Estima vs LawnBook

Estima is an all-in-one CRM for landscape and hardscape professionals, covering estimates, proposals, scheduling, invoicing, and QuickBooks Online synchronization. Service-specific estimate builders provide editable labor grids, material catalogs, and templates for landscape, hardscape, irrigation, lighting, snow, and lawn care. Satellite mapping calculates square footage and linear feet for estimates. Hardscape projects include Kanban boards, Gantt charts, tasks, and schedule dates. Branded proposals can be accepted and signed online. Billing supports recurring charges, merged invoices, deposits, milestone payments, change orders, late fees, and account credits. Every plan includes two-way QuickBooks Online sync for invoices and payments. The browser-installed Estima Crew app shows routes and jobs and works offline. Packages include unlimited estimates, proposals, and clients, plus Estima Crew, Website Leads, and Site Media. Plans range from Maintenance at $200 a month to Complete at $395 a month, with separate add-ons and limits.

LawnBook is a lawn-care business management app for organizing clients, jobs, invoices, routes, and expenses. Scheduling includes recurring services, daily job lists, weather-aware rescheduling, and route optimization. It creates PDF invoices and estimates, captures signatures, tracks payments, and sends automated overdue reminders. Clients can pay through Stripe, PayPal, or Venmo from a branded invoice portal. LawnBook says its features work offline and business records stay on the device. Optional iCloud sync is off by default, and Google Drive backup is also listed. The Pro plan includes QuickBooks and Xero exports; importing clients from those services is supported. The Free plan is $0.00, billed forever, and allows up to 15 clients with basic invoicing and estimates, scheduling, expense tracking, time and mileage tracking, and backup. Pro costs $9.99 per month and includes unlimited clients and jobs, AI briefing, invoicing and reports, a tax center, and accounting exports. The app is listed for Android, iOS, and macOS; mobile access is listed for iOS.
