Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 31 of the 87 other field service apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SynkedUP, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and rates, overhead and production rates have to be entered before estimates work.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $179 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $179 per month, billed annually ($199 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
Starter plan: first 50 jobs free
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
AI estimating agent
Records of a property walkthrough are turned into work areas and line items from the contractor's templates, then priced by a pricing engine using their own rates.
- 6
Budgeting and overhead recovery
Budgeting tools set labor rates and overhead recovery so each estimate shows break-even and net profit on every line.
- 7
Proposals
E-signature proposals with optional line items, photos and video, automated follow-ups and notifications when a customer opens one.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 31 of 87
That is against the other field service apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Starter is $179 a month, above the dearer quarter's $99, and job costing and scheduling only start at Standard at $359 for 2 users. |
| Free plan and trial | D | First 50 jobs free on Starter. That is a limited trial, and the page does not say if a card is needed. |
| Features | B | Estimating, proposals, scheduling, time tracking, job costing and QuickBooks invoicing for landscape firms. Starter only holds the first two. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and rates, overhead and production rates have to be entered before estimates work. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iOS and Android with QuickBooks Online, Zapier and Claude. No desktop app is listed. |
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.

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
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.
