fixed recurring invoices, prepay, autopay and batch renewal (lawn care proposal article, subscription tiers).
• RealGreen schedules programs with time-bound frequencies and cycle day ranges for each round, and every plan card lists scheduling (scheduling page).
• Housecall Pro’s service plans set the visits included each year, and plans with an end date can charge the card on file monthly, quarterly or every six months (service plans FAQ).
• ServiceTitan’s memberships set up recurring service events with a choice of durations and billing frequencies (membership types article).
• Jobber and Service Autopilot describe recurring jobs and service plans with automatic billing, but not rounds sold as one program (Jobber lawn care page, Service Autopilot lawn care page).

The seasonal programs row of the features table shows the lowest plan of each vendor that lists them, which may not be the plan priced for your team size in the cost table.

Measuring lawns and properties for quotes

Many lawn quotes depend on the size of the lawn. Measuring from aerial images lets you price a property from the office, or while the customer is still on the phone, without a site visit.

• RealGreen’s Measurement Assistant measures lawn and building areas from aerial imagery and tax data and turns them into a priced quote (estimating page). Every plan card lists online measuring, but RealGreen also sells Measurement Assistant as a separate subscription (pricing page, Measurement Assistant post), so ask whether your quote includes it.
• Service Autopilot’s Smart Maps measures square and linear footage of any property online and saves the figures for estimates (Smart Maps page).
• Aspire connects to LandOne and Go iLawn, which measure takeoffs from aerial images or PDFs inside Aspire (LandOne integration article).
• LMN’s estimating page describes built-in digital takeoffs from aerial images and a Beam AI integration, without naming a plan (estimating page).
• SingleOps lets an estimator draw and measure areas on a job’s site map, for turf care and mowing among other uses (property measurements article).
• Jobber adds property measurements and photos to a quote; its lawn care page links a free satellite-image cost calculator, but does not describe measuring inside Jobber (lawn care page); Housecall Pro’s measurement-based pricing is limited to Sherwin-Williams partner businesses (help article), and ServiceTitan’s measurement articles cover roofing and exterior reports, not lawn areas (help index).

Mowing and treatment business, or landscape contractor?

This page names no single winner, because the vendors are built for different lawn businesses. These questions sort them, using each vendor’s published prices and pages; we have not used the products.

Are you a small mowing or treatment business that wants to start this week? Look at the vendors with a Published label in the price table. Jobber’s Core, Connect and Grow can be started without talking to sales, while its Plus cards say “Contact Sales” (pricing page). Jobber and Housecall Pro cost the same at 3 users: $1,788 a year, billed annually (published price) for Jobber and $1,788 a year, billed annually (published price) for Housecall Pro.

Do you hold an applicator license? Then chemical records matter as much as price; read the section above and ask for a sample report. RealGreen schedules its work around treatment programs and their rounds (scheduling page).

Do you run landscape maintenance crews and sell seasonal contracts? LMN describes its Starter plan for landscaping companies with fewer than ten employees and Professional for ten or more (pricing page), and Aspire says it is designed for enterprise-level landscape businesses (plans page). SingleOps fits a tree care company that adds turf programs (product page, turf care article).

Is lawn care one service among several? Jobber, Housecall Pro and Service Autopilot serve many home and property trades, which suits a business that also sells snow removal or cleaning (Jobber industries, Service Autopilot industries). For invoicing and payment tools across trades, see our field service invoicing software comparison; the Jobber and ServiceTitan head-to-head sets a published price list against a quoted one.
