LMN vs FieldPulse: What Landscapers Pay for Scheduling Features

LMN publishes three flat monthly tiers for landscaping crews: $297, $648, or a custom Enterprise quote, each with a fixed seat count built in. FieldPulse does not publish any dollar figure for its scheduling and dispatching packages, it prices every seat through a custom quote. If you want a number you can budget against today, LMN is the only one of the two that gives you one.

LMN’s published pricing

LMN’s pricing page lists three tiers aimed at landscaping and outdoor-services businesses:

Plan	Price	Included seats	Notes
LMN Starter	$297/mo, billed monthly	1 office/crew lead license + 5 crew member licenses (6 total)	For companies with fewer than 10 employees
LMN Professional	$648/mo, billed monthly	3 office/crew lead licenses + 15 crew member licenses (18 total)	Marked “Most Popular” on the pricing page
LMN Enterprise	Contact sales for pricing	Starts at 100 users	Scales beyond Professional; no published rate

All three tiers list “additional licenses are available for a fee,” but LMN does not state what that fee is anywhere on the pricing page pulled for this article. That matters if your crew count sits just above a plan’s included-seat line, because you can’t calculate the marginal cost of the 7th or the 19th seat from what’s published.

LMN also lists a Launch/Onboarding option, described as dedicated new customer training, at $75 one-time fee + $30/mo. It’s shown as “available as add-on” across Starter, Professional, and Enterprise. Separately, the page notes plan prices apply “after a one-time onboarding fee,” which appears to be the same $75 charge rather than a second, undisclosed fee, but the page’s wording doesn’t fully disambiguate the two mentions.

Every feature listed under Starter, Professional, and Enterprise on the scraped page, budgeting and estimating tools, overhead recovery, customizable price lists, material and labor calculators, automated proposals, and automated invoicing, appears without a plan-by-plan breakdown of which tier includes which. LMN’s page groups these under general headings rather than tying each feature to a specific tier, so this article does not claim which features are Starter-only versus Professional-and-up.

FieldPulse’s pricing structure

FieldPulse’s pricing page describes the product as seat-based: “Full access seats and limited field seats, based on what your team needs.” Full-access seats reportedly cover scheduling, dispatching, customer management, invoicing, estimates, pricebook, and reporting. Field-only seats are for team members who work exclusively from the mobile app, viewing assigned jobs, job details and notes, uploading files, and clocking in/out with location tracking.

The page names three packages, Essentials, Professional, and Enterprise, and describes what each adds over the last (Professional includes everything in Essentials plus more advanced features; Enterprise adds multi-location management and Open API access). But every one of the three has a “Request Pricing” button in place of a dollar amount. The FAQ section on the same page confirms the model explicitly: “You purchase a set number of seats upfront for your contract term, and the rate depends on what each seat needs access to. Pricing is customized to your team size and setup.” No per-seat rate, monthly minimum, or example quote is published.

Cost math at 1, 3, 5, and 8 users

Because LMN’s Starter and Professional plans are flat-rate for their included seat range rather than per-user, the monthly cost doesn’t change as you add users within that range. Here’s what a landscaping business would pay at different crew sizes, using only the numbers LMN publishes:

Crew size	LMN Starter ($297/mo, 6 seats included)	LMN Professional ($648/mo, 18 seats included)
1 user	$297/mo (flat, seat unused)	$648/mo (flat, seats unused)
3 users	$297/mo (flat)	$648/mo (flat)
5 users	$297/mo (flat, at capacity)	$648/mo (flat)
8 users	Exceeds Starter’s 6 included seats. Extra licenses cost an unpublished fee	$648/mo (flat, within 18-seat capacity)

Effective cost per included seat gives a rough sense of value: Starter’s $297/mo divided across its 6 included seats works out to $49.50 per seat per month if every seat is used. Professional’s $648/mo divided across its 18 included seats works out to $36 per seat per month if fully used. A 5-person crew on Starter is paying for 1 unused seat; an 8-person crew that needs Professional’s headroom is paying for 10 unused seats at that tier, unless additional users push it closer to full capacity.

Add the Launch/Onboarding line if you take it: $75 one-time plus $30/mo, on top of whichever plan you choose. Over a 12-month contract that’s $75 + ($30 × 12) = $435 in onboarding costs stacked on the base plan fee, regardless of crew size, since onboarding is priced as a flat add-on rather than per seat.

FieldPulse cannot be put in this table with real numbers. Its FAQ states the rate “depends on what each seat needs access to,” which implies full-access and field-only seats are priced differently, but no dollar figure for either seat type appears on the page. Any per-user math for FieldPulse would be invented, so this article doesn’t attempt it.

What could not be verified

• FieldPulse per-seat pricing. No monthly or annual rate for full-access seats, field-only seats, or any of the three named packages (Essentials, Professional, Enterprise) is published on FieldPulse’s pricing page. The page instead routes every price request through a quote form.
• LMN’s additional-license fee. All three LMN tiers state extra licenses are “available for a fee,” but the amount of that fee is not listed anywhere on the scraped page.
• LMN’s feature-to-tier mapping. Budgeting, estimating, invoicing, and payment features are listed on the page without a clear indication of which are exclusive to Professional or Enterprise versus included in Starter.
• FieldPulse’s per-seat scheduling and dispatching features by tier. The Professional package is described as including “everything in the Essentials Package plus many advanced features,” but the specific advanced features are not itemized on the page.

Neither vendor’s page states a free trial length, a contract minimum term, or a cancellation policy in the text scraped for this article.

What to check before buying

Before signing with either vendor, get these in writing:

1. LMN’s additional-license rate. Ask what it costs to add a 7th seat to Starter or a 19th seat to Professional, since the published page doesn’t say.
2. FieldPulse’s actual seat quote for your crew size. Request pricing for both full-access and field-only seat counts separately, since the two are priced differently according to FieldPulse’s own FAQ.
3. Contract length and cancellation terms, neither of which appears on either public pricing page.
4. Whether LMN’s Launch/Onboarding add-on is mandatory or optional for your plan, since the page both lists it as an add-on and separately notes prices apply “after a one-time onboarding fee.”
5. Which specific scheduling and dispatching features are included at your tier, in writing, from a sales rep, for both vendors, since the public pages group features by category rather than by plan.
