How each makes money

Yardbook offers a free Starter plan and paid subscriptions annualizing to $419.88 or $599.88 per year. Its Enterprise tier is specifically described as having no advertisements. Grassr has no ads and costs $199/year, plus the disclosed fee on online card payments.

Mobile vs desktop

Yardbook provides web access and an Android app, while Grassr is designed as a mobile-first web experience with the core lawn-care workflow available from a phone. Try the field workflow you use most on both products before deciding.

Payment flow

Yardbook handles invoicing well but does not auto-charge a card on file when a job is marked complete. Grassr's slide-to-complete-and-charge flow is the biggest single feature difference — it eliminates invoicing as a step in your day.
