What Mow Mapper does that Jobber doesn't
- Plans the mowing inside each yard. Mow Mapper measures the lawn from the satellite view, marks the beds and trees, and lays out the passes, the turns, and the mowing and trimming time for your deck. Jobber plans the drive between jobs; it does not plan the mowing in the yard.
- Prices from the time a yard takes, for the mower you run, before you ever drive to it.
- Costs less, and crews are free. One plan, with the day's driving route included.
What Jobber does that Mow Mapper doesn't
- An Android app. Mow Mapper runs on iPhone and the web.
- Card and bank payments processed through the software, and a client portal.
- Quotes with line items, upsells and automatic follow-ups.
- QuickBooks Online sync, online booking, and marketing tools on higher plans.
- Every kind of field service, not just mowing.
Which one to pick
If mowing is the business and the truck is you and maybe a helper, Mow Mapper does the part of the job Jobber doesn't, for a fifth of the price. If you are building a multi-service company with an office, Jobber is built for that and Mow Mapper is not. Both have free trials, so the honest answer is to try the one that sounds like you.
