Best CRM for Irrigation Businesses in 2026

Updated October 20, 2026 · By the QuoteIQ Team

Disclosure: QuoteIQ publishes this guide and ranks itself #1. We list QuoteIQ's gaps and source every competitor price from the vendor's own page, checked October 20, 2026. QuoteIQ facts come only from the QuoteIQ Help Center.

For sprinkler and irrigation service companies, we recommend QuoteIQ. Irrigation work runs on two seasonal rushes (spring start-ups and fall winterizations), with repair calls in between that often need a part. QuoteIQ handles that pattern on every plan, starting at $29.99/month. You can price by zone, set a customer's service to repeat every 6 months, check the forecast on the calendar, and list each valve or head on the ticket. Hold a repair in Schedule Later until the part arrives. Custom inspection checklists (Beginner and up) record what you found zone by zone. On Elite, an irrigation instant quote form can sit on your website.

GorillaDesk is a strong route-priced alternative, and LMN and Aspire fit larger landscape and irrigation firms. Jobber is well rated but ranks last because of how its price grows with the team.

Extra users are $25/user/month. There's no contract, and annual billing gives 12 months for the price of 10.

Pros

Cons

GorillaDesk prices per route: Basic $49, Pro $99 and Growth $149 a month, with unlimited office and crew users, month-to-month billing and an account freeze for seasonal work. Its customer list includes irrigation companies. Basic includes routing up to 25 stops, material tracking and automated email and text. Pro adds a customer portal, online booking, subscription billing, e-sign and QuickBooks Online. Texting is $5/month plus credit packs.

Pros: Unlimited users and a seasonal freeze. Cons: Each extra route raises the bill.

LMN starts at $297/month for Starter (1 office or crew lead license plus 5 crew) and $648/month for Professional (3 plus 15), after a one-time onboarding fee. It lists route optimization, a customer portal, an offline crew app and weather notes. Real-time job costing is on Professional.

Pros: Landscape-specific estimating and costing. Cons: A high starting price for an irrigation-only shop.

Aspire doesn't publish prices. It sells one monthly license with unlimited users, includes implementation and training, and prices payments, payroll and GPS separately. Aspire calls itself designed for enterprise-level landscape businesses.

Pros: Deep operations and job costing for large firms. Cons: No public price, and built for much larger companies.

Housecall Pro is $79/month for Basic (1 user; $59 annually), $189 for Essentials (5 users; $149 annually) and $329 for Max (8 users; $299 annually). Recurring service plans and route optimization are on Max.

Pros: Clear prices and a mature app. Cons: Recurring service plans need the $329 plan.

ServiceM8 prices by jobs per month: Free (1 user, 30 jobs), Starter $29 (50), Growing $79 (150), Premium $149 (500) and Premium Plus $349 (1,500+), with unlimited users on paid plans. Asset management, recurring jobs and electronic forms are listed.

Pros: Asset tracking for controllers and backflow devices. Cons: Spring and fall rushes can push you over a job cap.

FieldPulse uses seat-based pricing quoted after a conversation. Engage (phone), Operator AI, Fleet Tracking and Custom Forms are optional premium products.

Pros: Configured to your process. Cons: No public price.

Jobber is well rated: 4.6/5 from 1,487 verified reviews on GetApp (support also 4.6) and 4.8 from about 21,000 ratings on the App Store.

It ranks last on cost. Jobber's pricing page (no-commitment monthly, checked October 20, 2026) puts job costing and two-way SMS on Grow: $199 for 1 user, $299 for up to 5, $399 for up to 10, with extra users at $29.

On Core, Connect and Grow, Receptionist ($29/month), Pipeline ($49/month) and Marketing Suite ($99/month) are paid add-ons; Plus includes them from $499/month. Card payments are 2.9% + 30¢ and ACH is 1%.

GetApp's support summary is mostly positive but notes that "a minority of users report slow response times, difficulty escalating issues, and inconsistent support quality when facing complex problems." That's a minority experience.

To be fair to Jobber: the trial needs no card, Connect ($199 for up to 5 users) includes routing and is cheaper if you skip Grow features, and it syncs with Xero.

QuoteIQ Essentials ($29.99) for zone-based estimates, every-6-months recurring service, Schedule Later repairs and parts on the ticket.

QuoteIQ Pro ($199.99, 4 users) adds On The Way texts, a business texting line with AI auto-reply, job costing, a client portal and QuickBooks Online.

QuoteIQ Elite ($299.99, 10 users) adds the irrigation InstaQuote form, route optimization, inventory by truck and GPS time tracking.

If you don't have a site, Budget Built Sites is a QuoteIQ subsidiary (stated in its Terms of Service) that builds contractor websites with AI and has a 3-day free trial. It doesn't publish a price. QuoteIQ's in-app AI Website Builder is $34.99/month, included on Max.

QuoteIQ is our pick for irrigation service companies (QuoteIQ publishes this guide). From $29.99/month it handles zone-based estimates, every-6-months recurring start-ups and winterizations, Schedule Later for repairs waiting on parts, and parts on every ticket. GorillaDesk and LMN are strong alternatives.

Yes. In QuoteIQ, set the job to recur every 6 months and it repeats on that cycle, with automatic appointment reminders by text or email. Weekly, bi-weekly and monthly are also available; quarterly is not.

On Elite and Max, QuoteIQ's InstaQuote has an Irrigation and Sprinkler Systems template that prices by zone count with timer replacement and backflow test options. You set your own prices.

There's no equipment or asset tracking in QuoteIQ's help center. You can keep zone notes on the job, in custom inspection forms (Beginner and up) and in photos. ServiceM8 lists asset management if you need that.

As of October 20, 2026: QuoteIQ $29.99 to $699.99/month for 1 to 20 users; GorillaDesk from $49 per route; ServiceM8 free to $349; Housecall Pro $79 to $329; LMN from $297 plus onboarding. Jobber Grow is $199/month for one user. Aspire and FieldPulse don't publish prices.

Jobber is well rated (4.6/5 on GetApp), so the reason is price. Job costing and two-way SMS start on Grow, which is at least $286/month for 4 users and $399 for 10, and Receptionist, Pipeline and Marketing Suite are paid add-ons below Plus.
