Who are Jobber and LMN?
Jobber
Jobber is an all-in-one field service management platform built for 50+ home service industries.
More than 400,000 service pros use Jobber to handle quoting, scheduling, invoicing, payments, and client communication from a single app.
LMN
LMN (Landscape Management Network) is a field service management platform built specifically for landscaping and green industry businesses.
LMN is known for its production-rate estimating, detailed job costing, and budgeting tools. It splits functionality across separate apps — LMN Crew, LMN Time, and LMN CRM.
Core operations
Jobber covers the full job lifecycle in one platform — from the first quote to the final payment and the follow-up that wins your next job. LMN offers more in-depth landscape-specific estimating and job costing, but it doesn’t include marketing tools, online booking, or automated invoice follow-ups.

Built for how you actually work
Jobber runs your entire operation — quoting, scheduling, invoicing, payments, and client communication — from a single app, while LMN splits that across three separate tools. That means less toggling between apps and fewer costly mistakes for your crew.
One app for your whole day
Jobber handles quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payments without switching between tools. Your office team and field crew work from the same platform, so updates happen in real time.
The Jobber mobile app keeps everything accessible from your phone — whether you’re on a job site or driving to the next one. LMN requires separate apps for crew management, time tracking, and CRM — which means more toggling, more room for mistakes, and slower days.
Collect payments online and in the field
Jobber automates invoice follow-ups and gives clients a simple way to pay through Client Hub — by credit card, ACH, or Tap to Pay. You can even offer consumer financing for quotes on larger jobs.
Service pros who collect payment online with Jobber get paid 4x faster compared to waiting on checks.
LMN doesn’t offer automatic invoice follow-ups or a mobile card reader for collecting payment in the field.
Marketing that books more work
Jobber’s Marketing Tools— Reviews, Campaigns, Referrals, and Websites — helps you win new business from your existing client base without spending hours on marketing.
Businesses using Jobber’s automated review requests earn 2x as many Google reviews per month, and 80% of marketing campaigns led to a new job booked within 30 days. LMN doesn’t include any marketing tools.

Why landscaping businesses choose Jobber
Switching from LMN to Jobber
Making the switch doesn’t mean starting from scratch. The process takes less than two weeks and costs nothing extra:
Tell us your setup
Share what you’re using today — your client list, job history, and how your team works. We’ll map out a plan to bring everything into Jobber.
Free data migration
We’ll move your client data, job history, and key records into Jobber at no extra cost — typically in 3–5 business days.
Team training
Your crew gets hands-on training so they’re comfortable with Jobber before day one. We offer 1-on-1 onboarding sessions to walk you through scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and payments.
Go live
Most teams are fully live within 10 days. We recommend running both systems side-by-side for about a week so nothing falls through the cracks.
Jobber vs. LMN: Which should you choose?
Choosing the right software comes down to what your business actually needs day to day. Both platforms have real strengths — here’s how to decide.
Choose LMN if:
- You run a landscaping-only business and need production-rate estimating. LMN’s estimating system is purpose-built for the green industry, with production rates that tie directly into job costing. If detailed landscape estimating is central to how you bid work, LMN goes deeper here.
- You rely on QuickBooks Desktop. LMN offers a direct QuickBooks Desktop integration on Professional and Enterprise plans. Jobber syncs with QuickBooks Online and Xero, but doesn’t support QuickBooks Desktop.
- You need built-in budgeting and seasonal planning. LMN’s Professional and Enterprise plans include full budgeting capabilities and subcontractor tracking that larger landscape operations may need for seasonal planning.
Choose Jobber if:
- You want one app that handles quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payments — without mandatory onboarding fees. Jobber’s entry-level plan starts at $149/mo with no hidden costs. LMN’s Starter plan is $297/mo plus a $797 onboarding fee.
- You need marketing tools to win new business. Jobber’s Marketing Tools include a Website builder, Reviews, Campaigns, and Referrals — tools that LMN doesn’t offer at all. Service pros using Jobber grow revenue an average of 37% in their first year.
- You serve any home service industry beyond landscaping — or want faster setup. Jobber works for 50+ industries, and your team can learn it in days, not weeks. Jobber’s quoting tools also help you bid landscaping jobs with confidence, using optional add-ons, images, and automated follow-ups.
