Bottom line: Neither platform publishes a comparable all-in total — we do not treat software-only or quote-only figures as cheapest. Aspire skews commercial; LMN skews mixed. Card fees use a documented mix (55% in-person, 30% online, 15% Amex/keyed) on $42,000 card volume — adjust in the calculator for your shop.

Aspire vs LMN: how to choose

Aspire and LMN are the two landscaping-native platforms, aimed at different pricing models. Aspire is quote-only with unlimited users on a single license and lists job costing, crew production, and contract billing — built for multi-crew grounds contractors, not a one-truck lawn shop. LMN (Landscape Management Network) lists budgeting, estimating, scheduling, crew time, and invoicing, with published per-company plans and included office/crew licenses. If you need unlimited-user production billing, Aspire is quote-only for that model; if you want landscaping estimating on a published software price, LMN publishes that. LMN does not publish card rates, so it is never treated as cheapest all-in. Aspire's unlimited-user license and LMN's included-license bands behave differently as you add people.
