How Yardbook pricing works
Yardbook's free plan covers invoicing, scheduling, route optimization and customer records for landscaping and lawn care businesses. Yardbook says it is free because it runs on sponsored ads. It also offers optional premium features for larger companies.
Its terms of service name two paid plans, Business and Enterprise, and say premium trials run 30 or 60 days. Prices for those plans were not on the pages we could read.

- Free: $0; $0. Not stated. Invoicing, job scheduling, route optimization, customer records; paid for by sponsored ads.

What a small shop pays

Is Yardbook worth it?
For a new lawn business, free software with a 1% payment fee is a low-risk start. As online payments grow, compare that 1% with the price of a premium plan, or with a tool where the payment share drops as you grow.
