Jobber is a solid general-purpose field service tool. But "general purpose" means it wasn't designed around square footage job boards, service compliance logs, the lasso route selector, or the way lawn care and lawn care businesses actually schedule recurring mowing routes. MowBossPro was.
The features that matter most for lawn care and lawn care — not general field service.

The moment you add your 6th employee on Jobber, you're bumped to a higher tier. Add more features, pay more. Add more users, pay more. MowBossPro has one price — $79/month — that covers your entire team, every feature, forever. No tiers. No per-seat math. No surprises on your invoice.
Before you schedule a single stop, MowBossPro shows you the total square footage waiting per service type. Know exactly how much Lawn Care 4, Mowing, or Insect Control you can fit before you call anyone. Jobber has no concept of this.
Every application logged automatically with product, mix rate, gallons, area, weather, and tech license. Pull a print-ready compliance report in 30 seconds. Jobber has job notes. That's not the same thing as a pesticide compliance log.
Draw a circle on the map, instantly see every property inside with a service due. Stops, service types, sq ft — all calculated before you schedule anything. Jobber has basic route optimization. Not the same as Lasso.
Send and receive text messages inside MowBossPro with full conversation history per contact. Jobber has limited client messaging — not a full SMS inbox with inbound/outbound history organized by customer.
Set recurring schedules per property, track what's due, and build job boards by service type. Jobber handles recurring jobs, but not the lawn care job board model that shows you all your due work before you build a route.
Every employee — crews, office staff, managers — included at $79/month. Jobber charges per tier based on user count. Add your 6th employee and your bill goes up. Ours doesn't.
Jobber does a lot of things well. But it was designed to work for cleaning companies, landscapers, HVAC crews, plumbers, and dozens of other trades. When you build software for everyone, you can't build the deep features that mowing businesses actually need. MowBossPro was built by people who ran mowing routes — and it shows.
Draw a circle on your service area map and MowBossPro instantly shows every property inside that radius with a service due — total stops, service types, sq ft, all calculated before you schedule a single stop. Jobber has route optimization. That's completely different from Lasso. No competitor has built anything like this.
Jobber has been around for years and has a solid UI. But MowBossPro was designed specifically for the way mowing businesses work — which means less configuration, less hunting through menus, and a dispatch board that actually makes sense for recurring service routes.
Add your services, import clients and properties, connect payments, set up your SMS alerts — most owners are fully operational the same day. No onboarding call, no implementation consultant, no 90-day timeline to get started.
Everything flows through the dispatch board — job board, scheduling, map, dispatch, service log. It's designed the way a mowing business thinks about its day. Not the way a plumber or cleaning company would.
The mobile app shows your crews exactly what they need — today's stops, the property notes, the complete button. No training videos, no IT ticket, no confused crew. They're using it on day one.
SMS alerts, estimate follow-ups, payment reminders, review requests — set them up once and MowBossPro runs them every time, automatically. You're not babysitting automations or configuring Zapier workflows.
No tiers. No per-seat fees. No upgrade prompts. Just $79/month for your entire operation.
No contracts. Cancel anytime. No hidden fees — ever.
