- For a irrigation company, the features that decide the software are recurring service plans, stops sorted by the drive, seasonal email and text campaigns.
- Koira covers that list on Front Office ($499 flat), with no per-person fee.
- Prices and card rates for Service Fusion, Service Autopilot and Jobber are from each company's own pages.
- Count the people who will use it before you compare prices.
What a irrigation company needs from software
Irrigation is two short seasons of service with installs in between. Spring start-ups and fall blowouts are dozens of quick stops each, and the customers who had one last year will need another this year.
Software that fits an irrigation company books those visits without phone tag, puts them in driving order and brings every customer back on time, while giving installs a clean set of options.
- Recurring service plans. Start-ups and blowouts every year are the base of the business when they renew on their own.
- Stops sorted by the drive. A blowout season is dozens of short stops, and drive order decides how many you finish.
- Seasonal email and text campaigns. Customers forget to book the blowout until the freeze warning.
- Options on one estimate. New zones, drip lines and smart controllers are upgrades best shown side by side.
- Measuring from above. A lawn measured from above gives a first number on a new system.
- Paid on the spot. Service calls are paid best before you leave.

How Koira covers the list
Recurring service plans. On Front Office, plans bill on the card on file and the visits book themselves.
Stops sorted by the drive. Today puts every stop in driving order on every plan.
Seasonal email and text campaigns. On Grow, customers get a text when the season comes round, with one tap to book.
Options on one estimate. Up to three options on one estimate, signed and paid on one page.
Measuring from above. Koira measures lawns from satellite images for a first number priced from your list.
Paid on the spot. The invoice opens as a QR code at the door, paid by card or phone wallet.

Jobber's pricing page blocks a plain fetch and changes its prices with a team size picker, so we read it in a real browser. The $29 a month per added user is in the note behind each plan's user count. A cell names the lowest plan that lists the feature; "Not listed" means we did not see it, so ask. Prices change often, so check the page before you buy.

How to choose
If blowout season is a phone marathon, reminders and plans come first. If installs are the growth, options and follow-ups come first. Koira routes on every plan, reminds on Grow and bills plans on Front Office.
Whichever you try, put one real week of jobs through it before you commit. Koira has a free plan, and the others offer free trials or demos, so ask.
