A software-fit picker for your trade, crew size, and must-haves. Official prices, with a date on every figure.
Software picker · coming laterCount the whole visit.
Not just the time on site.
Most jobs go wrong in the same few places: unpaid drive time, payroll burden left out, overhead spread over too many imaginary billable hours, and mixing up margin with markup.
The calculator walks through one visit:
- Labor: crew size, on-site time, drive time, wage, and payroll burden.
- Vehicle cost, using the IRS 2026 business mileage rates as an editable default: 72.5 cents a mile for Jan. 1–June 30; 76 cents for July 1–Dec. 31.
- Materials, equipment time, and a share of monthly overhead.
- A recommended price from your target margin, never below your minimum charge.
Wage defaults are U.S. BLS May 2025 OEWS national medians for the closest official occupation — for example, $18.82 an hour for landscaping and groundskeeping workers (SOC 37-3011). That figure is a starting point, labeled with its source, and you should overwrite it with what you actually pay.
Start with the what-to-charge calculator, read our methodology, or follow the future guides to margin vs. markup and charging for drive time (later runs).
A price is only useful
when you know what it includes.
Software is priced per user, per route, or per technician; some vendors publish no price. A later picker will match trade, crew size, and must-haves — routing, recurring billing, online booking, chemical logs, QuickBooks sync, and photo quotes — using official pages dated Nov. 12, 2026, and will show unpublished figures as not published.
Starting figures from official pages checked Nov. 12, 2026:
- Jobber Core: 1 user, $29 a month billed annually.
- Housecall Pro Basic: $59 a month billed annually.
- GorillaDesk Basic: $49 a month for the first route, unlimited users.
- Yardbook: Starter free, Business $34.99 a month.
- ServiceTitan: quote-based, no public plan prices.
Confirm each figure on the official page before buying. The software pricing table comes in a later run. Read our disclosure.
Made for the crew you run.
CrewPricer is for owner-operators and small crews — lawn care, landscaping, cleaning, pressure washing, window and gutter work, pest control, pool service, and related home-service trades. The flagship tool is the what-to-charge calculator. A software-fit picker comes in a later run.
Later trade pages will open the calculator with the right wage default, not a made-up average:
