Simpro vs LandscapeBase FAQs
Is LandscapeBase a good Simpro alternative for landscapers?
Yes. LandscapeBase is the all-in-one system built exclusively for landscaping firms — enquiries, quoting, supplier costs, client communication, variations and live margin in one place, shaped around how a garden is sold and delivered. Simpro is broader field-service software, better suited to firms running service, maintenance, assets or several trades.
Is Simpro good for landscaping firms?
Simpro can run landscaping work, but it isn't designed around it — it's field-service software built for short jobs, engineers, stock and maintenance contracts. Landscaping firms that adopt it typically configure it themselves and pay a setup fee that verified reviews report running into the thousands. Firms that mainly build gardens tend to find most of the platform unused.
How much does Simpro cost?
Simpro doesn't publish fixed prices — quotes are tailored to team size and add-ons, plus an initial setup fee covering onboarding, training and data migration. Third-party estimates put it around $70 per user per month, and Simpro's own blog cites ranges from $150-300/month for 1-5 users to $600-1,500+/month for 10-25 users, plus onboarding fees. Verified reviews report setup fees in the thousands.
Does LandscapeBase charge per user like Simpro?
No. Because LandscapeBase is built only for landscaping firms, it prices the way a landscaping firm actually works: one monthly price for the whole business, unlimited users, so office staff, site teams and subcontractors cost nothing to add. Simpro prices by the size of your office and field team plus add-ons, so the bill grows as the firm grows.
How long does implementation take?
LandscapeBase is set up in under three hours — on site or remote, whichever you prefer — configured around your live jobs and terminology, free. Simpro's implementation is chargeable and scoped by complexity; its own pricing page describes a setup fee covering onboarding, training and data migration, and reviewers describe onboarding taking weeks.
Can LandscapeBase migrate data from Simpro?
Yes. During the free onboarding, one of our engineers exports your contacts, suppliers, active jobs, documents and costing history from Simpro and makes it available in LandscapeBase. You don't do the migration yourself — we validate everything against one real garden before your team switches fully.
Is there a contract?
LandscapeBase is monthly rolling with no annual term, and you can export your data at any point, including on the way out. Simpro states that monthly or annual billing is available. Confirm the minimum term directly with them before signing.
What are the best Simpro alternatives for UK landscaping firms?
LandscapeBase for firms that build gardens, Jobber for small crews doing recurring work, Joblogic for UK maintenance and compliance, and Tradify for smaller trade teams wanting simple job admin. The right choice depends on whether your work is long projects or high-volume short jobs.
Who should not choose LandscapeBase?
LandscapeBase is not the right Simpro replacement when reactive field service across several trades is the core business.
