Pricing & cost
Pricing ModelPublic tiered monthly subscription model based on feature tier and included seat counts (Starter and Professional tiers), alongside custom quote-based pricing for Enterprise. Additional user licenses are available for a fee. ↗
Typical CostLMN Starter starts at $297/month (includes 1 office/crew lead license and 5 crew member licenses). LMN Professional starts at $648/month (includes 3 office/crew lead licenses and 15 crew member licenses). LMN Enterprise requires custom pricing (starts at 100 users). Additional licenses are available for an extra fee. ↗
Api Or Integration FeesQuickBooks integration is included across tiers. Zapier integrations are included starting on the Professional tier. SMS customer messaging is available as a paid add-on ($75 one-time fee + $30/month for 500 SMS/mo, $0.06 per additional SMS). Greenius training platform integration is available as a paid add-on. ↗
Implementation CostLMN requires a mandatory one-time onboarding/launch fee (Starter Launch, Professional Launch, or Enterprise Launch). Specific published setup fees are cited at $847 (Capterra) or $997 for Starter and $1,497 for Professional. ↗
API & data access
Has ApiNo ↗
Api Access GatingGated behind paid subscription plans; access to API settings and keys requires an active LMN Professional or Enterprise subscription. ↗
Api LimitationsLMN does not offer a standalone public REST, GraphQL, or SOAP developer API. Integration is restricted to its pre-built Zapier connector, which supports a narrow set of triggers and actions (e.g., CRM contacts, to-dos, requests, communication history) and requires triggering events/entities to have been created or updated within the preceding 24 hours. ↗
Data Export OptionsLMN provides official report generation tools across modules (CRM Contacts, Communication History, To-Dos, Jobsites, Estimate Cost Codes, and Vendor Bills) that export directly to Excel (.xlsx) and CSV spreadsheets. LMN also includes native integrations to export and sync data directly to QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online. ↗
Native AI features
Ai Features SummaryAs of early 2026, LMN (by Granum) has minimal native AI capabilities. Its primary AI-related functionality is an integration with Beam AI (powered by Attentive.ai)—announced in February 2025 and released in February 2026—which maps AI-driven site measurement and takeoff data directly into LMN CRM and estimating workflows. On February 19, 2026, LMN entered open beta for a native 'AI-Powered Crew Notes Refinement' feature in the LMN Crew mobile app. LMN does not offer native AI dispatching, AI financial automation, an AI assistant/copilot, or an MCP server. ↗
Ai DispatchLMN does not offer AI-powered dispatching or scheduling. Scheduling relies on standard rule-based tools, drag-and-drop job calendars, and algorithmic route optimization for job groups rather than AI or machine learning models. ↗
Ai FinanceLMN does not offer native AI invoicing or AP/AR automation. Financial workflows rely on traditional rule-based capabilities, such as QuickBooks synchronization and LMN Pay powered by Stripe (launched March 2026) for digital payments and invoicing, without AI document parsing or automated AI collections. ↗
Ai Assistant Or McpLMN does not offer a native AI assistant, AI copilot, conversational AI bot, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. ↗
Integrations & ecosystem
Accounting IntegrationsLMN / Granum provides native, proprietary accounting sync tools for QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online, enabling direct syncing of estimates, customers, jobs, invoices, timesheets, and payments. It does not offer native integrations for enterprise construction accounting systems like Sage Intacct or Foundation. Connections to other accounting or payroll software (such as Xero) are supported via third-party automation tools like Zapier. LMN itself acts as the core field management and project management platform (covering budgeting, estimating, scheduling, CRM, and time tracking via the LMN Crew app) and operates within the Granum product family alongside SingleOps and Greenius. ↗
MarketplaceLMN / Granum maintains an Estimating Marketplace and vendor directory within its platform for searching supplier materials, along with an industry partner network (Granum Partners). However, it does not offer a public third-party software application marketplace or developer integration directory, using Zapier to facilitate external SaaS workflows. ↗
Unified Api SupportNo. Major unified-API platforms for construction and B2B SaaS, such as Agave and Merge.dev, do not list support or integrations for LMN / Granum. ↗
Accounting fit & implementation
Certified PayrollSupported via add-on/partner integration (not native). LMN captures hours and exports job-specific payroll codes (including prevailing wage items) to external payroll systems like QuickBooks Payroll, Paychex, or specialized compliance tools, which perform wage calculations and generate certified payroll reports (e.g., WH-347). ↗
Accounting MethodSupports accrual accounting through synchronization with integrated accounting systems (e.g., QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop), where income and expenses are recognized based on invoice and bill dates. LMN functions as an operational and job costing tool rather than a standalone general ledger. ↗
Wip Poc SupportPartial/Indirect. LMN provides real-time job costing comparing budgeted vs. actual labor and materials, but formal Work-in-Progress (WIP) schedules and Percentage-of-Completion (POC) revenue recognition (tracking overbillings and underbillings under ASC 606) are not calculated natively within LMN and must be managed in connected accounting software. ↗
Implementation TimeTypically 2 weeks to 2 months (approx. 60 days) depending on business complexity, company size, and data migration needs. ↗
Requires ImplementerNo. LMN provides direct, in-house onboarding through dedicated implementation specialists and 1:1 sessions, as well as self-paced training via LMN Academy, without requiring a third-party Value-Added Reseller (VAR) or independent implementer. ↗
Adoption & market position
Market PositionLMN (Landscape Management Network), now operating as 'LMN by Granum', is a market-leading business management platform built specifically for green industry service providers, including landscaping, snow removal, design-build, and lawn care contractors. In November 2024, LMN merged with SingleOps, leading to the October 2025 launch of parent company Granum, which unifies LMN, SingleOps, and Greenius into a single enterprise software ecosystem. Prior to the merger, LMN was backed by Serent Capital (invested in 2020) and made acquisitions of its own, including SLICE Technologies and Greenius. ↗
Customer ScaleLMN serves over 3,000 North American landscaping companies, supporting more than 85,000 daily active users and over 245,000 managed employees. Contractors using LMN have generated more than $51 billion in estimates and $25 billion in contracts on the platform. ↗
MomentumLMN demonstrates strong growth and industry consolidation momentum rather than legacy decline. Contractors view LMN as a modern, industry-standard system valued for budgeting, job costing, and QuickBooks integration. Its reach and R&D backing expanded significantly following its merger with SingleOps and the release of new embedded services like LMN Pay (powered by Stripe). It maintains strong customer sentiment with ratings of 4.4/5 on G2 and 4.5/5 on Capterra. ↗
Facts are grounded in public sources (linked above), combined with our hands-on implementation experience with this system. The AI-readiness tier is a transparent heuristic from API openness, data extractability, native AI, and momentum, not a vendor ranking. This is our assessment as of 2026, not advice; software features and pricing change, and vendors are welcome to correct anything here — verify current specifics with the vendor before deciding.
