Every other platform in this category puts a number on a page. Jobber does. Housecall Pro does. LMN does. Aspire does not, and it never has. Its plans page answers the question with a sentence instead of a figure: "Pricing varies based on company size, complexity, and what solution best fits your business."
So this article does the only honest thing available. It lays out every public number about Aspire's price, says who published each one, and then does the arithmetic those sources never do. All source pages were read on 2026-08-10.
The short answer
Aspire publishes no price. The two sources that carry real figures are both published by Aspire's direct competitors. From those figures, Aspire's license appears to run roughly 0.5% to 1.0% of annual revenue, and its entry tier starts at $1 million in revenue. On that rate:
| Your annual revenue | Implied Aspire license | Tier (per Jobber's published bands) |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000,000 | $5,000 - $10,000 | Growth (floor) |
| $3,000,000 | $15,000 - $30,000 | Growth |
| $5,000,000 | $25,000 - $50,000 | Growth ceiling / Corporate floor |
| $13,000,000 | $65,000 - $130,000 | Enterprise (floor) |
Read the limits before you use that table. The 0.5%-1.0% rate is my division, derived from a single figure published by LMN about a company Aspire has not confirmed. The revenue bands come from a page published by Jobber. Aspire has confirmed neither. Treat the table as the shape of the answer, not the answer.
What Aspire's own page actually says
Read first-party today, youraspire.com/aspire-plans contains no dollar amount anywhere. What it does contain is unusually specific about structure, and some of it is genuinely good:
- "A single license fee is billed monthly and gives access to all contracted functionality. There is no limit to the number of users."
- "Every Aspire client receives unlimited user licenses, complete implementation and training program, post-implementation support, and problem-solving services as well as delivery of all future enhancements, upgrades, and new versions."
- "Your price is protected through the term of the contract."
- Priced separately from the contract: electronic payment services, payroll services, GPS fleet management.
That is a better disclosure of what is included than most of this category manages. Service Autopilot and LMN both put a mandatory setup cost behind a sales call; Aspire says implementation and training are inside the license fee, and that upgrades never trigger a new invoice. The catch is obvious and worth stating plainly: Aspire is the most transparent vendor in the category about what you get and the least transparent about what you pay. "Implementation included" is unpriceable when the license is unpriced.
The unlimited-user line deserves credit rather than a shrug. Per-seat pricing is how most of this category makes its money as you grow, and Aspire has opted out of it entirely.
The finding that changes how you read the search results
Search aspire software pricing or aspire software cost and count how many of the results are about this product. I did, on both queries, on 2026-08-10.
| Result | What it prices | Is it this Aspire? |
|---|---|---|
| youraspire.com/aspire-plans | Nothing - no figure on the page | Yes |
| Vectric Aspire | $1,995 perpetual | No - CNC and woodworking CAD software |
| Vendr marketplace | $15,588 median, $11,139-$36,599 | No - Aspire.io, an influencer-marketing platform |
| UK G-Cloud pricing PDF | GBP 445 perpetual license | No - Aspire Software Systems Ltd, a UK supplier |
| Reddit r/influencermarketing | Discussion of Aspire.io's plans | No |
| A Facebook answers page | Conflates it with the Acer Aspire laptop | No |
| Capterra / Software Advice | "Pricing available upon request" | Yes |
| granum.com (LMN) | $15,000-$30,000/yr on $3M | Yes - published by a competitor |
| getjobber.com | Tier revenue bands, no dollar figure | Yes - published by a competitor |
Four of the results carry a hard, confident dollar figure, and every one of those four is a different company. The most authoritative-looking number on the page - Vendr's "median buyer pays $15,588 per year," presented as procurement data with a low-high range - is for an influencer-marketing tool. An operator who quotes that figure in a budget meeting is quoting the wrong software.
This is not the usual aggregator problem, where sources publish different prices for the same product. It is worse and simpler: the query is name-collided, and the entries that look most like an answer are the ones that are not about landscaping at all.
Every real number is published by a competitor
Strip out the wrong companies and the "upon request" placeholders, and exactly two pages remain with substantive information. Both are published by companies that sell against Aspire.
granum.com - Granum makes LMN. Its comparison page states: "Aspire charges a percentage of revenue, which means a $5M landscape company pays significantly more than a $1M company," that the structure is "designed to charge you more as your business grows," and that "for a landscape company doing $3M per year, that's $15,000-$30,000 per year in software costs." It also claims Aspire "often requires months of setup" with "some report 1-2 years" to value. The page does not disclose that it is published by a direct competitor. That does not make the numbers wrong. It does mean they arrived through an interested party, and you should read them that way - the same caution this site applied to an insurance comparison published by one of the carriers it compared.
getjobber.com - Jobber, also a competitor, publishes what Aspire's tiers are scoped to on a page last updated 2026-02-27: "Aspire doesn't share software prices on its website. You'll need to book a demo to receive a quote." Then: "Aspire Growth: $1 million to $5 million revenue stream," "Corporate: $5 million to $13 million revenue stream," "Enterprise: Over $13 million revenue stream." Those tier names match the three plans Software Advice lists on its own Aspire profile, which is weak independent corroboration of the names - not of the bands.
So the state of public knowledge is this: the only people telling you what Aspire costs are the two companies trying to sell you something else. That is worth knowing before you weigh either figure, and it is the single most useful thing on this page.
What a percentage of revenue actually does to your books
Take LMN's figure at face value for a moment. $15,000-$30,000 on $3,000,000 is 0.5% to 1.0% of revenue. Nobody on that search results page performs this division, and it is where the interesting part starts, because a percentage is not a price - it is a rate, and rates compound.
Stated as a marginal cost: every additional $100,000 of revenue costs you $500 to $1,000 in software, before you have paid a single crew hour against it. Win a $250,000 municipal contract and the software line goes up $1,250-$2,500 whether or not you open a new screen.
The inversion that decides whether that is expensive
Here is the honest comparison, and it does not go the way "enterprise pricing" makes you assume. Take the $3M, 50-employee shop from the forum thread that ranks on this very query, and price it three ways using each vendor's own published numbers, read first-party:
| Option | Structure | Annual cost at 50 users |
|---|---|---|
| Jobber Plus (annual prepaid) | $529/mo, 15 users included, +$29/user/mo | $18,528 |
| Jobber Plus (month-to-month) | $699/mo, 15 users, +$29/user/mo | $20,568 |
| Housecall Pro MAX (low seat variant) | $299/mo, 8 users, +$35/user/mo | $21,228 |
| Housecall Pro MAX (high seat variant) | $299/mo, 8 users, +$75/user/mo | $41,388 |
| Aspire (implied) | 0.5%-1.0% of $3M revenue | $15,000 - $30,000 |
Aspire's midpoint of $22,500 sits inside the per-seat range, not above it. At fifty employees, the percentage model is not the expensive option - it is the middle option, and it comes with implementation, training, support and every future upgrade bundled. Anyone telling you Aspire is simply "the expensive one" has not run the seat math on the alternatives.
The two Housecall Pro rows are not a typo, incidentally. That page was serving three different additional-user prices at once when it was read on 2026-08-07 - a live pricing experiment - which is its own reason to screenshot whatever you are quoted.
The real problem with a percentage, and it is not the size of it
Per-seat pricing is indexed to headcount. Percentage pricing is indexed to revenue. Those two things move very differently in a landscaping business, and the difference is the whole argument.
Suppose the $3M shop does what this site has argued it should do and raises prices about 5% a year, without adding a single employee. Same crew, same trucks, same software, better rates. At the 0.75% midpoint:
| Year | Revenue | Aspire at 0.75% | A per-seat plan (headcount flat) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $3,000,000 | $22,500 | $22,500 |
| 2 | $3,150,000 | $23,625 | $22,500 |
| 3 | $3,307,500 | $24,806 | $22,500 |
| 4 | $3,472,875 | $26,047 | $22,500 |
| 5 | $3,646,519 | $27,349 | $22,500 |
| 5-year total | $16,576,894 | $124,327 | $112,500 |
$11,827 more over five years, and a year-5 run rate 21.6% higher, for exactly the same software used by exactly the same people. Nothing about the product changed. You raised your prices, and a share of the increase went to your vendor. That is the cost nobody on this search results page mentions, and it is the one that compounds.
It also means the two levers this trade talks about most - raising prices and protecting margin - are partially taxed under this model in a way they are not under a flat plan.
And the inversion that keeps it fair
The same mechanism runs backwards, and that is a genuine advantage nobody credits. Lose a $400,000 commercial contract in a bad year and the Aspire line falls $2,000-$4,000 automatically, in the year you need it to. A per-seat plan does not do that. You are stuck with the seats until you lay people off, and the software bill is the last thing you think about while you are doing it.
So the honest summary of the model: a percentage of revenue is a vendor sharing your downside as well as your upside. Whether that trade is good depends entirely on which direction you expect to move, which is a question about your business, not about Aspire.
One more thing worth naming: this makes Aspire the second cost line in a landscaping business that scales with revenue rather than with units. Insurance is the other one - it ran about 5.6% of season revenue on a 60-client book. Most operators budget both as if they were fixed. Neither is.
The eligibility problem, and the number that made me check twice
Run the rate down instead of up. A 60-client residential book at $52 a visit over a 32-week season is $99,840. At 0.5%-1.0%, an Aspire license on that book would be $499 to $998 a year - cheaper than Jobber Connect, cheaper than Housecall Pro Essentials, cheaper than LMN Starter by a factor of six.
And you cannot buy it. Aspire's entry tier, per Jobber's published bands, starts at $1 million in revenue. The percentage model is at its most attractive precisely in the range where the vendor does not sell. That is not a criticism - every vendor picks a segment - but it does mean the "is Aspire expensive?" question is unanswerable for most people asking it. If you are under $1M, the answer is not a number. It is that you are not the customer.
Which reframes the search entirely. Below $1M in revenue you are choosing among Jobber, Housecall Pro, Yardbook, Service Autopilot and the rest, and the honest roundup of that set is a more useful place to spend an afternoon than a demo call you are not eligible for.
Aspire's own numbers are worth reading, even though its price is not published
There is a small irony here that is not a criticism, just an observation. Aspire publishes a 2026 Commercial Landscape Industry Report and cites it freely on its own blog: 70% of contractors plan to raise wages in 2026, 44% of them by 4% or more; 54% name recruiting and retaining staff as a top business risk; 48% cite material costs; 37% expect equipment and material costs to rise 10% or more; 28% of maintenance crews earn $21-$25 an hour.
That is genuinely useful benchmarking data, published for free, about every cost in your business except one. Aspire's own sample size and survey dates are not stated in the blog post that cites it, so treat those figures as directional - but they are still more disclosure than most vendors offer about anything.
What to ask on the demo call
Since the price arrives through a salesperson, the quality of your questions determines the quality of your number. These are the ones the public record cannot answer for you:
- "Is the license a percentage of revenue, and what percentage?" Ask it in those words. If the answer is a flat monthly figure instead, get the flat figure and ask what triggers a change to it.
- "What revenue figure is it calculated on, and when is it re-measured?" Trailing twelve months? Prior fiscal year? Projected? A mid-year re-measure on a growing book is a very different contract from an annual one.
- "What happens at renewal if my revenue grew 30%?" The plans page says price is protected "through the term of the contract." Find out what the term is and what happens at the end of it.
- "Is there a floor?" A percentage with a minimum is a flat fee wearing a percentage's clothes at the bottom of the range.
- "What does implementation involve in weeks, and what is my team's time commitment?" LMN's page claims months, and 1-2 years in some cases. That is a competitor's characterization, so ask Aspire directly - and ask for two reference customers of your size who went live in the last year.
- "Which of payments, payroll and GPS fleet are quoted separately, and what do they cost?" Aspire's own page says all three sit outside the contract.
- Get the quote in writing, with the calculation shown. A percentage you cannot reproduce on a napkin is a number you cannot budget.
Where Landscapey fits, stated bluntly
Landscapey is not an Aspire competitor and pretending otherwise would be the kind of claim this article exists to correct. Aspire sells to $1M+ commercial contractors. Landscapey is a single-operator CRM for the shop below that line.
| Capability | Aspire | Landscapey |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-user crew accounts | Unlimited users, included | No - single-operator login |
| Crew mobile time tracking | Yes | No |
| Job costing against budget | Yes, real-time, the product's core | No |
| Purchasing and procurement | Yes | No |
| Equipment and fleet costing | Yes (GPS priced separately) | No |
| Payroll | Available, priced separately | No |
| Branch and division reporting | Yes | No |
| Implementation and training | Included in the license | Not applicable - you set it up yourself |
| Published price | No | $19.99/mo or $199.99/yr, on the page |
| Payment processing | Priced separately | Stripe Connect direct, no platform fee |
If you are a $3M commercial maintenance or design-build contractor with crews to cost and divisions to report on, Aspire is a serious product and the seat math above says its price is not the reason to rule it out. If you are running 40-120 residential accounts by yourself and want scheduling, routing, invoicing and a public profile that generates leads, you want the cheap end of this market, and you can see our number without booking anything: $19.99 a month, or start free.
Limits of everything above
- The 0.5%-1.0% rate is derived, not disclosed. It comes from dividing one competitor-published figure by one revenue example. If Aspire's model has a floor, a ceiling, or module-based components, the rate is not constant and my table is wrong at the edges.
- The tier revenue bands come from Jobber's page, not Aspire's. They are dated 2026-02-27 and may have moved.
- Capterra's listing was not fetched and is therefore excluded rather than characterized from a search snippet.
- The Jobber, Housecall Pro and LMN figures were read first-party from the vendors' own pricing pages (Jobber on 2026-08-10; Housecall Pro 2026-08-07; LMN 2026-08-05) and vendors change prices without notice.
- The 50-user comparison assumes every employee needs a login. Many shops run fewer seats than employees, which moves the per-seat columns down and does nothing to the Aspire row - a real point in the percentage model's favor.
- Re-read the sources before you sign anything, including this one.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Aspire software cost?
Aspire does not publish a price. The only substantive public figure comes from LMN's comparison page, which puts a $3M landscape company at $15,000-$30,000 a year - about 0.5%-1.0% of revenue. Aspire has not confirmed that figure, and LMN is a direct competitor.
Why doesn't Aspire publish pricing?
Its plans page says pricing "varies based on company size, complexity, and what solution best fits your business," and that a single monthly license fee covers all contracted functionality with no user limit. In practice that means the number arrives from a salesperson after a demo.
Is Aspire priced per user?
No, and this is the clearest thing on its plans page: "There is no limit to the number of users," with unlimited user licenses, implementation, training, support and future upgrades included in the license fee. That is the opposite of how Jobber and Housecall Pro price, and it is why the seat math matters so much when you compare them.
What size company does Aspire sell to?
Per tier bands published by Jobber, Growth covers $1M-$5M in revenue, Corporate $5M-$13M, and Enterprise above $13M. Below roughly $1M in revenue you are outside the product's stated range.
Is Aspire more expensive than Jobber or LMN?
Not automatically. At 50 users on $3M in revenue, Jobber Plus loaded with additional seats runs $18,528-$20,568 a year and Housecall Pro MAX runs $21,228-$41,388, against Aspire's implied $15,000-$30,000. The percentage model is a middle option at that size. It becomes the expensive option when revenue grows faster than headcount.
What should I ask on the Aspire demo call?
Whether the license is a percentage and what percentage; which revenue figure it is calculated on and how often it is re-measured; what happens at renewal after a growth year; whether there is a minimum; how long implementation takes in weeks; and what payments, payroll and GPS fleet cost separately. Get the calculation in writing.
