The best software for a lawn care business, six options
Grouped from simplest to most involved. Read the "best for" line first.
Jobber
Best for: mowing and lawn treatment companies that want a well-known, polished general tool.
Does well: quotes, invoicing with online payments, online booking and a website on Core. Connect adds automatic payment collection, reminders, checklists and QuickBooks Online sync. Grow adds optional line items and job costing.
Price: Core $49/mo for 1 user; Connect from $139/mo; Grow from $199/mo; extra users $29/mo each (checked October 26, 2026).
Limitation: autopay is on Connect and up, so the plan most lawn companies need starts at $139/mo. See FieldStacker vs Jobber.
GorillaDesk
Best for: lawn and pest companies that price by the truck and have a lot of office or crew logins.
Does well: admin, office, sales and crew users are free; you pay per route. Pro adds online booking, subscription billing, a customer portal and QuickBooks Online sync. Growth adds map estimation tools.
Price: Basic $49/mo, Pro $99/mo, Growth $149/mo, each with 1 route; extra routes $50/mo on Pro (checked October 26, 2026).
Limitation: the bill climbs with each truck; on Growth, a second route is $100/mo.
FieldStacker
Best for: owner-run mowing and landscape companies that want flat pricing and their marketing in the same app.
Does well: weekly plans with card on file and autopay, seasonal add-ons on the estimate, day routes, multi-day jobs, job costing and QuickBooks Online sync. A website, 10 business emails, postcards (paid per card) and a door-to-door knock map come with Pro.
Price: $30/mo, or $25/mo billed yearly. Team is $60/mo for you plus 2 seats. Crew you add as technicians are free.
Limitation: no lawn measuring from satellite images, and no overhead-recovery budget tool.
Service Autopilot
Best for: growing lawn and landscape companies that want automation workflows and will commit to a year. It is now branded Service Autopilot by Xplor.
Does well: Pro adds multi-day jobs, route optimization, a dispatch calendar and job costing. Pro Plus adds automations and workflows.
Price: Startup $49/mo, Pro $199/mo, Pro Plus $499/mo, each plus a sign-up fee; Elite on request. Plans are priced on an annual subscription (checked October 26, 2026).
Limitation: the sign-up fee isn't listed, and QuickBooks integration and a client portal appear only on Elite.
LMN by Granum
Best for: landscape companies that want to budget and estimate around overhead recovery.
Does well: budgeting, estimating, scheduling, a crew app and invoicing on Starter, with real-time job costing and equipment and material costing on Professional.
Price: Starter $297/mo with 1 office or crew lead and 5 crew members; Professional $648/mo; both after a one-time onboarding fee. Enterprise on request (checked October 26, 2026).
Limitation: a demo-first sign-up, and the onboarding fee amount isn't listed.
Aspire
Best for: large commercial landscape, grounds maintenance and snow companies. Aspire is part of the ServiceTitan family.
Does well: the plans page describes Aspire as designed for enterprise-level landscape businesses; Crew Control is its smaller-company product.
Price: pricing on request; it varies by company size and complexity (checked October 26, 2026).
Limitation: more system than most small lawn companies need, and no published price.

How to choose
Four questions that settle most of it.
Mowing or installs?
Mostly weekly mowing needs plans, routes and autopay. Mostly design-build needs estimating, deposits and job costing.
What does year two cost?
Add the crews and office staff you'll have next season and price each tool with them.
Is autopay on the plan you'd buy?
Charging after each cut is what ends invoice Fridays. Check which tier includes it.
Can you try it in April?
Spring is the worst time for a long onboarding. A no-card trial lets you test with real routes first.
Every recurring lawn on one list
The service plans screen lists each customer on a plan, how often you visit, the price per visit and how many visits have been made, with your recurring income a month at the top. Each visit is its own job and invoice, placed on the schedule ahead of time, and a card on file is charged when it's marked done.
The extra job, billed on the spot
The customer asks for the hedges while you're there. Quick invoice is one screen: who, what, how much, then send it, take a card or mark it paid. It lands in the same books as the weekly plans and syncs to QuickBooks Online.
Lawn care software questions
What is the best software for a lawn care business?
For a solo mower or a few crews, the best fit is usually a tool with weekly recurring plans, routes and autopay at a published price: Jobber, GorillaDesk or FieldStacker. For a landscape company with big install work and office staff, LMN, Service Autopilot or Aspire go deeper on budgeting and operations, at a higher price.
What is the best landscape estimating software?
LMN is built around budgeting and estimating with overhead recovery. SingleOps Plus lists options-based proposals and job site measurements. Jobber Grow adds optional line items. FieldStacker builds estimates from your own price list with automatic labor lines, optional add-ons and deposits, but it has no takeoff or measuring tool.
What is the cheapest lawn care software?
Of the tools that publish prices, FieldStacker starts at $30/mo, and Jobber, GorillaDesk and Service Autopilot start at $49/mo, as of October 26, 2026. Service Autopilot adds a sign-up fee and is priced on an annual subscription. For a free option, see our free lawn care software guide.
Do lawn care apps charge per user?
Most do in some way. Jobber charges $29/mo per extra user, GorillaDesk charges per route with office and crew users free, LMN and Service Autopilot include a set number of licenses per plan, and FieldStacker lets you add crew as technicians for free.
Can I switch lawn care software in the middle of the season?
Yes, but do it on a slow week. Export your customers and their service schedule, import them, and run both apps side by side for one route cycle. FieldStacker imports CSV or Excel files with undo, has a dedicated Jobber import, and we import your customers and jobs for free.
