ProBase Logo<\/figcaption><\/figure> 1. ProBase<\/h3>
ProBase is free lawn care software<\/a> built specifically for lawn care providers running one to five crews and handling 50 to 200-plus stops per week. If you’re spending more time on invoicing and chasing late payments than you are on running routes, ProBase was built to fix that.<\/p>
ProBase was created by the same team behind LawnStarter, which means the feature set reflects how lawn care businesses actually work \u2014 not how a generic software developer thinks they do. <\/p>
ProBase is simple to use. Sign up, upload your contacts, schedule jobs on the calendar, generate and send invoices, and get tips and reviews from your customers. And it\u2019s all free. How does ProBase make money? ProBase will offer you lawn care jobs near you, and if you claim the job, ProBase gets a cut of the final price.<\/p>

- “Best decision I made starting out” Andre M. \u2014 solo operator, Orlando, FL “When I was just getting started I had no customers and no software. LawnStarter solved both problems at once.

- “Great for LawnStarter jobs, not much else” Brittany S. \u2014 2 crews, Charlotte, NC “I use LawnStarter for probably 30% of my business and the app handles those jobs well \u2014 easy scheduling, instant payment, no hassle.

6. RazorSync<\/h3>
![\"RazorSync](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-10.png\")
<\/figure> RazorSync is an affordable platform that keeps your team connected in the field. The software covers a wide range of industries. If your lawn care company handles snow removal, hardscaping, or landscape construction, RazorSync can help.<\/p>
RazorSync is one of the more affordable options on this list, but that comes with certain drawbacks. Its customer support network can be less than reliable, so if you\u2019re new to service business software you may want to consider a more user-friendly option.<\/p>

- \u201cIt doesn’t integrate with other marketing software like Hubspot. SA tries to be a marketing company, a printing company, a customer service company, an accounting company, essentially it tries to be too many things.\u201d<\/em><\/li> <\/ul>

![\"Yardbook](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-13-656x200.png\")

- \u201cThe recurring invoice system would be the only thing I could complain about. I would rather they would just send automatically, instead of having to manually click to send\u201d<\/em><\/li>
- \u201cYardbook has been an excellent way for me to keep my customer lists, invoices\/payments, staffing, equipment, and routes organized. And the best part is that it has been free to help me get started.\u201d<\/em><\/li> <\/ul>
