Aspire vs LMN vs DynaScape: which fits your landscape business? These three get compared constantly, but they're built for different companies solving different problems. Here's the honest breakdown - with verified 2026 pricing - so you don't buy an enterprise platform for a 6-person crew (or a design tool when you need job costing). GreenMargins Team Landscape software research team · Published: July 6, 2026 · Pricing verified July 2026 Quick answer. Aspire is an enterprise operations platform for companies with office staff (typically $1M+ revenue, quote-based pricing). LMN is a budget-first estimating and field management suite for growth-stage companies ($297-$648/month + onboarding fee). DynaScape is design software first - CAD drawings from $119/month - with business management (Manage360) as an add-on. And if the problem you're actually trying to solve is "I don't know if my quotes are profitable" - none of the three is the cheapest fix. That's a job costing problem, solvable at $59/month. The decision guide below sorts it out by company type. At a glance: what each one actually is. Pricing below verified against each vendor's published pricing in July 2026. Quote-based products don't publish prices - budget accordingly. | / | Aspire | LMN | DynaScape | | Core identity | End-to-end operations platform (CRM | estimating | scheduling | purchasing | reporting) | Budget-first estimating + field management (crew app, time tracking, invoicing) | Landscape design/CAD software, with business management as an add-on | | 2026 pricing | Quote-based; annual contract + implementation | Starter $297/mo (1 office + 5 crew licenses) · Professional $648/mo (3 + 15) · one-time onboarding fee · Enterprise custom | Creator $119/mo · Design $158/mo ($1,599/yr) · Color/Sketch3D add-ons $59/mo each · Manage360 quote-based | | Built for | $1M+ companies with dedicated office/admin staff; commercial maintenance especially | Growth-stage full-service companies (roughly 5-50 field staff) | Design-build firms that sell drawings and presentations | | Estimating approach | Production-rate estimating from work tickets and item catalogs | Budget-derived rates: annual overhead budget sets your break-even hourly rates | Takeoff counts from drawings; full pricing needs Manage360 | | Job costing | Deep - per property, per service line, real-time | Real-time, but only on Professional ($648/mo) and up | Via Manage360 only | | Scheduling & crew app | Full scheduling, routing, and mobile crew workflows | LMN Crew app: schedules, punch-ins, GPS verification, route optimization | Not a scheduling product | | Design/CAD | None | None | Best in class - that's the whole point | | Watch out for | Implementation time and cost; overkill below ~$1M revenue | License costs stack as you add users; budgeting methodology has a learning curve; job costing paywalled to Professional | Business layer is secondary; wrong center of gravity if you don't sell designs | Aspire vs LMN: estimating, scheduling, and profitability tracking. This is the comparison most people actually search for, so let's take the three dimensions head-on. Estimating. LMN's signature move is budget-first estimating: you build an annual overhead budget, and LMN derives the hourly rates each crew must charge to hit break-even plus profit. It forces the discipline most contractors skip - knowing what an hour actually costs before pricing it. The trade-off: setting up the budget properly takes real effort, and if the budget is garbage, every rate downstream is too. Aspire estimates from production rates and item catalogs tied to work tickets - powerful for commercial maintenance where the same services repeat across hundreds of properties, and it feeds purchasing and scheduling directly. It assumes someone maintains those catalogs. Verdict: LMN for instilling pricing discipline in a growing company; Aspire for standardizing estimates across an office team at commercial scale. Scheduling & field management. Aspire wins on depth: scheduling, routing, purchasing, and crew mobile workflows are one connected system - a schedule change flows into labor forecasts and job cost automatically. LMN's Crew app covers the essentials well (schedules, punch-ins with GPS verification, route optimization, per-visit notes) and is included on every tier. For a 10-crew company, LMN's field tools are usually plenty; for a 40-crew commercial operation juggling subcontractors and purchasing, Aspire's integration is the difference-maker. Profitability tracking. Both do real-time job costing - but check the tier. In LMN, real-time job costing, equipment/material costing, and vendor bill tracking live on the Professional plan ($648/month), not Starter. Aspire's per-property, per-service-line profitability reporting is arguably the deepest in the industry - it's a big part of what you're paying for. The uncomfortable question: if profitability visibility is the main thing you want, both are expensive ways to get it. Tracking estimated vs actual job costs doesn't require an operations platform. DynaScape vs LMN: different tools for different jobs. This one's simpler than it looks: DynaScape draws; LMN runs. DynaScape Creator ($119/month, browser-based) and Design ($158/month, Windows CAD) exist to produce professional landscape drawings - plant libraries, takeoff counts from the plan, presentation-quality output that helps design-build firms close bigger jobs. LMN has zero design capability and doesn't pretend otherwise. The overlap people ask about is business management: DynaScape's Manage360 (quote-based) bolts estimating, pipeline, and job costing onto the design workflow - drawing | takeoff | estimate in one vendor. It's convenient if you live in DynaScape all day. But if design is only part of your revenue and maintenance/installs are the engine, LMN's budgeting, scheduling, and crew tools fit the day-to-day better. Practical pairing many design-build firms actually use: DynaScape for drawings and takeoff counts, plus a dedicated estimating/costing tool to price the work - measuring quantities and pricing them with burden, travel, and overhead are separate steps, and you don't have to buy both from one vendor. The decision guide: pick by company, not by feature list. Commercial company, $1M+ revenue, office staff | Aspire. You'll actually use the purchasing, scheduling depth, and per-property P&L. Budget for implementation - in money and in months of internal effort. If you're not ready to assign someone to own the system, you're not ready for Aspire. Full-service company scaling past ~10 field staff | LMN. The budget-first methodology is genuinely good medicine for a company whose pricing grew up ad hoc. Go in knowing real job costing needs Professional ($648/month), and licenses add up as you grow. Design-build firm that sells drawings | DynaScape. Creator at $119/month is the accessible entry; Design at $158/month for CAD veterans. Add Manage360 if you want one-vendor business management, or pair the design tools with dedicated costing software. Crew under ~50 whose real problem is "am I quoting profitably?" none of the above. Be honest about the problem you're solving. If quotes go out without knowing burdened labor, travel cost, overhead share, and true margin, that's a job costing problem - and $297-$648/month platforms are expensive ways to fix it. GreenMargins does exactly that layer at $59/month, no onboarding fee. It deliberately doesn't do scheduling, CRM, or payroll - if you need those too, keep your field app for operations and add costing beside it.

Aspire expands global footprint with U.S. Launch. The U.S. expansion will be led by former Revolut executive David Harris as Aspire builds out its presence in the market. Get the hottest Fintech Singapore News once a month in your Inbox Singapore-based fintech Aspire has officially launched in the United States, expanding its cross-border financial platform to businesses operating across multiple markets. The company serves more than 50,000 businesses and offers multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, yield, payroll infrastructure, spend management and real-time financial controls through a single platform. Its platform also integrates cards, credit, accounting and payroll tools across 16 currencies. As part of the rollout, Aspire is entering the market with technology and financial infrastructure partners including Stripe. "We've seen Aspire's incredible velocity in Asia, and bringing that same innovation to the U.S. is a massive win for founders everywhere. Stripe is here to fuel the global ambitions of Asia's tech leaders and to give these global champions the infrastructure they need to scale and win on the world stage," said Paul Harapin, Chief Revenue Officer, Asia Pacific & Japan at Stripe. Aspire has also deepened its integration with Deel to support payroll and hiring across markets. The launch follows recent U.S. regulatory milestones for Aspire, including its registration as a Money Services Business and as a Registered Investment Adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company has also appointed former Revolut executive David Harris as its U.S. Country Head. Aspire's platform is supported by more than 10 international licenses across Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Europe, the United States and Canada. "As the world's largest startup ecosystem and a hub for venture-backed innovation, the United States has become a launchpad for global innovation and expansion. Founders can't afford to have multiple local banks on one side and their CFO suite on the other. They need a financial platform that understands how they operate and scales with them. Our ambition isn't incremental improvement - we want to define a new $3 trillion category by bringing regulated financial operations together with intelligent software and automation for global startups." said Andrea Baronchelli, Co-Founder and CEO of Aspire.
