The report card
Best for landscape companies that budget job by job
LMN is landscaping software for budgeting, estimating, scheduling, invoicing and job costing, with a crew app. It starts at $297 a month on top of a one-time onboarding fee, extra licences cost extra, and it has no trial.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Starter is $297 a month and Professional $648, both billed monthly and both above the category's dearest tenth at $208. A one-time onboarding fee applies and its amount isn't shown. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial on record, only a demo booking. |
| Features | B | Budgeting and estimating, scheduling with a crew app, invoicing with LMN Pay, a CRM and customer portal, job costing and reporting. The listing shows no gap in the landscape job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Budgets and estimating rates have to be set up before the numbers mean anything. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with QuickBooks, Zapier, LMN Pay and Greenius links. No desktop app, and the pages read name no phone platforms. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who LMN is for
- Fits if you run a landscape company and want each job priced from your own costs
- Works for firms that invoice and take payment through one tool
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you are small: $297 a month is six times the category's middle price
- Not for you if you want a trial, since none is on record
- Skip it if you also do tree care, as the same company sells SingleOps separately for that
- Watch out: prices include a set number of licences, extra licences cost more, and a one-time onboarding fee is added
- Watch out: Enterprise pricing is sales-only
Good to know
Good for
- Landscape maintenance and design-build companies
- Firms that price jobs from an overhead budget
- Growing crews that want job costing
Worth knowing
- Prices are starting prices that include a set number of licenses; extra licenses are charged separately.
- The pricing page notes a one-time onboarding fee on the listed prices; its amount is not shown.
- Enterprise pricing is available through sales only.
- LMN is landscaping-specific; the same company's SingleOps covers tree care and is sold separately.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of LMN you could make: quotes and estimates, invoicing, job scheduling, time tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 55 other field service apps grade higher. It costs $3,564 a year.
What you could make
- Quotes and estimates, invoicing, job scheduling, time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. LMN’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
