Icey vs SaberTask SnowManager

Icey is snow removal and ice management software for handling quotes, dispatch, crew records and invoices. It runs on Android, iOS and web. Its storm board supports route assignment and dispatch, and route optimization is available for planning work. Field Mode gives crews GPS tracking, job timers, photos, navigation and offline use. Icey also displays live conditions and snowfall forecasts; users can attach a weather note to a storm event. A live client link, which does not require a login, shows service status, a client’s place in the storm queue and photos of completed work. Salt and de-icing logs can record material, application rate, timestamp, GPS location and photos for each site and visit. The free plan is for up to 15 active sites and five operator seats, with unlimited admin and office users and clients. Pro is listed at $79 a month, and Season Pass at $790 a year. Icey exports invoices as a CSV that QuickBooks imports, but it does not have direct QuickBooks sync. Card payments are not built in; invoices are marked paid manually.

SaberTask SnowManager coordinates winter snow-removal work for contractors and municipal road-maintenance teams. Managers can follow dispatches on a live map, view completed stops and inspect driven routes. Its iPhone and Android field app lets crews accept dispatches, navigate, take photos and update tasks, including offline. GPS check-ins and check-outs, routes, timestamps and photos can support proof-of-service reports. Municipal teams can paint or import road routes, monitor coverage and review each street’s pass history. The platform supports seasonal, per-task, per-snow-depth and hourly billing, with connections to e-conomic, Dinero, QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. Subcontractors can respond to dispatches, receive assigned addresses and have settlements drafted from completed stops. Starter costs $99 a month, billed monthly, and Professional costs $249 a month, billed monthly; both have a 14-day trial. SnowManager states it is GDPR compliant, hosted in European data centres and covered by an independently audited ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
