In their own words
SoloOp
SoloOp handles scheduling, invoicing, and payments for recurring residential or mixed commercial landscaping work. Jobs can repeat weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or on a custom cycle, and recurring jobs are generated automatically. Its Gravity engine recommends a day for a new property based on the operator’s other jobs. Rain Mode can push back, redistribute, or park a day’s work and notify affected clients of their revised date. Clients can pay card or ACH invoices through Stripe; SoloOp says the processing fee is added to the client’s total by default. Other listed features include AutoPay, a client portal, offline mode, expense tracking, crew support, tax reporting, CSV export, overdue-payment reminders, estimates, proposals, and client messaging. SoloOp is listed for Android, iOS, and web, and says it is available in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, with feature availability varying by region. The Free plan includes every feature and has no subscription; payment processing fees apply to client payments made through the app.
