How much does LMN cost per month for a 5-person landscaping crew?

A 5-person crew usually fits the $297 per month plan if one of the five is the office or crew lead license holder and the other four are crew members. That plan includes 1 office/crew lead license and 5 crew member licenses, so 5 people use 5 of 6 licenses. That works out to $59.40 per person per month if all five are on the account, or $3,564 per year before the one-time onboarding fee, whose amount LMN does not publish on the page.

How many users does LMN Professional include?

LMN's pricing page lists 3 office/crew lead licenses and 15 crew member licenses with the $648 per month plan, which is 18 licenses in total. Divided out, that is $36.00 per license per month, against $49.50 on the $297 plan, which covers 6. Licenses beyond those counts are described as available for a fee, and the page does not state that fee.

What happens if I have more than 6 people on LMN's $297 plan?

The page says additional licenses are available for a fee, but it does not print the fee. So the seventh person's cost cannot be calculated from LMN's published numbers. You can still decide: moving to the $648 plan adds $351 per month and 12 licenses, so extra licenses on the cheaper plan only win if each costs under $29.25 when you need all 12.

Is LMN's pricing billed monthly or yearly?

The pricing page shows both listed prices as USD, billed monthly: $297 and $648. An asterisk after each price refers to a one-time onboarding fee, the amount of which is not shown. Over 12 months the base charges add up to $3,564 and $7,776. The page does not publish a yearly-billing discount, so none is assumed here.

How much does LMN Enterprise cost?

LMN does not publish an Enterprise price. The page says to contact sales, and describes the tier as starting at 100 users with additional licenses available for a fee. With no price, no per-user figure can be calculated, so Enterprise is left out of the tables below. Spread over 100 users, even the $648 plan's rate would be a poor guide, because the tiers are priced separately.

LMN Crew Management Costs by Plan

LMN lists two priced plans on its pricing page: $297 per month with 6 licenses (1 office/crew lead and 5 crew members), and $648 per month with 18 licenses (3 office/crew lead and 15 crew members). Enterprise starts at 100 users and has no published price. Your crew cost is set by headcount against those license counts.

Key points

The $297 per month plan includes 6 licenses, which is $49.50 per license per month when all six are in use.
The $648 per month plan includes 18 licenses, which is $36.00 per license, 27.3% lower than the cheaper plan’s rate.
Moving from $297 to $648 adds $351 per month ($4,212 per year) and 12 licenses, or $29.25 per added license.
Any license beyond the included counts costs an unpublished fee, so the seventh person on the smaller plan cannot be priced from LMN’s page.
Both prices carry an asterisk for a one-time onboarding fee whose amount the page does not state.

What does this article assume?

This article uses only the text scraped from LMN’s pricing page on 2026-09-30. The rest of this section lists what that text says and where it is unclear.

The scraped text shows three tiers in one sequence: “LMN Starter $297/mo USD, billed monthly”, “MOST POPULAR LMN Professional $648/mo USD, billed monthly”, and “LMN Enterprise Contact sales for pricing”. The license text reads “Starting at $297 /mo* Includes 1 office/crew lead license & 5 crew member licenses” and “Starting at $648 /mo* Includes 3 office/crew lead license & 15 crew member licenses”. The enterprise text reads “Starts at 100 users”.

Assumptions used in every calculation:

Plan names map in page order: Starter is $297, Professional is $648, Enterprise is contact sales.
One person needs one license. A person is either an office/crew lead or a crew member, and the two pools are counted separately.
The “Starting at” wording means the base price. Nothing else is added except the one-time onboarding fee and any extra-license fee.
Extra licenses cost the same fee for both roles. LMN does not state this, so where it matters the tables use a fee variable, not a number.
Prices are USD, billed monthly, before any sales tax.

A caution on features: the page lists estimating, overhead recovery with “1 active budget”, price lists, calculators, automated proposals and job plans, and automated invoicing. It does not show which plan column each belongs to in the scraped text, so no feature comparison between the two paid tiers is made here.

How much does each LMN plan cost per month and per year?

The base charge is $297 per month on Starter and $648 per month on Professional. Multiplying by 12 gives the yearly figures, and dividing by the included licenses gives the rate per license.

Item	Starter	Professional
Monthly price	$297	$648
Office/crew lead licenses included	1	3
Crew member licenses included	5	15
Total licenses included	6	18
Price per included license per month	$49.50	$36.00
12-month base cost	$3,564	$7,776
Cost per license per year	$594	$432

Working:

Starter: $297 ÷ 6 = $49.50. $297 × 12 = $3,564. $3,564 ÷ 6 = $594.
Professional: $648 ÷ 18 = $36.00. $648 × 12 = $7,776. $7,776 ÷ 18 = $432.
Gap: $648 − $297 = $351 per month. $351 × 12 = $4,212 per year.
Licenses added by the upgrade: 18 − 6 = 12. Cost of each: $351 ÷ 12 = $29.25.

Both prices are also subject to “a one-time onboarding fee” per the page’s asterisk. The amount is not published, so it is not in any figure here.

What will my crew cost at 1, 3, 5, 8 or 15 crew members?

The answer depends on which plan covers your headcount and how full it is. The table below assumes one office/crew lead and sweeps the number of crew members from 1 to 20. Look for your own crew size in the first column.

Crew members (plus 1 lead)	People on the account	Plan that covers them	Base cost per month	Base cost per person per month	Extra licenses needed
1	2	Starter	$297	$148.50	0
2	3	Starter	$297	$99.00	0
3	4	Starter	$297	$74.25	0
4	5	Starter	$297	$59.40	0
5	6	Starter	$297	$49.50	0
6	7	Professional	$648	$92.57	0
8	9	Professional	$648	$72.00	0
10	11	Professional	$648	$58.91	0
12	13	Professional	$648	$49.85	0
15	16	Professional	$648	$40.50	0
16	17	Professional plus extras	$648 + fee	not computable	1 crew
18	19	Professional plus extras	$648 + 3 × fee	not computable	3 crew
20	21	Professional plus extras	$648 + 5 × fee	not computable	5 crew

Working for the middle rows:

8 crew members + 1 lead = 9 people. Starter holds 5 crew members, so it is out. Professional holds 15. $648 ÷ 9 = $72.00.
12 crew members + 1 lead = 13 people. $648 ÷ 13 = $49.846, shown as $49.85.
15 crew members + 1 lead = 16 people. $648 ÷ 16 = $40.50.
20 crew members exceed Professional’s 15 by 5, so 5 extra crew licenses are needed at the unpublished fee.

Two readings of the table matter. First, a 6th crew member moves the base bill from $297 to $648, a jump of $351 per month for one more person. Second, the cost per person is lowest when a plan is full: $49.50 at 5 crew members on Starter, and $40.50 at 15 on Professional (or $36.00 if all 3 lead licenses are also used).

Is a bigger plan cheaper than paying for extra licenses?

It depends on the extra-license fee, which LMN does not publish. The reverse calculation gives a fee ceiling: extra licenses on the smaller plan win only while each costs less than the figure in the table.

Rule: Starter with n extra licenses costs $297 + n × fee. Professional costs $648. Starter is cheaper when n × fee < $351, so fee < $351 ÷ n.

Extra licenses you would add to Starter (n)	Starter is cheaper only if the fee is below	Starter total at that fee
1	$351.00	$648
2	$175.50	$648
3	$117.00	$648
4	$87.75	$648
5	$70.20	$648
6	$58.50	$648
8	$43.88	$648
10	$35.10	$648
12	$29.25	$648

Working for n = 8: $351 ÷ 8 = $43.875, rounded to $43.88. Beyond 12 extra licenses, Professional also includes those 12 licenses, so the comparison changes: at n above 12, the cheaper plan is no longer a fair like-for-like.

How to use it: ask LMN sales for the extra-license fee in writing. If it is above the ceiling for your n, buy Professional. If it is below, staying on Starter with extras is cheaper on base cost alone. This ignores any feature differences between the plans that the scraped page does not attribute.

How do office leads and crew members change the answer together?

Both counts matter, because each pool is capped separately. The table crosses office/crew leads (1 to 4) with crew members (5, 10, 15, 16). Each cell gives the fee ceiling from the previous section, computed as $351 ÷ (extras on Starter − extras on Professional). Where Professional needs no more extras than Starter, the cell reads “Starter fits”.

Extras on Starter = max(0, leads − 1) + max(0, crew − 5). Extras on Professional = max(0, leads − 3) + max(0, crew − 15).

Leads ↓ / Crew members →	5	10	15	16
1	Starter fits	$70.20	$35.10	$35.10
2	$351.00	$58.50	$31.91	$31.91
3	$175.50	$50.14	$29.25	$29.25
4	$175.50	$50.14	$29.25	$29.25

Read a cell as: “Starter with extras beats Professional with extras only if the extra-license fee is below this number.”

Working for three cells:

2 leads, 5 crew: Starter needs 1 extra lead; Professional needs 0. Difference 1. $351 ÷ 1 = $351.00.
3 leads, 15 crew: Starter needs 2 + 10 = 12; Professional needs 0. $351 ÷ 12 = $29.25.
4 leads, 16 crew: Starter needs 3 + 11 = 14; Professional needs 1 + 1 = 2. Difference 12. $351 ÷ 12 = $29.25.

The pattern: a second lead on a 5-person crew is the only case with a wide margin. Beyond about 10 crew members, the fee ceiling drops toward $30, and almost any fee above that makes Professional the cheaper route.

What budget per person does each plan reach?

Some contractors start from a target cost per person. The reverse table shows how many people you need on the account to reach a target, using base prices only.

Rule: people needed = base price ÷ target, rounded up.

Target cost per person per month	Minimum people on Starter ($297)	Minimum people on Professional ($648)
$100	3	7
$75	4	9
$60	5	11
$50	6	13
$40	not reachable (max 6, gives $49.50)	17

Working: $297 ÷ $100 = 2.97, so 3. $648 ÷ $75 = 8.64, so 9. $648 ÷ $60 = 10.8, so 11. $648 ÷ $50 = 12.96, so 13. $648 ÷ $40 = 16.2, so 17.

To get under $40 per person you need Professional and at least 17 people on it. Note that 17 is within Professional’s 18 licenses only if the mix is at most 3 leads and 15 crew members.

Which common assumptions about LMN pricing are wrong?

“$297 covers my whole crew.” It covers 6 licenses: 1 office/crew lead and 5 crew members. A crew of 8 plus one lead is 9 people, 3 above the crew member cap plus any additional lead. The extra-license fee applies, and it is not published.

“The $648 plan costs twice as much for twice the value.” It costs 2.18 times as much ($648 ÷ $297 = 2.182) for 3 times the licenses (18 ÷ 6). Per license the rate falls from $49.50 to $36.00, a drop of 27.3%. That only helps if you fill the licenses. At 7 people, Professional is $92.57 each, 87% above the $49.50 that Starter charges at capacity.

“The listed price is the whole first-year cost.” Both prices carry a one-time onboarding fee per the asterisk, and the page also lists “LMN Launch / Onboarding” with the phrase “Available as add-on”. The amounts are not printed. Treat $3,564 and $7,776 as floors, not totals.

“Enterprise is just Professional with more seats.” The page prices Enterprise as “Contact sales for pricing” and says it “Starts at 100 users”. A crew of 30 is nowhere near that threshold, so Enterprise is not a step up for small and mid-sized landscaping firms.

When is this estimate wrong?

The estimate breaks in these cases:

The extra-license fee is unknown. Every “plus extras” row above needs a number LMN has not published. Get it before you sign.
Seasonal headcount. A firm running 4 crew members in winter and 14 in summer sits on Starter for one half-year and beyond its 5 crew member limit in the other. The page does not say whether licenses can be added and dropped month to month. If they cannot, budget the peak.
License roles are not interchangeable. The page splits “office/crew lead” from “crew member”. If your foremen need lead licenses, 3 foremen plus 1 office manager is 4 leads, which exceeds Professional’s 3 and adds an extra lead at the unpublished fee.
Onboarding fee. It is one-time and unpublished, so first-year cost is above the 12-month figures. Divide the fee by 12 and add it to the monthly numbers to compare fairly.
Feature differences. The scraped page does not tie individual features to a plan column, so a cheaper plan may lack something you need. The tables compare licenses and price only.
Price changes. Figures are as scraped on 2026-09-30. “Starting at” wording means final quotes can differ.
Tax and other charges. Sales tax and payment processing on invoices, if any, are not in any figure here.

What could not be verified?

The fee for additional licenses, for either role.
The amount of the one-time onboarding fee, and of the “LMN Launch / Onboarding” add-on.
Any price for Enterprise.
Any discount for annual billing.
Which features belong to Starter and which to Professional.
Whether licenses can be added or removed mid-term.

LMN was the only vendor examined, and no other vendor is compared here. The company also lists SingleOps and Greenius pricing pages in its navigation, but the scraped text contains no prices for them, so they are left out of every table.

What should I check before buying?

Count leads and crew members separately, at your peak headcount, and compare to 1/5 (Starter) and 3/15 (Professional).
Ask LMN sales in writing for the extra-license fee for each role, then check it against the ceilings in the break-even table. If your fee is above $29.25 and you need 12 extras, Professional is cheaper.
Ask for the exact onboarding fee and whether it is charged again on a plan change.
Ask whether licenses can be added and removed month to month for seasonal crews.
Ask which features are in each plan and confirm the ones you need.
Re-read the current pricing page on the day you buy. The figures here are dated 2026-09-30.
