MowProHQ

MowProHQ brings scheduling, estimates, customer messaging, invoicing, and payments into one dashboard for lawn care and landscaping operators. Estimates can use satellite measurements for turf, houses, mulch, and hardscape, with square footage updating as the user draws. Its calendar offers day, week, month, and agenda views, and jobs can be pushed to Google Calendar. Growth adds dispatch, route optimization, GPS crew location tracking, chemical and spray program tracking, and timeclock and timesheets. Payment options include NMI through Omega Bank Card, Stripe, and Square; Stripe and Square carry their processing rates plus a 1.5% platform fee. Free iPhone, iPad, and Android apps are available, while owners manage customers, quotes, invoices, and websites on the web. The Free plan supports up to two team members. Growth costs $39/mo and Pro costs $89/mo. Optional add-ons include a business phone for $19/mo and an AI receptionist for $29/mo; the receptionist does not quote prices or book jobs. The maker also lists support for businesses including pool service, pest control, pressure washing, window cleaning, irrigation, and snow removal.

MowProHQ combines field-service scheduling, estimating, customer communication, and billing, with additional crew tools in Growth. The Free plan is limited to two team members, and payment fees vary by processor.

MowProHQ suits lawn care and landscaping operators, from solo businesses to growing crews, who need scheduling, estimating, invoicing, and payment tools. The maker also lists several other service businesses it supports.

MowProHQ is a field-service platform for lawn care, landscaping, and related operators that want sales, scheduling, communication, and billing in one system. It suits solo businesses and expanding crews, with the free tier aimed at very small teams and Growth adding the operational controls larger crews need. The main appeal is broad workflow coverage; the main constraint is the sharp two-member ceiling on Free.

Overview

MowProHQ brings customer records, quotes, agreements, schedules, messages, invoices, payments, and a customer portal into one dashboard. Its service focus extends to pool service, pest control, pressure washing, window cleaning, irrigation, and snow removal, although its estimating and crew features are clearly geared toward outdoor work.

Free is a credible operating tier rather than a temporary teaser: it includes CRM, scheduling, quotes, agreements, invoicing, a portal, and a website editor. Up to two team members can use it, making it practical for an owner and one helper. Businesses that outgrow that headcount must move to Growth or Pro.

Key features

Estimating and scheduling

Satellite measurements cover turf, houses, mulch, and hardscape, with square footage updating as an operator draws. That can make property-based quotes more consistent than estimating areas manually. Day, week, month, and agenda calendar views support different planning styles, recurring jobs are supported, and jobs can be pushed to Google Calendar.

Crew operations

Growth adds dispatch, route optimization, GPS crew locations, chemical and spray-program tracking, plus timeclocks and timesheets. These are meaningful controls for a company coordinating multiple crews; they are unnecessary expense for a solo operator who only needs a basic calendar.

Customer contact and payments

Customer messaging, invoicing, and payment collection share the same workflow. MowProHQ supports NMI through Omega Bank Card, Stripe, and Square. Stripe and Square charge their own processing rates plus a 1.5% MowProHQ platform fee, so processor choice affects the real cost of collection. NMI rates are specified by plan.

Web, mobile, and integrations

Owners manage customers, quotes, invoices, and websites on the web, while free iPhone, iPad, and Android apps extend access to the field. Integrations include QuickBooks, Mailchimp, Google Calendar, Google reviews, and NMI, Stripe, or Square payments. Customer, property, quote, and invoice data belongs to the user and can be exported. Passwords use salted hashes, sessions are encrypted, and processor API keys and other sensitive settings are encrypted at rest.

Pricing

Free — free. Up to two team members receive CRM, scheduling, quotes, agreements, invoicing, a customer portal, and website editing. NMI processing is 4% + $0.30. This is the sensible starting point for a solo operator or two-person business, but not for a growing crew.

Growth — $39 a month. It allows unlimited team members and adds dispatch, route optimization, GPS, chemical and spray tracking, timeclock, a live website, and an NMI rate of 3.5% + $0.30. It is the practical plan for established crews.

Pro — $89 a month. Everything in Growth is included, plus AI website generation and regeneration, Get Found listings and SEO tools, priority support, and the same 3.5% + $0.30 NMI rate. Choose it when marketing automation or faster support justifies the premium.

A 30-day trial is offered. Optional add-ons include Business phone at $19 a month (local number, visit reminders, two-way replies, and missed-call text back), AI credit boost at $19 a month on Growth and Pro (extra daily credits resetting every 24 hours), and AI receptionist at $29 a month with 40 conversations included, then $0.79 each. The receptionist does not quote prices or book jobs.

Platforms

MowProHQ runs on web, Android, iPhone, and iPad. The web app is the management center for owners, while mobile apps support field access.

Who it's for

Choose MowProHQ if you run lawn care, landscaping, or one of its supported adjacent services and want estimating, recurring scheduling, customer communication, invoicing, and payments together. Free fits a solo operator or two-person partnership. Growth is better for teams needing dispatch and route visibility. Pro is for operators that also value built-in website generation, SEO tools, and priority support.

Alternatives

Browse Landscaping Software for a broader category comparison. Pick Lawn Buddy instead if its single-user free tier and 4.8% plus $.30 card pricing suit a one-person operation without a trial. LawnBook is an alternative for macOS users wanting a free tier capped at 15 clients with expense, time, and mileage tracking. Choose LawnPro when a free one-user plan for up to 25 customers or its Startup tier better matches your headcount. Grass Go is another free, no-trial option across Android, iOS, and web. Plannit suits businesses seeking broad platform coverage and a free two-user tier. SoloOp is a free alternative for a solo operator. Yardbook is worth considering for free routing, lot measurement, expenses, and reports. TurfHop is an alternative with Truck at $49 per month for two users plus unlimited employees.

Verdict

MowProHQ is a strong choice for lawn and landscape operators who want one system to carry a job from measured estimate through scheduling, customer contact, invoicing, and payment. Start with Free if two users are enough; choose Growth when crew coordination becomes central. Look elsewhere if you need more than two free seats or want to avoid processor fees layered with a platform charge.
