MowProHQ vs Yardbook

MowProHQ is a dashboard for lawn care and landscaping operators that brings scheduling, estimates, customer messaging, invoicing, and payments together. Estimates can use satellite measurements for turf, houses, mulch, and hardscape, with square footage updating as the user draws. Its calendar has day, week, month, and agenda views, and jobs can be pushed to Google Calendar. Growth adds dispatch, route optimization, GPS crew location tracking, chemical and spray program tracking, and timeclock and timesheets. Payments are supported through NMI via Omega Bank Card, Stripe, and Square; Stripe and Square carry their processing rates plus a 1.5% platform fee. Free iPhone, iPad, and Android apps are available, while owners manage customers, quotes, invoices, and websites on the web. The Free plan supports up to two team members. Growth costs $39 a month and Pro costs $89 a month. Optional add-ons include a business phone for $19 a month and an AI receptionist for $29 a month; the receptionist does not quote prices or book jobs. Customer, property, quote, and invoice data can be exported.
