LawnBoss is the modern, mobile-first upgrade from Yardbook: free, with QuickBooks sync, AI satellite estimating, crew payroll, fleet tracking, commercial contracts, and a referral growth engine — no paid tiers between you and the features that actually run a lawn business.
Yardbook helped a generation of lawn pros get organized. LawnBoss takes everything that worked and rebuilds it for how a lawn business actually operates today — with features Yardbook doesn't offer at any price. AI property estimating from satellite maps. Two-way QuickBooks sync that keeps your books clean without double entry. Built-in crew payroll with overtime rules. Fleet and equipment tracking. A commercial hub for multi-property clients. And a neighbor lead network that finds you new jobs in the same zip codes you already work. Keep your customers, upgrade your tools.

About Yardbook: Yardbook has a long track record with a loyal following and accounting-style features that some operators rely on. Its free tier is genuinely accessible and it's a familiar, proven option for operators who want basic job and invoice management.
LawnBoss is free and built specifically for lawn care, landscaping, and snow removal. It includes everything Yardbook has — scheduling, CRM, invoicing, estimates, contracts, route optimization, review requests — and adds features Yardbook doesn't have at any price: AI satellite estimating, built-in crew payroll, fleet management, a commercial multi-property hub, and a referral growth engine. All free, no paid upgrade required.
Both start free, but LawnBoss is built mobile-first as an installable progressive web app and includes deep features Yardbook doesn't offer: AI property estimating from satellite, QuickBooks two-way sync, crew payroll with overtime rules, fleet tracking, a commercial hub for HOAs and multi-location accounts, and a neighbor referral network. Yardbook's free tier covers the basics; LawnBoss covers everything at no cost.
Yes. Import your customers into LawnBoss and start scheduling and invoicing immediately. No contract, no onboarding fee — try both side by side if you want before fully switching.
