Aspire vs LMN: how to choose

Aspire and LMN are the two landscaping-native platforms green-industry operators cross-shop, and they are aimed at different sizes. Aspire is the commercial operating system: job costing, crew production, and contract billing with unlimited users on a single quote-only license — built for multi-crew grounds contractors, not a one-truck lawn shop. LMN (Landscape Management Network) leads with budgeting and estimating, then scheduling, crew time, and invoicing, with published per-company plans and included office/crew licenses. If you need enterprise production control, Aspire is the heavier tool; if you want landscaping-specific estimating and a published price, LMN is the more reachable one. Run the cost table above at your crew count — Aspire's unlimited-user model and LMN's included-license bands behave very differently as you add people.
