Aspire vs. SingleOps vs. LMN: Which Landscape Business Software Fits Your Crew?
All three cover CRM, scheduling, and job costing, but they're built for different crew sizes and operational complexity. The right pick depends on your headcount.
Aspire vs. SingleOps vs. LMN at a glance
Pricing based on published rates for each platform.
Every "best landscaping software" list ranks the same three tools in the same order. The real question is which one matches your crew size, division structure, and whether you need true manufacturing-level job costing or just clean scheduling and invoicing.
Monthly price comparison
The Aspire-vs-SingleOps-vs-LMN decision weighs cost against operational complexity, not raw feature count.
Aspire: $550/mo — built for 10-200 employees
Aspire is the deepest platform — CRM, crew scheduling, budgeting, and real-time job costing across design/build and maintenance divisions. It integrates with QuickBooks Online, Samsara, CompanyCam, and Gusto. That depth is the point: it's built for operations complex enough to need division-level P&L visibility and multi-warehouse material tracking. Below 10 employees, you're paying for configuration options you won't touch.
SingleOps: $400/mo — built for 5-150 employees
SingleOps covers the same core jobs — CRM, proposals, scheduling, and invoicing — at $150/mo less than Aspire. It integrates with QuickBooks Online and Podium, and it's popular with landscape, lawn care, and tree care companies that need a single system but don't yet have the division complexity that justifies Aspire's overhead.
LMN: $300/mo — built for 5-100 employees
LMN is the most focused of the three: budgeting, estimating, and crew time-tracking with heavy emphasis on true job-cost accuracy. It integrates with QuickBooks Online. If your biggest pain point is knowing whether each job actually made money, and you're not yet ready for a full ERP, LMN is usually the right starting point.

The biggest mistake is paying for Aspire's division-level P&L when you have a single-crew operation. SingleOps or LMN covers the same core jobs at half the cost.
The actual decision rule
Under ~10 employees, maintenance-focused: LMN or SingleOps depending on whether job-cost accuracy or proposal-to-invoice workflow matters more.
- Under ~10 employees, maintenance-focused: LMN or SingleOps depending on whether job-cost accuracy (LMN) or proposal-to-invoice workflow (SingleOps) matters more.
- 10-25 employees with design/build and maintenance divisions: Aspire's real-time job costing and division reporting usually justify the premium.
- 25+ employees or multiple locations: Aspire's depth becomes table stakes, and the question shifts to add-ons like Samsara and CompanyCam.
