QuoteIQ is the best mobile CRM for landscaping companies in 2026 — the platform runs at full parity on iPhone, Android, and web, so a foreman quotes, schedules, documents, invoices, and collects payment from the seat of a pickup. Plans start at $29.99/month.
QuoteIQ is the best mobile CRM for landscaping companies in 2026. It is the only platform in the category that ships satellite property measurement, Good/Better/Best Options Estimates, recurring mowing schedules, AI before-and-after previews, and conversational AI control of the whole CRM at full feature parity on iPhone, Android, and web — with no desktop-only fallback. Plans run $29.99 to $699 per month, the recommended Pro tier is $149.99/month for 4 users, and every plan carries a 14-day free trial of the plan you select.
TL;DR: Landscaping runs outdoors, so the CRM has to run on a phone. MapMeasure Pro measures lawn, bed, and hardscape area from satellite imagery inside the estimate; Options Estimates and Package Estimates turn one walk-through into tiered and bundled proposals; Scheduling plus Invoice Subscriptions keep weekly mowing routes billing themselves; QuoteIQ Cam documents every visit in 4K; Job Costing shows per-property margin the same day; and AI Autopilot runs the CRM by voice. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics counts 1,299,200 grounds maintenance jobs, and EPA WaterSense puts U.S. residential outdoor water use near 8 billion gallons a day — this is a field trade with field-sized numbers, and the back office is a truck seat.
Most CRMs marketed to the green industry were not built for crews who spend ten hours a day with grass clippings on their boots. They were built for office staff who happen to have field workers somewhere downstream. The best mobile CRM for landscaping companies has to do the opposite — assume zero office, assume a truck cab, assume the only screen the owner touches between 6:30 AM and 6:00 PM is the one in his back pocket. QuoteIQ is the field-first platform that landscaping operations run their business on every day in 2026.
The scale of the trade explains why. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 1,299,200 grounds maintenance jobs in 2025, with employment projected to grow 5% through 2035 — faster than the average for all occupations — and roughly 162,500 openings a year. Median pay sits at $40,080 annually, or $19.27 an hour. None of those workers are sitting at a desk. They mow, edge, prune, mulch, plant, lay sod, install pavers, run irrigation lines, and answer customer calls, usually within the same eight hours, with one phone in one hand and a backpack blower in the other.
Grounds maintenance jobs in the United States in 2025, per BLS — growing 5% through 2035 with about 162,500 openings per year. A desktop-anchored CRM asks every one of those workers to stop working to use it.
A two-truck landscape crew running QuoteIQ handles weekly residential mowing stops, biweekly commercial accounts, a spring cleanup walk-through, and a hardscape bid — all from iPhones. MapMeasure Pro draws an 18,400 sq ft front-and-back lawn from satellite imagery without the crew stepping onto the property. Options Estimates build out as Basic Maintenance at $75 per visit, Enhanced Care at $115 per visit, and Premium Turf at $185 per visit. Before & After AI generates a realistic preview of the finished property from the actual photo in about 15 to 20 seconds. The homeowner taps a tier, signs with E-Signatures on the foreman’s phone, and the deposit is collected through Online Payments before the truck pulls out of the driveway.
Truck-level Inventory Management tracks mulch by cubic yard, fertilizer by bag, irrigation parts by SKU, and landscape lighting fixtures by wattage, assigned to specific locations including individual trucks. A foreman opens the app at 6:45 AM and knows truck #2 carries 9 yards of dark hardwood mulch, four bags of pre-emergent, six LED path lights, and a full rotor head kit before pulling out of the yard. No surprise runs to the supply yard at 11 AM, no wasted mid-route windshield time. Stock deducts from the right location when the invoice is paid — a deposit alone does not move stock, which matters when a hardscape project collects 40% up front and the materials land weeks later.
Co-Founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers are service business operators who built QuoteIQ for crews that mow, edge, mulch, plant, and prune for a living. That origin is why Route Optimization understands how a residential mowing crew sequences a Tuesday, and why Route Density is tuned for the tight clustering patterns landscape companies build routes around rather than the spread-out service areas of plumbing and HVAC. Contract Attachments keep maintenance agreements, hardscape scope addendums, plant warranties, and irrigation system specs bound to every estimate.
And when the phone rings at 7:14 PM on a Wednesday because a windstorm dropped a 30-foot oak limb across a fence, the Virtual Call Team answers, qualifies the lead, filters the spam, and records and transcribes the call so the estimator has the whole story in the morning. It is an AI phone team, not a scheduler — it captures and qualifies the opportunity rather than dropping an appointment onto the calendar, and its minutes are metered through IQ Credits at 125 credits per minute, so lower tiers carry fewer answering minutes than higher ones.
Drive time cut by Route Optimization sequencing a day’s stops. On a mowing route, drive time is the single largest non-billable block in the day — and at the IRS business mileage rate of 76 cents per mile for July 1 through December 31, 2026, every avoided mile is money.
Pipelines & Deals separates residential maintenance leads, commercial property bids, hardscape design-build deals, irrigation installs, landscape lighting upsells, and HOA contracts into distinct funnels. A $42,500 paver patio bid does not get buried under 28 weekly mowing inquiries — each channel carries its own stages, close-probability percentages, and weighted forecast, where weighted value is simply amount multiplied by probability. The National Association of Landscape Professionals is the trade body most green-industry operators benchmark against, and the operations winning repeat referrals are the ones running a single mobile-first system rather than four apps that do not talk to each other.
QuoteIQ ships all twelve with full mobile parity — iOS, Android, and web all run the same product. A landscape foreman, owner, or crew lead runs every workflow below from a phone, with no “mobile-lite” fallback and no web-only escape hatch. Plan tiers are noted on each card so you can match the capability to the right subscription on the pricing page.
Open the app at the curb and draw lawn area, garden beds, driveways, hardscape footprints, fence lines, and tree canopies from satellite imagery — inside estimate creation, not in a separate tool. Measurements save to the customer profile and export straight into the quote. Roof segments auto-detect with color-coded pitch, screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof of scope, and a historical aerial timeline lets you scroll back through years of imagery on a property.
Learn more →Present three pricing tiers on every landscape proposal: Basic Maintenance at $75 per visit, Enhanced Care at $115 with edging, weed control, and bed maintenance, Premium Turf at $185 with fertilization, aeration, and overseed. Homeowners reading the proposal on a phone tap a tier and sign. The same format works for spring cleanups, mulch installs, and seasonal packages, and an accepted estimate converts to a recurring subscription in one action.
Learn more →Five modules — Products, Locations, Suppliers, Orders, and Transactions — track mulch by cubic yard, fertilizer by 50-lb bag, herbicide by gallon, sod by pallet, irrigation parts by SKU, lighting fixtures by wattage, and pavers by pallet, assigned to locations including individual trucks. Reorder points flag low stock. Materials on estimates link to products so pricing stays current, and stock deducts when the invoice is paid.
Learn more →Per-property and per-project margin on the phone: Total Price minus Labor minus Expenses equals Profit, with a profit-margin bar. Labor pulls automatically from time tracking at hourly rate times clocked hours. A $42,500 paver patio carrying $16,800 in pavers, sand, base aggregate, and edge restraint plus 140 crew-hours lands with the margin visible before the foreman leaves the property — so the next paver bid uses the real number, not the gut number.
Learn more →Route Optimization sequences the day’s stops for minimum drive time, accounts for appointment windows and job duration, recalculates when a job is added late, and hands off to GPS navigation — cutting drive time 15–30%. Route Density is the companion view that shows where your work clusters, so you plan which zone to work on which day. Density answers where; Optimization answers in what order.
Learn more →Snap a phone photo of a tired front yard with patchy turf and overgrown beds. Before & After AI renders a realistic preview of fresh mulch, edged beds, re-sodded turf, and new path lighting from that actual photo in roughly 15 to 20 seconds, and attaches to any estimate type or invoice. It is the visual lever that moves a conversation from a basic cleanup tier to a full property refresh, because the customer sees the outcome before signing.
Learn more →Weekly mowing, biweekly maintenance, monthly fertilization, and seasonal aeration populate the calendar from one setup. Drag a single occurrence of a recurring series without disturbing the rest when Tuesday rains out. Multi-day hardscape jobs render as continuous events, Schedule Later creates a job with no date yet, and a GEO-Schedule map view shows the day geographically. Critical for operations carrying 40–80 recurring residential accounts.
Learn more →In-app capture or camera-roll upload, organized by job and date, with unlimited 4K photo and video cloud storage. Before-and-after pairs build the marketing library that sells the next twenty jobs. Proof-of-work photos defuse “you didn’t trim the back hedge” complaints before they become chargebacks, and mulch depth shots prove the 3-inch spec was hit. Custom inspection forms and job reports attach to quotes and invoices.
Learn more →Bundle spring cleanup plus first mulch refresh plus pre-emergent into a Spring Property Kickoff at $1,795, saving the homeowner $295 against à la carte. Bundle fall leaf cleanup, final mow, and winterization at $895. Bundle full-season weekly mowing, edging, fertilization, aeration, and overseed at $4,280 annually. Package Estimates present the bundle as one clean document with markup and discount controls and real-time totals.
Learn more →Conversational control of the entire CRM by voice or text, through 55 integrated tools across 13 categories. “Move all of today’s jobs to Friday and text every customer.” “Invoice all of today’s completed jobs and send them.” These execute real CRM actions, not chatbot suggestions. Ask AI is the in-app name for the same feature. Credit costs preview before any action runs, so nothing draws from your balance without confirmation.
Learn more →A 24/7 AI phone team that answers inbound landscape calls, qualifies the lead, filters spam, and records and transcribes every call with a summary pushed to you — including the 7:14 PM storm-damage call. The knowledge base and agent voice are customizable, and outbound and simultaneous call campaigns run from the same engine. Minutes meter through IQ Credits at 125 credits per minute, so answering volume scales with your plan’s allocation.
Learn more →Separate funnels for residential maintenance, commercial property bids, hardscape design-build, irrigation installs, lighting upsells, and HOA contracts. Kanban and list views, stages with close-probability percentages, weighted value calculated as amount times probability, six-metric analytics including average deal age, multi-assignee deals, attachments, and internal notes kept separate from customer-visible content. Elite runs up to 5 pipelines; Max is unlimited.
Learn more →The size of the AI Autopilot tool registry as of the current release. Rescheduling a rained-out afternoon, texting the affected customers, and invoicing the completed stops are three separate spoken commands — not three separate apps.
Here is how a day runs for a landscaping company using QuoteIQ as the mobile CRM holding the operation together. The crew lead is a foreman running two trucks, 22 residential mowing stops, three biweekly commercial accounts, a $6,800 spring cleanup walk-through, and a $42,500 paver patio bid — all from an iPhone in the truck. The tier assumed below is Elite, since routing, inventory, and pipelines sit at that level.
The foreman opens QuoteIQ before the trucks pull out. The mobile calendar shows 22 residential mowing stops on the Tuesday route, sequenced by Route Optimization, which cuts drive time 15–30% against an unsequenced run. Truck #1 takes the residential mowing route; truck #2 takes two commercial properties plus the Bramley Estate cleanup walk-through. Inventory confirms truck #2 carries 9 yards of dark hardwood mulch, four bags of pre-emergent, six LED path lights, and a full rotor kit. EmployeeHub shows three team members clocked in at 6:24 AM with clock-in location verified at the yard.
Stops 1 through 7 are done. At the Lockhart property the foreman opens QuoteIQ Cam and captures a 4K photo of the front yard post-cut — crisp edges, clean blow-off, fresh stripe pattern — filed automatically to the customer’s job record. Three stops later at the Brennan account he spots grub damage on the lawn. Two taps add a one-time $245 treatment line to the recurring agreement, and ClientHub texts the homeowner from the business number: found grub damage, needs treating this week, $245, reply yes to add. Approved in nine minutes, with the whole thread saved to the customer profile.
A full-property spring walk-through. MapMeasure Pro reads 22,800 sq ft of lawn and bed area, 480 linear feet of bed edging, 32 cubic yards of mulch at 3-inch depth, and a 240 sq ft circular bed needing an overhaul. An Options Estimate builds from those measurements: Basic Spring Cleanup at $2,895, Full Property Refresh at $6,800, Premium Design-Build Refresh at $14,500. Before & After AI renders the finished property in about 15 seconds. Mrs. Bramley taps Full Property Refresh, signs with E-Signatures on the foreman’s phone, and a $2,000 deposit is collected through QuoteIQ Payments, which is Whop-powered for new subscribers.
The Henderson hardscape consultation. MapMeasure Pro captures 680 sq ft of target patio, 38 linear feet of seat wall, a fire pit location, two step transitions, and a pergola foundation. The bid goes together in Package Estimates as Complete Outdoor Living Hardscape at $42,500 — herringbone paver field with soldier course border, plate-compacted base, polymeric sand joints, natural stone seat wall, gas fire pit insert, and pergola footing. Contract Attachments bind the product spec sheet, paver warranty, and project timeline to the estimate. The deal lands in the hardscape pipeline at 60% probability, weighting at $25,500.
Trucks back at the yard, crews clock out through Time Tracker Pro with GPS clock-out and per-job hours. Business Analytics totals the day on the phone: $3,520 across 22 mowing visits, the $245 Brennan grub treatment, and the $6,800 Bramley cleanup signed with $2,000 collected — $10,565 booked. Job Costing pulls real labor from the time entries and real materials from the expenses: the Lockhart route shows $364 revenue against $172 cost at a 53% gross margin, the Stanford commercial mow at 61%. Those are numbers no spreadsheet produces by 4:00 PM the same day.
As the day’s invoices process, Review Multiplier fires its request flow — the instant post-payment redirect to your review page plus an email and SMS review-request automation running on event triggers, pointed at Google Business Profile, Facebook, Yelp, or Angi. Sixteen requests go out. Friday evening the owner opens Pipelines & Deals on the phone: residential maintenance weighted at $16,400 of weekly recurring work, hardscape at $127,500 across 8 active deals, commercial at $54,200 across 5 bids, $198,100 of active pipeline with close rate and average deal age on the same screen.
That entire sequence — yard setup at 6:30 AM, a $245 mid-route upsell, a $6,800 cleanup closed at 11:45, a $42,500 hardscape deal added at 1:30, per-property margin reviewed by 4:00, review requests fired by 6:00 — runs on one mobile platform. No separate landscaping spreadsheet. No second photo app. No second phone line, because ClientHub provides a dedicated business number with two-way calling and texting inside the app, synced across phone, tablet, and computer.
“In 20 years of watching contractors grow, I have never seen a contractor break $300,000 while underpricing. You cannot discount your way to scale. Volume without margin is just exhaustion at a larger number.”

Landscape companies need landscape-specific mobile tooling: satellite property measurement, recurring service automation, route density, truck inventory, and visual proposals. Below are the published, same-day-verified pricing facts for the three platforms landscape owners shortlist most often. Every figure was checked on each vendor’s own pricing page on October 6, 2026 — feature-by-feature capability claims about other vendors change constantly, so for what any competitor currently includes, read their page rather than ours.
| Published pricing fact | QuoteIQ Pro | Jobber Grow | Housecall Pro Max | ServiceTitan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Headline monthly price | $149.99/mo | $199/mo month-to-month · $169/mo on a 1-year term · $149/mo prepaid annual | $329/mo month-to-month · $299/mo annual | No published rate card — quoted directly |

The comparison that matters for a landscape operation is seats against price. A four-person outfit on QuoteIQ Pro pays $149.99/month flat. The same four people on Jobber Grow start from the 5-user band at $299/month on prepaid annual billing, and on Housecall Pro they fit inside the 8-user Max tier at $299/month annual or $329/month month-to-month. That is a verified $149.01/month difference against Jobber Grow at 5 users — $1,788 over a year — and $179.01/month against Housecall Pro Max billed monthly, or $2,148 a year. Those dollars stay in the landscape business instead of going to software. If you want to model a larger enterprise platform against your own revenue, the ServiceTitan pricing calculator runs the math, and the full comparison hub covers every platform head to head.
Verified difference between QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99/month for 4 users and Jobber Grow at $299/month for 5 users on prepaid annual billing, as published on both pricing pages on October 6, 2026. Against Housecall Pro Max billed month-to-month at $329, the gap is $2,148 a year.
Quoting-and-bidding tools are their own category, and landscape owners often stack one on top of a CRM. ResponsiBid publishes a free Startup tier plus Scaling at $179/month and Pro at $229/month — both paid tiers also carry a one-time setup fee, so budget the onboarding cost alongside the subscription rather than the monthly alone. QuoteIQ covers that job natively: InstaQuote lets customers build their own quote from your service library and submit it, and InstaSchedule lets them book 24/7 against your real calendar availability. Both sit at Elite and above, with no separate subscription and no setup fee.
This is the table to read before choosing a plan, because the gates are real and matching them to your crew size is most of the buying decision.
| Landscape capability | Lowest plan that includes it | Why a landscape operation needs it |
|---|---|---|
| Options & Package Estimates | Essentials — $29.99/mo | Tiered maintenance pricing and bundled seasonal packages from day one |
| E-Signatures | Essentials — $29.99/mo | Homeowner signs the cleanup proposal on the foreman’s phone at the curb |
| Invoice Subscriptions | Essentials — $29.99/mo | Weekly mowing agreements bill themselves for the whole season |
| Consumer Financing | Essentials — $29.99/mo | Turns a $14,500 design-build quote into a monthly payment conversation |
| MapMeasure Pro | Beginner — $74.99/mo | Lawn, bed, and hardscape area measured from satellite inside the estimate |
| QuoteIQ Cam | Beginner — $74.99/mo | 4K proof-of-work on every visit; mulch depth and edge quality on record |
| Expense Tracking | Beginner — $74.99/mo | Mulch, fuel, and plant material coded to the job they belong to |
| ClientHub | Pro — $149.99/mo | A dedicated business number so crew cell numbers stay private |
| Job Costing | Pro — $149.99/mo | Per-property margin before you bid the next paver patio |
| Client Portal | Pro — $149.99/mo | HOA boards view estimates, invoices, and photo galleries themselves |

| Route Optimization + Route Density | Elite — $299/mo | The single biggest lever on a 22-stop mowing day |
| Inventory Management | Elite — $299/mo | Mulch, fertilizer, and irrigation parts tracked per truck |
| Pipelines & Deals | Elite — $299/mo | Hardscape deals never buried under mowing inquiries (5 pipelines on Elite) |
| EmployeeHub + Time Tracker Pro | Elite — $299/mo | GPS clock-in, per-job hours, live team map while crews are clocked in |
| Mass Campaigns | Elite — $299/mo | Blast the fall cleanup offer to every tagged mowing customer at once |
| Sales Team Tracker + crew scheduling | Max — $699/mo | Commission tracking per estimator; crew-level routing and analytics |
A growing landscape company needs role-based mobile access for owners, foremen, mowing teams, hardscape installers, irrigation techs, lighting installers, and estimators. EmployeeHub, available on Elite and above, gives every team member exactly what they need on the phone and nothing they do not. Roles and permissions control feature access, and permission-restricted users see shortcut cards instead of the full dashboard. One rule is absolute: clocked-out employees never appear on any map.
Team A — Premium Maintenance and Hardscape (foreman plus 3): The foreman sees the full daily schedule, customer notes, satellite property measurements, Options Estimate pricing tiers, live job costing, and AI Autopilot voice control. This team runs $115–185 per-visit maintenance tiers, $6,800–14,500 spring refreshes, and $22,000–85,000 paver and retaining wall installations. Truck #1 is set up as its own inventory location holding premium hardscape materials, mulch capacity, plate compactor, paver saw, and polymeric sand.
Team B — Recurring Mowing and Volume (foreman plus 1): The foreman sees the mowing route sequenced by Route Optimization, the recurring schedule, basic and standard maintenance pricing at $75–115 per visit, and QuoteIQ Cam for proof-of-work photos. This team carries 25–30 weekly residential stops, biweekly commercial accounts, and seasonal aeration and overseed packages. Truck #2 is its own inventory location — fuel, blades, trimmer line, fertilizer, grub treatment, blow-off equipment.
Estimator or owner: Mobile pipeline view across residential, commercial, hardscape, and lighting funnels. Estimates get built from MapMeasure Pro measurements during the walk-through and sent with a before-and-after preview attached. If you are running commissioned estimators and want per-rep conversion, cycle time, and commission percentages, that is Sales Team Tracker on the Max plan, which is also where formal crew creation, crew scheduling, and crew-level analytics live.
Worth noting for anyone sizing a team: EmployeeHub exports hours to your existing payroll system rather than running payroll itself, and it does not calculate overtime automatically. Hours, breaks, and per-job time come out as reports and CSV with a full edit history, and manual adjustments are admin-only. OSHA has reported 1,072 work-related fatalities in the landscaping and groundskeeping industry between 2011 and 2021, including 142 in 2021 alone — which is the real argument for documented clock-ins, documented job sites, and a live map of where your people are while they are on the clock.
Work-related fatalities OSHA reports in landscaping and groundskeeping from 2011 to 2021, with 142 in 2021. GPS location tracking and Time Tracker Pro exist so an owner knows which property each crew is standing on, in real time, while they are clocked in.
Channel 1 — Residential recurring mowing and maintenance. Forty-five weekly accounts at an average $95 per visit across a 32-week season is $136,800 per route per year. Two routes at 45 accounts each is $273,600 in recurring mowing revenue. Add Options-Estimate spring and fall cleanups averaging $1,950 across 65 customers — $126,750. Mulch installs averaging $1,050 across 50 accounts — $52,500. Aeration and overseed packages at $445 across 75 accounts — $33,375. That is $486,225 of residential recurring revenue for a two-truck operation, all flowing through Invoice Subscriptions and recurring scheduling. If you want to sanity-check your own per-visit pricing against the market before you set those tiers, the lawn care cost calculator is free and takes a minute, and the free landscaping invoice template covers the billing side if you have not moved off paper yet.
Channel 2 — Hardscape and design-build. Paver patios at $22,000–65,000. Retaining walls at $14,500–48,000. Outdoor kitchens and fire-pit projects at $28,000–95,000. Full backyard transformations with hardscape, lighting, planting, and irrigation at $45,000–160,000. An operation landing 14–22 projects a year averaging $38,000 generates $532,000–836,000 in design-build revenue. Pipelines & Deals keeps those separate from mowing inquiries, and Before & After AI drives tier upgrades because customers see the finished result before signing. For the estimating side of hardscape, the concrete cost calculator, deck cost calculator, and fence cost calculator all help bracket a number before you build the formal bid. Larger jobs often hinge on payment terms rather than price, which is where Consumer Financing matters — the customer applies at checkout, gets an instant decision, and you are paid in full up front while the provider carries collections and default risk.
Channel 3 — Commercial property and HOA contracts. Property management firms, office parks, retail centers, condo associations, and HOAs at $1,400–5,200 per month per property on 12-month agreements. Nine commercial accounts averaging $2,650/month is $286,200 in commercial recurring revenue — contracted, paid monthly, with predictable scheduling and route density. Commercial contracts also unlock seasonal upsells: entrance bed refreshes, holiday lighting installations, and snow removal in northern markets. Storm work and tree care subcontracting often ride along on the same accounts. Mobile pipeline tracking of commercial bids is what separates a landscape company at $600K from one at $1.8M.
Residential outdoor water use across the United States each day, per EPA WaterSense — more than showering and clothes washing combined for the average household. Irrigation audits and smart-controller retrofits are a real line of business, and they estimate exactly like any other scoped job in Standard Estimates.
“Around $75,000 to $100,000 in annual revenue is where the invisible cost of manual management typically starts exceeding what software would cost. The most expensive thing in manual management isn’t the time spent on the tasks — it’s the revenue lost to the things that don’t get done.”

Everything below runs at full feature parity on the mobile app and web, inside the same $29.99–$699 per month platform, with tier gates as noted earlier on this page. Standard Estimates, Quick Estimate, Options Estimates, Package Estimates, Scheduling, Invoicing, Invoice Subscriptions, Online Payments, Tips, E-Signatures, Contract Attachments, Client Database, ClientHub, Client Portal, Job Costing, Expense Tracking, Inventory Management, Review Multiplier, EmployeeHub, GPS Location Tracking, Time Tracker Pro, Team Communication, Roles & Permissions, Reminders & Tasks, Email & Text Automations, Mass Campaigns, Route Optimization, Route Density, AI Autopilot, AI Estimator, AI Text Generator, Before & After AI, AI Smart Import, Virtual Call Team, QuoteIQ Cam, Gallery, Before & After Photo Editor, MapMeasure Pro, Property Street View, Zillow Quick Access, Pipelines & Deals, Sales Team Tracker, Business Analytics, InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, Inspection Forms, Contact Request Forms, Business Calculators, Google Calendar Sync, Google Reserve booking, Export Data, Multi-Business, Unlimited Users on Max, and the QuickBooks Online integration are all part of the same product rather than a shelf of separate purchases. The complete list lives on the features hub.
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial. Month to month. Cancel anytime.
Annual billing is monthly times ten, so two months come free: Essentials at $299.99, Beginner at $749.99, Pro at $1,499.99, Elite at $2,990, and Max at $6,990. Each plan also carries a monthly IQ Credit allocation that powers the AI features — 500 on Essentials, 1,500 on Beginner, 3,000 on Pro, 5,000 on Elite, 8,000 on Max — resetting each billing cycle. Credits are what meter AI call minutes, before-and-after image generation, and AI measurement, and every AI action previews its credit cost and asks for confirmation before it runs. Upgrading mid-cycle is prorated and credits jump immediately.
Pro at $149.99/month is the sweet spot for most landscape companies running a foreman plus two or three crew members. Pro is where Job Costing, ClientHub, the Client Portal, and QuickBooks Online switch on — the margin and communication layer that pays for itself on the first correctly-priced cleanup. Companies adding a hardscape division, a second crew, or commercial contracts move to Elite at $299/month for InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, truck inventory, Pipelines, routing, and EmployeeHub. A one-time Done-For-You setup is available at $299.99 or $999.99 if you want contact import, price book build-out, and a one-on-one onboarding session handled for you.
Landscaping is a seasonal business pretending to be a year-round one. A 32-week mowing season means the invoicing engine has to carry twelve months of overhead on roughly eight months of route revenue, and the gap gets closed by cleanups, mulch, aeration, lighting, and in northern markets snow. The operators who survive February are the ones who booked and billed correctly in June — which is an administrative problem, not a horticultural one.
Three mechanics do most of the work here. First, Invoice Subscriptions with full discount, tax, fee, and deposit math turn a signed mowing agreement into automatic billing for the whole season, including the increasingly common flat-monthly structure where the customer pays the same amount twelve months a year regardless of cut frequency. Second, automated payment reminders with customizable timing plus Net 15/30/60/90 terms keep commercial receivables from quietly aging past 60 days. Third, Expense Tracking coded to jobs means when you look back at March, you can see whether the spring rush actually made money or just made noise.
Recordkeeping discipline matters more than most owners expect. The U.S. Small Business Administration points out that employment tax records need keeping for four years, new hires get reported to the state within 20 days, and general business records are typically held three to seven years. A seasonal operation that hires fifteen people in April and lets ten go in November touches every one of those obligations annually. Having clock-ins, job records, invoices, and expenses in one exportable system rather than four is what makes that survivable, and data export is available on every plan because the data is yours.
The IRS standard business mileage rate for July 1 through December 31, 2026, up from 72.5 cents for the first half of the year. A two-truck landscape operation running 25,000 route miles in the back half of the season is looking at a $19,000 deduction — if the mileage and the job records exist in a system that can produce them.
Very few landscape companies stay purely in maintenance. The profitable ones layer on divisions that share crews, trucks, and customers, and the CRM has to hold all of them without a second subscription. Irrigation is the most common first add — spring startups, backflow testing, zone repairs, controller retrofits, and winterization are high-margin, highly repeatable visits that schedule beautifully as recurring work. Holiday lighting is the classic December revenue bridge and estimates cleanly against the Christmas light installation cost calculator. Tree care and removal work ride along on storm calls, and the tree removal cost calculator is a fast way to bracket a number at the curb.
On the construction side, lot prep and grading work estimates against the land clearing cost calculator, drainage remediation against the French drain cost calculator, and synthetic turf installs against the artificial turf cost calculator. The full set lives on the home service business calculators hub, and the in-app Business Calculators include a mulch calculator and a National Average Guide covering reference pricing across major home-service industries.
The point is not that QuoteIQ has a special module for each of these. It is that the same Options Estimate, the same scheduling engine, the same job costing, and the same pipeline structure carry an irrigation repair, a lighting install, a mowing route, and a $42,500 patio without reconfiguration. A landscape company that runs maintenance in one app, hardscape bids in a spreadsheet, and photos in a third tool is paying three times for one job record — and more importantly, is never able to answer what a given property actually earned over a year. Lawn care and landscaping operators who consolidate stop guessing at that number.
BLS median annual pay for grounds maintenance workers in 2025 — $19.27 an hour. Labor is the dominant cost in every maintenance job you price, which is exactly why Job Costing pulls clocked hours automatically rather than asking an owner to estimate them at the end of the month.
QuoteIQ is the best mobile CRM for landscaping companies in 2026, because the whole platform runs at full parity on iPhone, Android, and web rather than shipping a cut-down companion app. Plans start at $29.99/month and the recommended Pro tier is $149.99/month for 4 users. What makes it land specifically for the green industry is the combination: MapMeasure Pro measures lawn, bed, and hardscape area from satellite imagery inside estimate creation, Options Estimates present Good/Better/Best maintenance tiers the homeowner taps on a phone, Scheduling handles recurring mowing with single-occurrence drag for rained-out days, QuoteIQ Cam documents every visit in 4K, and AI Autopilot runs 55 CRM tools across 13 categories by voice from the truck. With 1,299,200 grounds maintenance jobs in the United States and essentially none of them desk-based, mobile parity is not a nice-to-have in this trade — it is the product.
QuoteIQ runs $29.99 to $699 per month depending on seats and capability. Essentials is $29.99/month for 1 user, Beginner is $74.99 for 2, Pro is $149.99 for 4, Elite is $299 for 10, and Max is $699 for unlimited users. Annual billing is monthly times ten, so two months are free — Elite works out to $2,990 a year. There are no per-user fees inside a tier. Most two-crew landscape operations sit on Pro, which is where Job Costing and QuickBooks Online switch on; operations with routing, truck inventory, and multiple sales funnels move to Elite. For comparison on published rates, Jobber’s Grow tier lists $199/month month-to-month for one user with a 5-user band at $299/month on prepaid annual billing, and Housecall Pro’s Max tier lists $329/month month-to-month for 8 users, both verified on their own pricing pages on October 6, 2026. Before setting your own service pricing, the free lawn care cost calculator is a useful market check, and BLS median pay data gives you a labor-cost baseline.
Yes — every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose, one trial per person, business and payment method, and a credit or debit card is required to start. The trial grants the chosen plan’s features, not a different tier’s, so if you want to evaluate routing and truck inventory you start the trial on Elite rather than on Essentials. It converts to paid at the selected plan’s rate at expiry unless you cancel first, and you can cancel at any point during the trial. Billing is month to month after that, with no contract. Landscape companies get working access to MapMeasure Pro, Options Estimates, recurring scheduling, Before & After AI, and Invoicing during the window — enough to run a real week of routes rather than a demo. If you want a guided walkthrough before committing, the team runs live demos. For context on what the trade’s operating standards look like while you evaluate, the National Association of Landscape Professionals is the main industry body.
Yes. MapMeasure Pro measures lawn area, garden beds, driveways, hardscape footprints, fence lines, and tree canopies directly from satellite imagery on the mobile app, and it lives inside estimate creation rather than in a separate measuring tool — so an 18,400 sq ft front-and-back lawn becomes priced line items without re-entry. Drawing tools handle irregular shapes, measurements save to the customer profile for the next visit, screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof of scope, roof segments auto-detect with color-coded pitch, and a historical aerial timeline lets you scroll back through years of imagery on a property to see what changed. Companions include Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access for lot context before you drive out. MapMeasure Pro is available on Beginner at $74.99/month and above. Measured area also drives irrigation and water-use conversations, which matter given that EPA WaterSense puts U.S. residential outdoor water use near 8 billion gallons a day, and it feeds straight into Options Estimates at your per-square-foot rates — which you can pressure-test first against the free lawn care cost calculator.
On published pricing verified October 6, 2026, QuoteIQ Pro is $149.99/month and includes 4 users at that flat price. Jobber lists Grow at $199/month month-to-month for a single user, $169/month on a one-year term, and $149/month prepaid annually, with a 5-user band at $299/month and additional users at $29/month each; named add-ons are published separately at $29/month for AI Receptionist, $99/month for Marketing Suite, and $49/month for Pipeline. For a four-person landscape crew that works out to a $149.01/month difference against the 5-user Grow band, or $1,788 a year. What QuoteIQ includes natively at that price is the landscape-specific layer: satellite measurement inside the estimate, Before & After AI, AI Autopilot, and tiered Options Estimates on every plan. Both platforms move quickly, so check their current feature list on their own site; the side-by-side breakdown lives on the comparison hub. Weigh the monthly difference against crew cost — BLS puts median grounds maintenance pay at $19.27 an hour, so the annual gap is roughly ninety billable crew-hours.
Yes. Scheduling populates weekly mowing, biweekly maintenance, monthly fertilization, and seasonal aeration from one setup, and a rained-out Tuesday is a single drag — you can move one occurrence of a recurring series without disturbing the rest of the season. Invoice Subscriptions then bill those agreements automatically with full discount, tax, fee, and deposit handling, including flat-monthly structures where the customer pays the same amount year-round. An accepted Options Estimate converts to a recurring subscription in one action, so the sale and the billing schedule are never entered twice. Automated payment reminders with customizable timing and Net 15/30/60/90 terms keep commercial receivables current, and Email & Text Automations handle the customer-facing sequences around them. All of it is critical for operations carrying 40–90 recurring residential accounts, and it is also what makes the recordkeeping the SBA expects of a seasonal employer survivable. Everything runs on the phone.
Yes, on the Elite plan at $299/month and above. Inventory Management runs five modules — Products, Locations, Suppliers, Orders, and Transactions — and Locations can be warehouses, trucks, or job sites, which is how a landscape operation tracks mulch by cubic yard, fertilizer by bag, herbicide by gallon, sod by pallet, irrigation parts by SKU, lighting fixtures by wattage, and pavers by pallet per vehicle. Products carry SKU, category, unit, cost, and reorder point with In Stock, Low, and Out indicators, and cost, customer price, and margin are visible in the list. Materials on estimates and invoices link to products so pricing stays current. One mechanic to understand: stock deducts when the invoice is paid, and a deposit alone does not count as paid — which is the correct behavior for hardscape work where materials arrive weeks after the deposit. Pair it with Expense Tracking and the mileage you log at the IRS rate of 76 cents per mile for the second half of 2026, and read the usage and value trends back in Business Analytics.
QuoteIQ at the Elite tier, because Pipelines & Deals separates recurring residential maintenance, commercial property contracts, hardscape design-build, irrigation installs, landscape lighting, and HOA agreements into distinct funnels with their own stages and close probabilities. A $42,500 paver patio bid never gets buried under 30 weekly mowing inquiries, and weighted value — amount times probability — gives you a forecast per channel rather than one meaningless total. Elite runs up to five pipelines; Max is unlimited. The rest of the stack carries both sides of the business without reconfiguration: the same Package Estimates that bundle a spring cleanup also bundle a complete outdoor living build, the same Job Costing reports margin on a $364 mowing route and a $42,500 patio, and Consumer Financing turns large design-build numbers into monthly payments. Safety documentation matters more on the hardscape side too, where OSHA reports 1,072 industry fatalities from 2011 to 2021.
A walkthrough of the platform as a field crew actually uses it — estimate, schedule, document, invoice, and collect, all from the phone.
Watch Video →Switching a landscape operation mid-season sounds worse than it is. Most companies are running routes in QuoteIQ within a week, and the sequence below is the one that works.
Start your 14-day free trial on the plan that matches your crew, because the trial grants that plan’s features and nothing above it. A solo operator starts on Essentials; a two-truck maintenance-plus-hardscape company starts on Elite so routing, truck inventory, and pipelines are live during the evaluation. A credit or debit card is required to start.
Bring your customer list over with AI Smart Import, which maps CSV columns automatically from any CRM export or from your phone contacts. Then build the price book around your real service catalog — per-visit mowing tiers, mulch by the yard, cleanup packages, hardscape unit pricing — so Options Estimates assemble themselves at the curb rather than being typed out property by property.
Take a single mowing route and a single cleanup or hardscape bid all the way through: measure with MapMeasure Pro, quote with tiers, document with QuoteIQ Cam, collect with Online Payments, and read the margin in Job Costing. One complete loop teaches the crew more than a week of partial use, and it tells you whether your current pricing holds up.
Convert signed maintenance agreements into Invoice Subscriptions so the season bills itself, switch on Email & Text Automations and Review Multiplier, then add your people in EmployeeHub with the right roles and permissions. If you would rather hand the setup off, Done-For-You onboarding is available at $299.99 or $999.99 one time.
Mike Vidan — Co-Founder, QuoteIQ. Mike built and ran home service operations before writing a single software requirement, which is why the product assumes a truck rather than a desk. His work on pricing discipline and margin is the throughline in how QuoteIQ handles estimates: tiered options first, discounting last.
Justin Rogers — Co-Founder, QuoteIQ. Justin’s focus is the threshold where manual management quietly starts costing more than software — the point at which missed follow-ups, unbilled visits, and unpriced upsells outrun the cost of a subscription. That framing shaped the automation and follow-up layer of the platform.
