About Yardbook
Yardbook is business management software for lawn care and landscaping companies, built for small operations. It covers the core office work of a lawn and landscape business: customers, jobs and scheduling, estimates, invoices, routing, expenses and reports, with card payments from customers.
Its main draw is price. The Starter plan is free with no subscription fee. The catch is a 1% processing fee that Yardbook charges on each online customer payment made through a free or trial account, on top of Stripe's own card fees. Business costs $34.99 a month, adds bulk email and text messaging, GPS tracking and automatic invoice reminders, and waives the 1% fee. Enterprise costs $49.99 a month and adds QuickBooks sync, a branded company portal for your customers and no ads. Prices are per company, not per user.
For a business that takes a steady volume of card payments online, the 1% fee can cost more than the Business plan that removes it: at $3,500 a month in online payments, the fee is $35, about the price of Business.
The trade-off: Yardbook publishes little about the company behind it, its only named integrations are Stripe for payments and QuickBooks on the top plan, and we could not find a Yardbook app in Apple's App Store. Test how your crews would use it on their phones before you rely on it in the field.

Key features
Integrations
Pros
- + Free plan to start
Starter costs nothing and covers customers, jobs and scheduling, estimates, invoices, routing, expenses, reports and card payments.
- + Low-cost paid plans
Business is $34.99 a month and Enterprise $49.99 a month, priced per company rather than per user.
- + Paid plans drop the payment fee
Business and Enterprise waive the 1% fee that Yardbook charges on online customer payments made through free and trial accounts.
- + Built for lawn and landscape work
Scheduling, estimates, invoicing and routing are set up for small lawn care and landscaping businesses.
Cons
- − 1% fee on the free plan
Free and trial accounts pay Yardbook 1% of each online customer payment, on top of Stripe's card fees. At higher payment volumes a paid plan costs less.
- − QuickBooks only on Enterprise
QuickBooks sync, the branded customer portal and removing ads all require the $49.99 Enterprise plan.
- − Few integrations
Stripe for payments and QuickBooks on Enterprise are the only integrations Yardbook names.
- − No App Store app found
We could not find a Yardbook app in Apple's App Store, so confirm how crews would use it on a phone before you switch.
Implementation
Start on the free Starter plan, enter your customers and services, and run a few real jobs from estimate to invoice. Connect your Stripe account for card payments and watch the 1% fee on online payments: once it adds up to more than $34.99 a month, Business costs less. Move to Enterprise if you need QuickBooks sync or a branded portal for customers, and check how your crews will use Yardbook on their phones before you depend on it in the field.
