Jobber is a solid general-purpose field service tool. But "general purpose" means it wasn't designed around line-item estimates, materials and product tracking, multi-day project scheduling, crew dispatch, or the way landscaping and design-build businesses actually price and run jobs. LandscapeBossPro was.
The features that matter most for landscaping and design-build — not general field service.

The moment you add your 6th employee on Jobber, you're bumped to a higher tier. Add more features, pay more. Add more users, pay more. LandscapeBossPro has one price — $129/month — that covers your entire team, every feature, forever. No tiers. No per-seat math. No surprises on your invoice.
Build detailed bids the way landscapers actually price work — separate line items for plants, sod, stone, mulch, labor, and equipment. LandscapeBossPro totals materials and margin for you. Jobber gives you a flat quote box, not a material takeoff.
Every project tracks the materials and products it consumes — pavers, plantings, soil, edging, aggregate. Know what each job cost in materials and what it earned. Jobber has job notes. That's not the same thing as real material tracking.
See every project on one board, assign crews, and dispatch routes in a couple clicks. Stops, sq ft, and crew load all in one view before you commit to a day. Jobber has basic scheduling — not a board built for multi-crew project work.
Send and receive text messages inside LandscapeBossPro with full conversation history per contact. Jobber has limited client messaging — not a full SMS inbox with inbound/outbound history organized by customer.
Set recurring maintenance schedules per property, track what's due, and renew plans automatically. Jobber handles recurring jobs, but not the maintenance-plan model landscapers use to manage a full book of recurring properties.
Every employee — crew, office staff, managers — included at $129/month. Jobber charges per tier based on user count. Add your 6th employee and your bill goes up. Ours doesn't.
Jobber does a lot of things well. But it was designed to work for cleaning companies, HVAC techs, plumbers, and dozens of other trades. When you build software for everyone, you can't build the deep features that project- and material-heavy landscaping businesses actually need. LandscapeBossPro was built by people who ran landscape crews — and it shows.
Pull up your service area on the job board and LandscapeBossPro instantly shows every property with work due — total stops, project types, sq ft, all calculated before you assign a single crew. Jobber has basic scheduling. That's completely different from a board built for multi-crew landscape projects. No general-purpose tool maps work to crews like this.
Jobber has been around for years and has a solid UI. But LandscapeBossPro was designed specifically for the way landscaping businesses work — which means less configuration, less hunting through menus, and a job board that actually makes sense for multi-day, multi-crew project work.
Add your services and materials, import clients and properties, connect payments, set up your SMS alerts — most owners are fully operational the same day. No onboarding call, no implementation consultant, no 90-day timeline to get started.
Everything flows through the job board — estimates, materials, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing. It's designed the way a landscaping business thinks about its day. Not the way a plumber or cleaning company would.
The mobile app shows your crews exactly what they need — today's stops, the property notes, the materials list, the complete button. No training videos, no IT ticket, no confused crew. They're using it on day one.
SMS alerts, estimate follow-ups, payment reminders, review requests — set them up once and LandscapeBossPro runs them every time, automatically. You're not babysitting automations or configuring Zapier workflows.
No tiers. No per-seat fees. No upgrade prompts. Just $129/month for your entire operation.
No contracts. Cancel anytime. No hidden fees — ever.
