Search “irrigation software” and most of what comes back is sprinkler design software — CAD tools for laying out zones and head spacing on a plan. That is a real category, but it is not what an irrigation contractor runs the business on. This guide is about the other thing: irrigation service software that schedules spring start-ups and fall blow-outs across a few hundred accounts, tracks the controller and backflow device at each property, quotes repairs and installs from the truck, and bills a recurring maintenance contract without someone retyping it every season.
The short version
- Irrigation is your whole business (service, repair, install): a general field service platform with an irrigation page. Jobber, Housecall Pro, and Service Fusion all publish one. Jobber and Housecall Pro publish prices; Service Fusion does not.
- Irrigation is a division inside a landscape company: the landscape-industry platforms — Service Autopilot and LMN, neither an affiliate — keep irrigation on the same system as maintenance and installs. Expect $297 a month and up for LMN, or $49 to $499 a month on annual terms for Service Autopilot before its sign-up fee.
- Large multi-truck service operation: ServiceTitan lists an irrigation industry page but publishes no pricing; it is a sales conversation, and it is built for shops far bigger than most irrigation contractors.
What irrigation service software has to handle
Irrigation has a service calendar unlike almost any other trade, and that is where the software either helps or gets in the way.
Two mass-scheduling events a year. Every account gets a spring start-up and, in freeze climates, a fall winterization. That is hundreds of short visits compressed into a few weeks, routed by neighborhood, with the customer needing to know roughly when you are coming. The features that matter are recurring-visit scheduling that can generate a whole season’s stops at once, route optimization, and automated “we’re coming Tuesday” texts. Jobber lists automated client reminders on Connect and above; Service Autopilot puts route optimization on its Pro tier; LMN lists route optimization as part of its Crew app.
Equipment per property. The controller (a Rain Bird ESP series, a Hunter Pro-C, a Rachio, or something older with a hand-written zone chart taped inside the lid), the backflow preventer with its serial number and last test date, the number of zones, the head types. A tech on a repair call needs that before he opens the box. Housecall Pro’s customer equipment tracking (Essentials tier) is the most direct version of this among the general platforms; the others handle it through custom fields and notes.
Backflow testing is regulated. In most jurisdictions the annual test has to be performed by a tester certified through the state or a local water authority, and the results filed with the water purveyor on their form. Your software will not file the form for you, but it needs to store the test result and the certificate number against the property and remind you when the next one is due. Treat “recurring service with an attached document” as a must-have checklist item in any trial.
Repair quotes from the truck. A broken lateral, a stuck valve, a controller swap — the tech diagnoses, quotes, and often fixes it on the same visit. That is a mobile estimate-to-invoice flow with parts line items and a card reader, which every platform on this page offers in some form. The differentiator is whether the tech can pull a price book of your common repairs rather than typing each one.
Install estimating. New-system and renovation bids are the one place the design-software world touches this one: you lay out zones and heads on a plan, then price it. None of the business platforms here draw the plan. Expect to design in a separate tool (or on paper) and bring the material count into the estimate. If you are looking for the design side, that is a different search — our landscaping estimating guide covers the takeoff-and-measurement tools that overlap.
Irrigation contractor software compared
Entry price is the lowest published tier. Watch the billing basis — several vendors show a number that only applies on an annual commitment. Users included are as the vendor states them.
| Tool | Entry price | Billing basis | Users at that price | Irrigation page? | Affiliate? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jobber | $29/mo | Annual (month-to-month is $49/mo) | 1 (“Just me” plan) | Yes | Yes |
| Housecall Pro | $59/mo | Annual (month-to-month is $79/mo; checked October 15, 2026 on the most-trades pricing path) | 1 | Yes | Yes |
| Service Autopilot | $49/mo | Annual subscription rates, plus a sign-up fee the page does not quantify | Not stated for Startup or Pro; Pro Plus lists 5 mobile + 1 business license | No dedicated page — lawn and landscape platform | No |
| LMN by Granum | $297/mo | Monthly, after a one-time onboarding fee (amount not published) | 1 office/crew-lead + 5 crew licenses | No — landscaping platform | No |
| FieldCamp | Not published (quote only) | Monthly or annual, priced per quote | Not published (seats set in the quote; vendor states no per-seat list price) | No | Yes |
| Service Fusion | Quote only | Not published — quoted on a demo (vendor page checked October 15, 2026) | Unlimited | Yes | Yes |
| ServiceTitan | Not published | — | — | Yes | Yes |
All prices USD, read September 6, 2026 on each vendor’s own pricing page (Housecall Pro month-to-month figures read August 23, 2026). Service Fusion publishes no prices (checked October 15, 2026); the September 29 figures were removed. ServiceTitan renders tier names and no dollar amounts.
For irrigation-only companies: Jobber and Housecall Pro
Jobber
Jobber publishes an irrigation service page and prices by team size. Solo: Core $49 a month ($29 annual), Connect $139/$99, Grow $199/$149. Two to five people: Core is not offered; Connect is $199/$149 with five users included, Grow $299/$229, and a Plus tier is $499/$399 by sales contact. For irrigation the plan that matters is Connect — it is where automated client reminders (your start-up-week texts), automatic payment collection, and QuickBooks Online sync begin. Grow adds job costing and two-way SMS. The seasonal mass-scheduling job is handled through recurring jobs; test in the trial that you can generate a season of visits for a hundred accounts without doing it one at a time. Full band-by-band numbers are in our Jobber pricing guide.
Fit: irrigation service and repair companies from solo to a few trucks. Skip it if you also run mowing crews with per-crew labor budgets — that is what LMN and Service Autopilot were built for.
Housecall Pro
Housecall Pro has an irrigation business page and three tiers: Basic $59 a month annual for one user, Essentials $149 annual for up to five users ($189 month-to-month, per the $40 saving the page shows), and MAX $299 annual for eight users. Per-seat pricing for additional users exists but the rate shown differed across our reads — confirm it on the page. The irrigation-relevant piece is Essentials’ customer equipment tracking, which gives you a per-property record for the controller and backflow device, plus the visual price book for repair line items. Fit: the same profile as Jobber; the equipment record tips it for shops with a heavy backflow-testing book. Our Jobber vs Housecall Pro comparison walks the plan differences in more depth.
For irrigation divisions inside a landscape company
Service Autopilot
Service Autopilot (not an affiliate) grew up in lawn care and publishes three prices plus a custom tier: Startup at $49 a month, Pro at $199, and Pro Plus at $499, with Elite by quote. Read the fine print on the page: every tier is “+ sign up fee,” and the page states all pricing is based on annual subscription rates. The fee amount is not on the pricing page, so budget for a demo before you assume the $49. Pro is where route optimization, dispatch calendar, job costing, and asset tracking land; Pro Plus adds the automations marketplace and states five mobile and one business user license. Startup and Pro do not state an included user count on the page. Fit: a landscape company where irrigation is one service line among several and you want one system for all of them.
LMN by Granum
LMN (not an affiliate) is the budgeting-first landscape platform. Starter is $297 a month and includes one office or crew-lead license plus five crew licenses; Professional is $648 a month for three office and fifteen crew licenses and adds real-time job costing, Zapier, and equipment and material costing; Enterprise is quote-only and starts at 100 users. Both published prices are “after a one-time onboarding fee” whose amount is not on the page. LMN’s strength for irrigation is overhead recovery and per-crew budgeting — knowing what a blow-out route actually costs you per stop — rather than irrigation-specific features; it publishes no irrigation page. Fit: ten-plus-employee landscape operations that want irrigation on the same P&L as everything else. Skip it if irrigation is the whole business — you would be paying for budgeting depth built around maintenance crews.
Also on the list
Service Fusion (affiliate) publishes an irrigation business page and, as of October 15, 2026, publishes no prices on its pricing page; Starter, Plus and Pro are quoted on a demo. Ask for a quote and compare it on features, not against the per-seat rows in the table.
ServiceTitan (affiliate) lists irrigation among its 27 industry pages and is quote-only. It is built for large residential-service shops with call-center-style dispatch. An irrigation contractor considering it is usually running a fleet, not a truck or two.
FieldCamp (affiliate) has no irrigation page and publishes no prices as of September 29, 2026: its four tiers (Pro, Growth, Scale, Enterprise) are quoted after a sales call, and the vendor’s own FAQ says it does not charge a per-seat list price. Get the quote and compare the real per-seat month against Jobber’s 2–5 band before trialing.
How to choose
Start with the structural question: is irrigation the company, or a division? Irrigation-only shops should trial Jobber and Housecall Pro side by side and pick on the seasonal-scheduling workflow — set up fifty fake accounts and try to schedule a start-up week. Landscape companies with an irrigation arm should look at Service Autopilot and LMN and decide how much budgeting depth they actually want to pay for.
Then verify three specifics in the trial, not the sales call: (1) recurring visits with an attached document per visit, for backflow certificates; (2) a per-property equipment record your techs can read on a phone; (3) the real monthly cost at your headcount, including seats, sign-up or onboarding fees, and the month-to-month versus annual gap.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between irrigation software and irrigation design software?
Irrigation design software lays out zones, pipe runs, and head spacing on a site plan — it is a drafting tool. Irrigation service or business software runs the company: scheduling, customer records, quoting, invoicing, and recurring maintenance. None of the business platforms in this guide draw plans, and design tools do not schedule or invoice. Most contractors who do installs end up with one of each.
Is irrigation management software the same thing?
Not always. “Irrigation management” often refers to agricultural or municipal water-management systems — controllers and sensors that decide when to water — rather than contractor business software. If you are a contractor, search for irrigation service software or field service software with an irrigation page, which is what this guide compares.
What does irrigation estimating software cost?
Estimating is included in the base tier of every business platform here, from $29 a month (Jobber Core, annual, solo) upward. The cost question is really about what surrounds the estimate: a price book of common repairs, optional line items, and job costing on installs, which on Jobber start at Connect and Grow and on Service Autopilot at Pro.
Which irrigation software handles backflow testing records?
None of the vendors on this page publish a backflow-specific feature. The practical approach is a recurring annual service per property with the certificate attached to the visit and the device serial stored in a custom field or equipment record. Housecall Pro’s customer equipment tracking (Essentials) is the closest built-in fit among the general platforms; confirm the workflow in a trial.
