Best Seasonal Scheduling Software for Snow Removal (2026)

I'm Mike Vidan. I run All American Pressure Cleaning and I co-founded QuoteIQ, so QuoteIQ is number one on this list and you should weigh that. For seasonal snow scheduling, the real question is how a season of visits gets onto the calendar. QuoteIQ at $29.99 a month covers a small crew with a drag-and-drop calendar, recurring jobs and a bulk reschedule-and-text command, Yeti and Service Autopilot are built around storm runs, and Jobber documents a seasonal setup in its help center. Every price below came from the vendor's own page on October 20, 2026.

TL;DR

• QuoteIQ — $29.99/mo for 1 user, extra users $25. Best for owner-operators and small crews that want one app for quotes, calendar, texts and invoices.

• Jobber — $49/mo. Best for a documented one-job-per-property seasonal setup on a budget.

• Yeti Software — $66.50/mo billed annually. Best for repeat storm routes with subcontractors.

• Service Autopilot — from $49/mo at annual rates. Best for established lawn-and-snow companies with mixed billing.

• LMN — $297/mo. Best for landscape companies that plow in winter.

• Aspire — quote only. Best for larger landscape-and-snow firms running subs.

• Shifton — free for up to 2 team members. Best for simple crew shift scheduling.

• Housecall Pro — $79/mo. Best for home-service shops where snow is a side line.

How I Picked These

I'm a QuoteIQ co-founder, so you should know who made these calls. I looked at five things a snow operator needs from a calendar: how a season of visits gets created, what happens to the schedule when a storm moves or cancels the plan, how crews and subcontractors get assigned, whether proof of service ties back to the visit, and the standard monthly price. I read each vendor's published pricing, snow and scheduling pages on October 20, 2026, and I only list a price when the page shows one. I run a pressure washing company, not a plow fleet, and I haven't run the seven other tools myself, so what I say about them is what their own pages claim, with the gaps named. QuoteIQ is first because I co-founded it. Past that, the order is my read on seasonal scheduling fit for crews from one truck to a few dozen. If you plow for a living, treat this as a shortlist and ask each vendor for a live walkthrough before you commit.

Quick Comparison

1. QuoteIQ — Best Overall for Owner-Operators and Small Snow Crews

What it is

QuoteIQ is the field service app I co-founded: quotes, scheduling, invoicing and payments in one place. Its snow removal page describes seasonal flat-rate, per-storm and per-inch contracts through the online portal, plus storm route planning, GPS, time clocks, timestamped photos and salt logs. The calendar is drag-and-drop in day, week and month views with a five-second undo, a schedule-conflict warning, multi-day jobs and a crew filter. Schedule Later lets you build a job with every detail and no date, then drop it on the calendar when the storm lands.

Pricing

Essentials is $29.99 a month for 1 user, Beginner $99.99 (2 users), Pro $199.99 (4), Elite $299.99 (10) and Max $699.99 (20). Extra users are $25 a month on any plan, and every plan has a 14-day trial. Calendar, recurring jobs, online booking and reminders are on all five plans. Route optimization, mass text and email, the GPS location tracker and time tracking start at Elite, and crew creation and crew scheduling are listed on Max. The pricing page has the full table.

Where it fits

It fits an owner-operator or a small crew with contract driveways and lots who also runs other seasonal work and wants one calendar all year. AI Autopilot is on every plan, and its feature page lists "Move all of today's jobs to Friday and text every customer" among its example scenarios, which is exactly a storm-day move. If you want to see it with your own properties, book a QuoteIQ demo.

Tradeoffs

Recurring jobs are calendar-based (daily, weekly, every two weeks, custom), not triggered by snowfall, so per-storm visits get created when the storm comes, through Schedule Later or a bulk move. I can't point to a one-click storm mode. Autopilot draws on a monthly IQ Credits pool (500 on Essentials up to 8,000 on Max), and the page lists ClientHub texts at 4 credits each, so a large storm notice is a credit question to ask about. The pricing page doesn't say which plan first lets you assign a job to an individual team member, so confirm that in a demo.

2. Jobber — Best for a Documented Seasonal Visit Workflow

What it is

Jobber is a general field service app, and its help center has a snow removal workflow. You make one recurring job per property for the season with the repeat set to "as-needed," so the job acts as the contract and each visit is a service day. A "Create new visits" step can add visits to many jobs at once, filtered by tags or line items.

Pricing

Month-to-month, Core is $49 for 1 user, Connect starts at $139, Grow at $199 and Plus is $499 for 5 users. Extra users are $29 a month and there is a 14-day trial. Automated reminders start at Connect, and crew scheduling is listed on Plus.

Where it fits

It fits a small plow or lawn-and-snow business that wants a written, repeatable process for the season and a familiar app. The invoice can be fixed per period or per completed visit, which maps onto seasonal and per-push contracts. Its scheduling page covers the calendar side.

Tradeoffs

You still decide when to create visits, and the bulk step handles 100 jobs at a time per the help article. The map shows up to 500 jobs. It is a general tool with a snow process documented, not a storm-run product, and crew scheduling sits at the $499 tier.

3. Yeti Software — Best for Storm Runs Built Around Snow

What it is

Yeti is snow and ice management software. You build sites and optimized multi-crew routes once, then rerun them every storm. Its mobile app sends weather alerts and schedule updates, subcontractors get controlled access to complete work orders while you watch progress, and GPS tracking covers crews and subs with one-tap clock-ins.

Pricing

One plan, High Performance, priced by number of sites. The pricing page shows $66.50 a month billed annually ($798 a year) for 1 to 25 sites, with a monthly billing option whose price I couldn't see. Weather reporting is a paid add-on, and the page lists a 60-day money-back guarantee instead of a trial.

Where it fits

It fits contractors who run the same routes every storm and lean on subcontractors. Each visit keeps GPS-verified history with photos and timestamps, and invoices can sync to QuickBooks Online. Yeti also publishes snow management articles if you want to see how it thinks about routes.

Tradeoffs

Pricing grows with your site count, and the only figure shown is the annual-billed one. There is no free trial on the page. You can book a Yeti demo to see it live.

4. Service Autopilot — Best for Established Lawn-and-Snow Operations

What it is

Service Autopilot lets you "use pre-built master routes for pending storms" and add or cancel jobs during a snow event from the mobile app. It supports hourly, flat rate, per inch, per push and per event billing, can require before and after photos for every visit, and tracks time and crew location.

Pricing

The pricing page shows Startup at $49, Pro at $199 and Pro Plus at $499, all at annual-subscription rates with no monthly option listed, and Elite on request. A one-time sign-up fee applies and the amount isn't stated.

Where it fits

It fits established lawn and snow companies that bill several ways and want repeat routes ready before the forecast hits. Its page says the software can tell customers when a service can't be completed because of weather, and it has a snow software overview of how it fits a snow business.

Tradeoffs

The standard monthly price isn't published, the sign-up fee is unstated, and a "Snow Dispatch" line appears in its comparison chart without my being able to confirm which plan includes it. Its snow page gives no detail on subcontractor scheduling. See the Service Autopilot site for a demo request.

5. LMN — Best for Landscape Companies That Plow in Winter

What it is

LMN is landscape business software, and its Snow & Ice page says to plan snow passes, plow routes and priority zones, set seasonal or per-event pricing, and track plow passes, salt applications and proof of service. Crews clock in through a mobile app that supports offline and bilingual modes, and invoices can be generated from crew logs after an event.

Pricing

Starter is $297 a month for companies under 10 employees and Professional is $648 a month. Crew scheduling, the calendar, the whiteboard and route optimization are in every plan. A one-time onboarding fee exists and the amount isn't stated.

Where it fits

It fits a landscape contractor that already runs mowing and installs and wants winter work in the same system. The scheduling page says you drag jobs onto a calendar, assign crew routes and make quick changes for weather, delays or call-backs.

Tradeoffs

It has the highest published entry price on this list, and the onboarding fee is unstated. The Snow & Ice page doesn't mention GPS or per-push contracts. The LMN Crew app is where the field side lives.

6. Aspire — Best for Larger Landscape-and-Snow Companies

What it is

Aspire is an operations platform for larger landscape and snow firms. Its snow page describes "real-time, drag-and-drop scheduling across one or multiple crews," a subcontractor portal that shares schedules, service tickets and time-and-materials quantities with winter subs for each visit, and location-tagged clock-in and clock-out.

Pricing

Aspire doesn't publish prices. Its plans page sorts tiers by annual revenue (Growth for $1 to $5 million, Enterprise for $5 to $13 million, Corporate above that) and pricing comes through a demo.

Where it fits

It fits companies past $1 million in revenue that manage subcontractors and several crews through winter. Customers can get SMS or email updates on scheduled visits, completed work and changes due to weather, and the scheduling feature page covers the calendar.

Tradeoffs

It isn't built for an owner-operator, and the price is a demo conversation. The snow page gives few operational details about storm workflows beyond saying teams can close out snow events sooner. See the mobile app page before you assume what crews see in the field.

7. Shifton — Best Free Option for Simple Crew Scheduling

What it is

Shifton is an employee scheduling app with a snow removal page. It says a storm run can be sent to crews in one action and that you get alerts for sites that haven't been started. The free plan covers up to 2 team members with no time limit and includes task management, scheduling and a mobile app.

Pricing

The pricing page shows the free plan plus paid modules (work location control, inventory, invoicing, customer portal) with trials of up to 55 days. Its listing says per-employee pricing starts at $5 a month, but I couldn't confirm the billing period.

Where it fits

It fits a very small crew, or a set of subs, that needs a shared schedule and nothing else. Pair it with a quoting tool, since Shifton is a scheduler first and invoicing is a paid module.

Tradeoffs

I couldn't confirm shift templates, on-call rotations or availability tracking from the snow page. I didn't see quoting or seasonal contract management on its snow page.

8. Housecall Pro — Best for Home-Service Shops Where Snow Is a Side Line

What it is

Housecall Pro is a general home-service app with scheduling, dispatch, online booking and reminders on every plan. Recurring work runs through its recurring service plans feature.

Pricing

The pricing page doesn't clearly label which figures are monthly. I read $79 for Basic (1 user), $189 for Essentials (up to 5 users) and $329 for Max (up to 8, extra users $35) as the month-to-month set, with $59, $149 and $299 as the annual set. Recurring service plans are listed on Max only, and there is a 14-day trial. Employee GPS tracking is on Essentials and Max.

Where it fits

It fits a shop where snow is one line next to other home services and the team already thinks in jobs and dispatch. See its GPS tracking page for the field-tracking side.

Tradeoffs

I didn't find a snow removal workflow page on its site, so you'd adapt its plans to winter yourself. Recurring plans cost the $329 tier, and its dispatching page reads as general home service, not storm work.

What Operators Say

None of these three reviewers is tagged as a snow contractor in my review database, and the only two snow-tagged reviews already run elsewhere on this site, so read them as general comments on the app.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best scheduling software for snow removal companies?

For a one-truck or small-crew operation I'd start with QuoteIQ, because it keeps the calendar, recurring jobs, invoicing and customer texting in one app from $29.99 a month, and I say that as its co-founder. If your whole business is storm runs with subcontractors, Yeti Software was built around that and starts at $66.50 a month billed annually. Jobber is the budget pick with a documented seasonal setup from $49 a month, and Aspire or LMN make more sense once you are a bigger landscape-and-snow company. The right pick depends on how you create visits, so match the tool to that before you compare feature lists. My snow removal software roundup covers quoting, billing and equipment beyond scheduling.

How do I schedule a seasonal snow removal contract in software?

Jobber's help center describes making one recurring job per property for the season with the repeat set to "as-needed," so the job acts as the contract and each visit is a service day, and its "Create new visits" step can add visits to many jobs at once, 100 at a time (Jobber's snow removal workflow). In QuoteIQ you can build the job with all details and no date using Schedule Later, then assign the date when the storm hits, and the portal handles seasonal flat-rate, per-storm or per-inch contracts. In Yeti you build your routes once and rerun them each storm. Whatever you pick, decide first whether you bill per season, per visit or per inch, because that choice drives how visits are counted.

How much does snow removal scheduling software cost?

Published standard monthly prices run from free to a few hundred dollars. Shifton has a free plan for up to 2 team members, QuoteIQ starts at $29.99 for 1 user with extra users at $25, Jobber Core is $49, Housecall Pro Basic is $79 and LMN Starter is $297 for companies under 10 employees. Yeti's $66.50 a month is billed annually ($798 a year for 1 to 25 sites), and Service Autopilot's $49 Startup is an annual-subscription rate with an unstated sign-up fee. Aspire doesn't publish prices. Compare at the number of users you will actually need, since extra users run $25 on QuoteIQ, $29 on Jobber and $35 on Housecall Pro Max.

How do I reschedule snow removal jobs when a storm changes the plan?

In QuoteIQ you can drag jobs between days with a five-second undo, and AI Autopilot, included on every plan, can move all of today's jobs to another day and text each customer from one command. AI actions use IQ Credits, and the page lists texts at 4 credits each, so check your pool. LMN says its scheduling supports quick changes for weather, delays or call-backs, Aspire customers can get SMS or email on changes due to weather, and Service Autopilot lets you add or cancel jobs during a snow event. If your main need is texting a whole customer list, see my mass text software for snow removal post.

Can I schedule snow removal subcontractors in the same software?

Yes in some tools. Yeti gives subs controlled access to complete work orders while you see their progress, and Aspire's subcontractor portal shares schedules, service tickets and time-and-materials quantities with winter subs for each visit. Shifton sends a storm run to crews in one action. QuoteIQ lists crew creation and crew scheduling on Max at $699.99, and I haven't seen a subcontractor portal on its pages, so ask about that in a demo if subs are central to your winter. Jobber lists crew scheduling on Plus at $499. If you also run a landscape crew, my guide to crew scheduling software for landscaping companies covers the year-round side.

How seasonal is snow removal work and how should I plan for a slow winter?

IBISWorld puts US snowplowing services at about $27.9 billion in revenue across roughly 108,000 businesses, growing about 3.1% a year over five years, and notes that warmer-than-average winters and lower snowfall make revenue volatile. WeatherWorks says normal seasonal snowfall occurs only about one-third of the time or less. The Bureau of Labor Statistics adds that some grounds maintenance workers provide snow removal in winter and that the work can be seasonal. My planning takeaway is to favor seasonal flat-rate contracts that cover light winters and to choose software that keeps your off-season work in the same calendar.

Do I need route optimization to schedule snow routes?

Not always. For a few dozen stops, a saved route you rerun every storm can be enough, and Yeti and Service Autopilot both lean on routes you build once ahead of the forecast. Jobber's map shows up to 500 jobs, LMN lists route optimization on every plan, and QuoteIQ's route optimization and GPS location tracker start at Elite for $299.99 a month. Route optimization matters more as stops grow and trucks multiply, because the order of stops decides how fast the last driveway gets cleared. Ask each vendor whether routing works across your whole fleet at once or one truck at a time, and whether a storm-day change re-sequences the stops or just moves the job. I compare the options in my snow removal route planning roundup.

How do I start a QuoteIQ trial for snow removal scheduling?

Every QuoteIQ plan has a 14-day trial, and a credit or debit card is required to start. Pick a plan on the pricing page, then load a handful of real properties and practice a storm-day move: build a few jobs with Schedule Later, drag them onto a day, and try the bulk reschedule-and-text command. Route optimization, the GPS location tracker and time tracking sit on Elite and Max, so if those matter, ask to see them on a demo account rather than assuming your starter plan includes them. If you'd rather see it with someone walking you through it, book a demo. To weigh it against the budget option, read my Jobber vs QuoteIQ comparison.

Bottom Line

If you're an owner-operator or a small crew, start with QuoteIQ at $29.99 a month, and remember I co-founded it, so test it against Jobber's documented seasonal setup before you decide. If your winter is all storm runs and subs, put Yeti or Service Autopilot on the shortlist, and once you're a bigger landscape-and-snow company, look at LMN or Aspire. Pick based on how you create visits and move them when the forecast changes, not on the longest feature list. You can book a QuoteIQ demo and bring your real route.
