Short answer: A solo mower can run on Yardbook for free, or $49.99 a month with QuickBooks sync and a branded portal. A two-crew route business gets route optimization, autopay and a client portal from Jobber Connect ($149 a month, 5 users, billed annually) or GorillaDesk Pro ($149 a month, 2 routes). Fertilizer programs fit GorillaDesk, LawnPro or RealGreen.

Search for lawn care CRM software and most of the first page belongs to vendors: on Oct. 7, 2026, LawnPro, QuoteIQ, Yardbook and GorillaDesk ranked with their own product pages or buyer guides (Jobber and RealGreen do the same for related searches), and the guides among them put their own product first. This page has no affiliate links, no sponsor and no vendor paid to appear or to be ranked (see how we make money). The picks near the end are ours and nobody bought them.

We did not use these products. On Oct. 7, 2026 we compiled each vendor’s own pricing page, help-center articles and app-store listings, checked feature claims against the vendor’s own documentation, read two state pesticide record-keeping regulations, and priced each platform against Census revenue data for solo and small landscaping businesses. Where a vendor does not publish a number, the tables say so instead of guessing.

What a lawn care CRM has to do that a sales CRM does not

A sales CRM tracks a few large deals. A lawn route is the opposite shape: hundreds of small visits that repeat weekly, cluster by neighborhood and bill the same amount every time. Readers in lawn care forums say the same thing in plainer words: a two-truck operator usually needs workflow software (schedule, route, invoice, collect) more than a sales pipeline. So we compared the ten platforms on the seven jobs that decide whether a lawn business can run on them:

  • Recurring scheduling: weekly, biweekly and custom visit series that fill the calendar without retyping.
  • Route optimization: reordering a day’s stops for the shortest drive, not just pinning them on a map.
  • Customer portal: a page where the client approves quotes, sees visits and pays.
  • Autopay: charging a stored card when the visit is done or the invoice is due.
  • Texting: on-my-way and reminder texts, and whether customers can text back.
  • Chemical application logs: the records many states require from anyone applying pesticides for hire.
  • QuickBooks sync: one-way export or true two-way sync, QuickBooks Online or Desktop.

The ten platforms: Yardbook, LawnPro, Jobber, GorillaDesk, QuoteIQ, Housecall Pro, Service Autopilot, Arborgold, RealGreen and, for larger firms, Aspire. For the wider software market (estimating, design and payroll tools), see our landscaping software hub.

Two price notes before the feature tables. First, QuoteIQ’s own lawn care buyer guide, which ranked second on Google for this search on Oct. 7, quotes Beginner at $74.99, Pro at $149.99 and Max with unlimited users; its pricing page the same day listed $99.99, $199.99 and a 20-user Max. We used the pricing page. Second, RealGreen and Aspire publish no prices at all, and Service Autopilot and Arborgold leave sign-up fees, add-ons or user licenses unpriced, so part of any comparison that includes them is a sales call, not a table.

Recurring routes: what each scheduler actually does

Every platform here schedules repeating visits; the differences are in how the route is built. Jobber’s help center documents recurring jobs that repeat weekly, biweekly, monthly or on a custom schedule (Create a Recurring Job, updated April 15, 2026), and its plan table adds a “Find a Time” slot suggester based on travel times from Grow up. GorillaDesk prices by route rather than by person, which suits mowing crews that ride together: its pricing FAQ says only users assigned to a schedule need a paid seat, and its Growth plan ($149/mo for one route) adds a “Job Magnet” that pulls nearby jobs together and a “Best Available Time” suggestion.

Yardbook builds one route sheet per day and optimizes it by shortest distance, but its routing tutorial warns that the optimizer ignores job start times, so a fixed 8 a.m. stop has to be dragged back to the top by hand. QuoteIQ separates Route Density (which neighborhood gets which day) from Route Optimization (stop order) and puts both on Elite at $299.99 a month (QuoteIQ pricing). Housecall Pro’s Essentials plan “groups and sequences” jobs, while one-click reordering on live traffic is a Max feature (Housecall Pro pricing). LawnPro adds bulk scheduling, a waitlist and route analytics on Grow (LawnPro pricing).

Autopay, portals and texting: the hidden plan jumps

The common surprise is that autopay and two-way texting sit one or two tiers above the entry price. On Jobber, automatic payments start at Connect ($99/mo for one user, billed annually) and two-way texting at Grow ($149/mo) (Jobber pricing). On LawnPro, auto-charging stored cards and two-way texting are Plus features ($199/mo annual) or add-ons on lower plans, and the current pricing page does not list the add-on prices (LawnPro pricing). On QuoteIQ the order flips: autopay enrollment is on every plan, but the client portal starts at Pro ($199.99/mo) and route optimization at Elite.

Yardbook is the outlier. Routing, card-on-file charging and online invoice payment are free, but free accounts pay a 1 percent Yardbook fee on online payments on top of Stripe’s 2.9 percent plus 30 cents (Yardbook, Credit Card Payments). That makes the fee a simple break-even test: the $34.99 Business plan costs $419.88 a year, so it pays for itself once a business collects more than about $41,988 a year online. Yardbook’s field apps are Android-first; its iOS app is in beta and available by request from support (Yardbook, iOS App for iPhones).

Card fees usually cost more than the software. Jobber charges 2.9 percent plus 30 cents per card payment and 1 percent for bank (ACH) payments (Jobber pricing); Housecall Pro lists card rates from 2.59 percent and 1 percent for bank payments (Housecall Pro pricing). A solo operator who collected the Census average of $37,227 entirely by card at 2.9 percent would pay about $1,080 in percentage fees before per-transaction charges, roughly what Jobber Connect costs for a year. Moving recurring customers to ACH autopay is often a bigger saving than switching software.

Chemical application logs: what two states require, and which software records it

Fertilizer-and-weed-control routes carry a record-keeping duty that mowing routes do not. Rules differ by state, so we read the regulation text for two large markets rather than relying on vendor summaries.

RuleWho it coversWhat each record must showKeep forReporting
New York, 6 NYCRR 325.25Registered pesticide businesses and commercial applicatorsKind and quantity of each pesticide, dosage rate, application method, target organisms, use, date and placeAt least 3 yearsAnnual report listing each product by EPA registration number; DEC says reports are due Feb. 1 (NYSDEC Pesticide Reporting Law)
California, 3 CCR 6624Anyone engaged for hire in the business of pest control (among others)Date and time, property operator, location, site treated, acreage or units treated, pesticide with EPA or state registration number, amount used2 yearsMonthly summary to the county agricultural commissioner by the 10th of the following month (3 CCR 6627)
Sources: regulation text via Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute (6 NYCRR 325.25, 3 CCR 6624, 3 CCR 6627) and the NYSDEC Pesticide Reporting Law page, read Oct. 7, 2026.

Read together, the two rules ask for fields that a generic job note will miss: target organism (New York), units or area treated (California), the EPA registration number (both), and a month-by-county summary (California). The question to ask any vendor is whether its chemical log captures those fields and exports them in a form you can turn into your state’s report.

Sources: vendor pricing pages and help articles linked in the table and in the feature table above, checked Oct. 7, 2026.

Two vendor claims did not survive a check against the other vendor’s documents. RealGreen’s Jobber vs. RealGreen page says Jobber lacks chemical tracking; Jobber’s help center documents a chemical tracking feature, though it only works on the web, which matters for crews logging at the truck. And LawnPro’s homepage shows “4.8 from 7,531+ reviews” without naming where the reviews were collected; its Google Play listing shows 3.5 stars from 118 reviews (table below). No page we checked says its export matches the New York annual report format or California’s monthly summary form specifically, so export one month of test records during the trial before relying on any of them.

This page is general information, not legal or compliance advice. Pesticide record-keeping and applicator licensing rules vary by state and change; confirm with your state pesticide regulatory agency before relying on any software’s records. Our landscaping license requirements by state page lists the licensing agencies.

What lawn care CRM software costs as a share of revenue: solo vs 5-person firms

List prices mean little until they are set against what a business takes in. We priced the cheapest published plan on each platform that includes route optimization, automatic card charging and a customer portal (the lawn route baseline from the tables above), then divided by Census revenue figures for businesses of that size.

Estimates. Prices from vendor pricing pages checked Oct. 7, 2026 (low = annual prepaid, high = monthly). Revenue: Census Nonemployer Statistics 2024, NAICS 56173 (solo) and 2022 Economic Census, NAICS 561730, firms by employment size (5-person). Processing fees excluded.

How we built these numbers

Plan choice: the lowest published plan whose vendor documentation lists route optimization, automatic card charging and a customer portal. Where one of those is an add-on with no published price (Service Autopilot’s portal, Arborgold’s user licenses), the table marks the price with a plus sign. Annual cost = monthly price × 12, at the annual-prepaid rate (low) and the monthly rate (high); QuoteIQ and GorillaDesk annual figures are their published annual prices. The 5-person case assumes 5 logins and 2 routes. Solo revenue: Census Nonemployer Statistics 2024 counts 537,970 one-person landscaping businesses (NAICS 56173) with $20.0 billion in receipts, an average of $37,227. Five-person revenue: the 2022 Economic Census reports $17.21 billion for 49,049 landscaping firms with fewer than 5 employees ($350,923 each) and $14.28 billion for 15,883 firms with 5 to 9 employees ($898,946 each), counting firms that operated all year. An owner plus four employees sits in the first class and a firm with five employees in the second, so the table shows both. Census counts paid employees, not software logins, so the size match is approximate.

Three findings follow. First, for a solo operator, plan choice is the whole decision: the baseline ranges from 1.6 to 11 percent or more of average receipts, and the average overstates what most solo businesses earn, because 65.5 percent of nonemployer landscapers took in less than $25,000 in 2024 (Census Nonemployer Statistics). At $25,000, Housecall Pro Max would cost 14 to 16 percent of revenue; Jobber Core ($348 a year) or QuoteIQ Essentials ($299.99) would cost about 1.2 to 1.4 percent but leave out routing or the portal. Second, once a firm has employees, every published option costs about 1 percent of revenue or less, and fit matters more than price.

Third, the subscription is small next to labor. The median landscaping and groundskeeping worker earned $18.82 an hour in May 2025 (BLS OEWS, 37-3011), so a $1,788 Jobber Connect subscription equals about 95 worker-hours of wages a year. Spread over an assumed 40-week mowing season, a plan at that price breaks even if it saves the crew about 2.4 hours of driving or office time a week (estimate; wages only, before payroll taxes). Payroll already takes 32.3 percent of industry revenue (2022 Economic Census), which is why route density usually pays back faster than any other feature.

App-store ratings for each lawn care app

Crews live in the mobile app, so we recorded each vendor’s U.S. App Store and Google Play ratings on the same day. Ratings mix lawn care users with other trades and say nothing about the office software, but a low score on a large count is a warning worth reading reviews for.

AppApple App StoreGoogle Play
Jobber4.8 (21,161 ratings)4.4 (6.84K reviews)
Housecall Pro4.6 (30,610 ratings)4.5 (6.85K reviews)
QuoteIQ4.7 (3,392 ratings)4.4 (1.2K reviews)
YardbookiOS app in beta; no public listing4.6 (1.98K reviews)
GorillaDesk4.4 (62 ratings)4.2 (406 reviews)
LawnPro (“Lawn Pro”)No U.S. ratings returned3.5 (118 reviews)
Service Autopilot2.3 (91 ratings)2.7 (293 reviews)
Aspire Mobile2.2 (64 ratings)2.7 (90 reviews)
Arborgold Crew1.0 (4 ratings)2.5 (17 reviews)
RealGreen Mobile1.5 (99 ratings)1.6 (27 reviews)
Apple figures from Apple’s public U.S. store lookup and Google Play figures as displayed on each listing, Oct. 7, 2026. Ratings change daily.

The pattern is clear: the general home-service apps (Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuoteIQ) carry thousands of ratings above 4.4, while the deeper green-industry systems (Service Autopilot, Aspire, Arborgold, RealGreen) score 1.0 to 2.7 on far fewer ratings. That does not make the deeper systems worse at chemical programs or job costing, which is what their buyers pay for, but it does mean crew adoption should be part of the trial.

Which lawn care CRM fits which business

These are editorial picks based on the published documents above. No vendor paid for placement, and each comes with what you give up.

  • Solo mower on a tight budget: Yardbook. Routing, scheduling and card-on-file billing are free; Enterprise at $49.99 adds QuickBooks and a branded portal. You give up a finished iPhone app (iOS is in beta) and, on the free plan, pay 1 percent extra on online payments.
  • Solo or two-person crew that wants polish: Jobber Connect. Route optimization, autopay, QuickBooks Online and a client hub for $99 a month annual (one user) or $149 (five users). You give up two-way texting (Grow) and crew scheduling (Plus), and chemical logs are web only.
  • Fertilizer and weed-control routes: GorillaDesk or LawnPro. GorillaDesk puts EPA-number material tracking on every plan and prices by route, so riders are free. LawnPro runs multi-step chemical programs from Grow ($99/mo annual). You give up the larger app-review base of Jobber or Housecall Pro.
  • Lawn care company with several spray techs and an office: RealGreen or Service Autopilot. Both are built around lawn programs and chemical tracking; RealGreen says its Small Business package is “ideal for 3 crews or more”. You give up published pricing, mobile-app ratings above 2.7 on either store, and on RealGreen a two-way QuickBooks sync (it exports one way).
  • Tree care and lawn mix: Arborgold. Plant and tree inventory, chemical and weather tracking, and QuickBooks Desktop or Online on all plans. You give up month-to-month terms (annual contract) and published license prices.
  • Maintenance and design-build firm with estimators: Aspire, or compare LMN. Aspire bills one monthly license with unlimited users for what it calls enterprise-level landscape businesses, with no published price. For a budget-driven estimating platform with published prices, see our Jobber vs LMN comparison.

Before signing, run one real week through the trial: import ten customers, build two recurring routes, charge a test card, log one chemical application and push one invoice to QuickBooks. Our guide to bidding landscaping jobs covers the pricing side the software will enforce, and landscaping industry by state shows how many competitors each state supports.

What is the best CRM for lawn care?

For most solo and two-crew mowing businesses, Jobber Connect or GorillaDesk Pro covers route optimization, autopay and a client portal for about $100 to $150 a month. Yardbook is the low-cost option ($0 to $49.99). For fertilizer programs, GorillaDesk, LawnPro and RealGreen record chemical applications. No single product wins on every feature; the tables above show which plan each feature starts on.

What is the best software for a lawn care business?

It depends on size. A one-person route rarely needs more than Yardbook, Jobber Core or QuoteIQ Essentials (all under $600 a year). A firm with employees should pick on fit, because every published option costs about 1 percent of average revenue or less at that size. Firms with several spray techs or estimators usually move to RealGreen, Service Autopilot or Aspire, which quote prices privately.

How much does Yardbook cost per month?

Yardbook’s Starter plan is free; Business is $34.99 a month and Enterprise $49.99 a month (Yardbook pricing, checked Oct. 7, 2026). Business adds bulk texts, GPS tracking, multi-step chemical programs and waives Yardbook’s 1 percent online-payment fee; Enterprise adds QuickBooks sync, a branded portal and removes ads. Stripe’s 2.9 percent plus 30 cents applies on every plan.

What is the best lawn care scheduling app?

On app-store ratings, Jobber (4.8 on the App Store from 21,161 ratings), QuoteIQ (4.7) and Housecall Pro (4.6) lead, with Yardbook at 4.6 on Google Play. For scheduling features, GorillaDesk’s route-based pricing and Job Magnet suit crews that ride together, and Jobber’s Find a Time suggests slots from travel times on Grow and up.

Is there free lawn care CRM software?

Yes. Yardbook’s Starter plan is free and ad-supported, with routing, estimates, invoices and card payments, plus a 1 percent fee on online payments. LawnPro’s Solo plan is free for up to 25 customers. Both charge for QuickBooks sync and the features larger crews need.

Is $100 an hour too much for landscape work?

For a two-person crew it is in line with the industry’s cost structure. Two workers at the $18.82 median wage (BLS OEWS, May 2025) cost $37.64 an hour, or 37.6 percent of $100; payroll averages 32.3 percent of landscaping revenue (2022 Economic Census). For one worker, $100 is about 5.3 times the median wage, so it needs equipment, travel or specialty work to justify it. Wage detail by state is on our landscaper salary page; see also our guide to bidding landscaping jobs.
