Plannit vs Smart Book

Plannit is lawn care business software for managing recurring schedules, routes, customers, quotes, invoices, and payments. It supports seasonal visits and crew assignments, with optimized driving routes, employee GPS tracking, a mobile punch clock, job checklists, and in-app team chat. Customer records can include multiple addresses, searchable histories, notes, and linked messages. Estimate and invoice templates, customizable quotes, contract renewals, and online payments cover office and field work. Accounting interfaces for QuickBooks, Sage, and Acomba can sync invoices and payments. The included mobile app handles communications, jobs, and field information. The free plan costs nothing, supports two users, and limits job tracking to 25 jobs per month. Pro costs $59 a month billed monthly, or $49/mo. billed annually. A credit card is required to start a paid-plan trial, but it is not charged if the trial is canceled before it ends. Listed platforms are Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows.

Smart Book is a CRM and field-service management platform for owner-led local service businesses, including lawn care, cleaning, property maintenance, pool service, HVAC and pest control. It manages customers, schedules, recurring work, estimates, invoices, reporting and field roles. Jobs can run once or recur weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or on a custom schedule. Estimates support line items and secure approval links; accepted work can become a job, with invoices tied to the client and job. Technicians use the My Day phone workflow to see assigned jobs, route order, directions, notes and attachments, then mark starts and completions. Stripe connections support invoice payments, saved cards and AutoPay when enabled and authorized; processing fees are separate. The Whole Crew plan costs $30 a month or $300 a year, both with unlimited team members and owner, admin, dispatcher and technician roles. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Smart Book runs on Android, iOS and web.
