A Jobber alternative built only for lawn & snow
Jobber is good, general field-service software — it serves plumbers, cleaners, HVAC, and lawn companies alike. That breadth is also the trade-off: pricing climbs by plan and by team size, and nothing in it is specific to mowing routes or plow routes.
Lawn Service IQ does one industry. Lawn and snow companies, one truck or twenty. Mowing routes, snow routes, chemical application tracking, satellite lot measurement, weather-aware rescheduling — and a flat price that doesn't move when you hire.

Common questions
›Is Lawn Service IQ cheaper than Jobber?
For most lawn companies, yes — especially as the team grows. Jobber's plans scale with users and features; Lawn Service IQ is one flat price — $490/year or $99/month — with unlimited users included.
›Can I import my data from Jobber?
Export your clients and properties from Jobber as CSV, then use the Import screen in Settings. Customers, properties, and price lists all come over.
›Does Lawn Service IQ do everything Jobber does?
No — and that's the point. Jobber covers every trade; Lawn Service IQ covers lawn and snow deeply. If a feature exists because lawn companies need it (dispatch, crew app, estimates, invoicing, chemical tracking, snow routes, proof of service), it's in. If it exists for plumbers, it isn't.
