Best for landscape contractors who price jobs from their own costs
SynkedUP builds landscape estimates from your own labour rates and overhead, with an AI that drafts one from a walkthrough, then adds scheduling, time tracking and job costing. Starter has none of the scheduling or costing, those begin at $359, and monthly billing carries a $1,000 activation fee.
Who SynkedUP is for
- Fits if you run a landscape or hardscape firm and know your overhead and rates
- Works for contractors who want job costing tied to the estimate
Who SynkedUP is not for
- Pricey if you want costing and scheduling, which start at $359 a month
- Watch out: Standard and PRO charge a $1,000 activation fee on monthly billing, waived on annual
- Watch out: extra users are $20 a month each beyond 2 or 5 included
- Tight if you want GPS timesheets, Zapier or MCP access, which are PRO only at $539
- Skip it if you are outside landscaping

Keep SynkedUP, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace SynkedUP you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $2,148 a year.
What you could make
- Quotes and estimates, job scheduling, time tracking and invoicing: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. SynkedUP’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.
What is SynkedUP?
SynkedUP is business software for landscape contractors, including hardscape, maintenance, design/build, snow and sitework firms. It prices estimates from the contractor's own labor rates, overhead and production rates, with an AI agent that builds the estimate from a recorded walkthrough, then adds proposals, scheduling, time tracking, job costing and QuickBooks invoicing. Three tiers are priced per month.

- GPS-stamped timesheets, MCP access for AI tools and Zapier automations are PRO only.
Key features
