Icey vs LawnPro for Snow Removal: A Snow Tool or Lawn Care Software?

Should a snow company pick Icey or LawnPro?

Pick LawnPro if snow is your winter season and lawn care or landscaping is the rest of your year. It keeps the same customers, crews and invoices across seasons, has a customer portal and card payments on every plan, and prices by employee logins: Solo, free for 1 user and up to 25 customers, with no credit card; Startup, with 3 employee logins, at $39 USD a month billed monthly, or $29 a month billed annually; Grow, with 7 employee logins, at $129 USD a month billed monthly, or $99 a month billed annually; and Plus, with 15 employee logins, at $249 USD a month billed monthly, or $199 a month billed annually. Routing and optimized routes are included from Grow, and its pricing table sells optimized routes as an add-on on Solo and Startup.

Pick Icey if you work only snow and ice. Free forever up to 10 sites and 5 crew. Every feature. Paid plans are priced by sites, from $119 CAD a month for 11 to 35 sites (or $85 USD a month for a company in the United States), with every driver included, monthly with no contract. Its per-event rate cards price plowing and de-icing as separate visits, with the salt included in the price or listed separately.

What does LawnPro offer snow companies (as of November 2026)?

• A snow removal page. Its snow removal page says you can quote, schedule, dispatch, invoice and get paid in one place, and lists “Storm events & priority tiers”, “Per-push, seasonal, or T&M billing” (T&M means billing for the time and the material used), “Photo proof + GPS timestamps” and automated customer updates. Its FAQ says you can “create events with trigger depths, set tiers, and auto-generate efficient routes”, and the page pitches route optimization to “optimize routes to cut drive time and fit more stops per storm”.
• Routes, from Grow. Its routing runs on Trimble Maps and puts the day on one map, with each crew’s stops in its own color. One click orders the stops by shortest distance or fastest time, or you lock your own order; it makes a separate route for each crew, lets you draw a shape on the map to pick a group of stops or split a day between crews, starts and ends routes at any address, and sends each new order to the crew app. Traffic, weather radar, weather alerts and road surface conditions can be switched on over the route map. Its pricing table lists routing on Grow and Plus, and optimized routes as an add-on on Solo and Startup, at a price the pages we read don’t give.
• Crew apps on iPhone and Android. The apps are on every plan, with App Store and Google Play links on its pages, and crews see job details, contracts and property notes on the go. With time tracking, crews clock in and out and start a timer on each visit, a GPS position is saved at each of those taps, and you compare budgeted with actual hours. On GPS its pages differ: its pricing table lists live location tracking (“Track crew locations in real time”) from Startup, while its time tracking page says “GPS location is captured only at clock events” and that LawnPro “does not continuously track location throughout the day”.
• Photos. Its photos are on every plan, including shots taken before and after the work that show side by side in its customer portal, with captions and a choice of which ones clients see. Video is on Grow and Plus. Its snow page FAQ says crews “capture GPS time logs, notes” and photos “for compliance and insurance”.
• Estimates and season contracts. Its estimates have a satellite area calculator on every plan, and customers approve, decline or ask for changes in its customer portal, with deposits on paid plans. On signatures its pages differ: its estimates page says “LawnPro does not collect an e-signature on estimates”, while its customer portal page says customers “approve estimates with e-signatures”. Its level billing, on every plan, spreads a contract’s price into equal monthly payments.
• Invoices and payments. Its invoicing bills per visit, in a weekly or monthly batch, or the same amount every month, and on paid plans it can create and send a customer’s invoices on a schedule you pick. Its payments take Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover on every plan, PayPal from Startup and ACH from Grow (each an add-on below that), and Plus charges saved cards on file automatically (an add-on below Plus). Card payments cost 2.9% + $0.30 each; for ACH its payments page says 0.80%, capped at $5 a payment, while its terms say 1%, capped at $10 on payments over $1,000; and on Solo and Startup LawnPro adds its own 1% of each payment, which it waives on Grow and Plus.
• A customer portal on every plan. In its customer portal, customers view and pay invoices, approve estimates, see scheduled visits and their service history, and see the photos you share. From Startup they can also ask for new work there; its pricing table leaves job requests off Solo.
• QuickBooks and texting. QuickBooks Sync: it keeps customers, invoices and payments in step with QuickBooks Online, both ways or in the one direction you choose, included on Plus and $29 USD a month on other plans; its page says it is “officially supported only in the U.S.”, and QuickBooks Desktop isn’t supported. Two-way texting is on Plus, or $25 a month on other plans.
• Who and where. LawnPro Software started in 2004, is in Rainbow City, Alabama, and offers phone support from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central time, seven days a week.

What its pages don’t say matters for a snow company too. The snow page never mentions salt, and its only de-icing words are in the hidden alt text of its header photo, “Crew de-icing sidewalks at dawn”, which the page itself doesn’t show. Its material records are chemical tracking for lawn treatments (product, EPA number, rate, area and applicator), and none of the pages we read says whether the app works with no signal. Ask LawnPro how it prices and records a salting visit, and test the app where your crews lose signal.

How do Icey and LawnPro compare side by side (as of November 2026)?

What would each cost a snow company for one season?

Here are two companies worked through with both price lists, every input stated, in US dollars, the currency LawnPro’s compare page uses for its plans.

1. The two companies. Both are snow companies in the United States with a 5-month season from November to March, paying month to month, and both want route optimization, which LawnPro’s pricing table includes from its Grow plan. Company A is the owner and 2 crew, with 60 sites. Company B is the owner, 1 office manager and 7 crew, with 30 sites. Each site is one customer, so neither fits LawnPro’s free Solo plan (up to 25 customers) or Icey’s Free plan. Both tools are counted for those 5 months only, as if each company stops paying for the summer. LawnPro’s terms say to “export anything you want to keep before you cancel”, and the pages we read don’t say what happens to customers over Solo’s 25 when a paid plan ends, so ask LawnPro before you plan a summer off.
2. How each one counts. LawnPro prices by employee logins, and its pricing table gives Solo 1 user and no employee logins, so this example counts everyone except the owner: 2 employee logins for Company A and 8 for Company B. If LawnPro counts the owner too, ask it for the price. Icey prices by sites, with every driver included.
3. LawnPro, Company A. 2 employee logins fit Grow (7 employee logins): 5 × $129 = $645 USD for the season billed monthly. Without route optimization, Startup (3 employee logins) would be 5 × $39 = $195 USD. LawnPro’s pricing table also sells optimized routes (“one-click route optimization for your crews”) as an add-on on Startup, at a price the pages we read don’t give. If that add-on costs less than $90 a month ($129 minus $39), Startup with it costs Company A less than Grow, so ask LawnPro for that price.
4. LawnPro, Company B. 8 employee logins is more than Grow’s 7, and its compare page says each extra login on Grow is $19 USD a month: $129 + 1 × $19 = $148 a month, and 5 × $148 = $740 USD for the season. Plus, with 15 employee logins, would be 5 × $249 = $1,245 USD.
5. Icey. Company A’s 60 sites are in the 51 to 100 sites tier, $199 USD a month for a company in the United States: 5 × $199 = $995 USD for the season. Company B’s 30 sites are in the 11 to 35 sites tier: 5 × $85 = $425 USD. Then cancel for the summer with nothing deleted. In Canada the same tiers are $279 and $119 CAD a month.
6. The result. For the season, LawnPro costs $350 USD less for Company A, and Icey costs $315 USD less for Company B. LawnPro’s price follows the people who sign in; Icey’s follows your sites.
7. What can move the numbers. QuickBooks Sync is $29 USD a month and two-way texting $25 a month on every plan below Plus, and both are included on Plus. Below Plus, QuickBooks Sync alone adds 5 × $29 = $145 USD to a season. When clients pay through LawnPro, card payments cost 2.9% + $0.30 each; for ACH its payments page says 0.80%, capped at $5 a payment, while its terms say 1%, capped at $10 on payments over $1,000; and on Solo and Startup LawnPro adds its own 1% of each payment, which it waives on Grow and Plus. Icey has no card payments, so you collect payment your own way. And a company that runs lawn care on LawnPro all year pays 12 × $99 = $1,188 USD for Grow billed annually, against 12 × $129 = $1,548 USD billed monthly.

Where is LawnPro stronger?

• One system for every season. If you mow, treat lawns or landscape from spring to fall, LawnPro keeps the same customers, crews and records when you switch to plowing, with recurring visits, chemical programs and equal monthly payments across the year. Icey is for snow and ice work only.
• A free plan for the smallest operator. LawnPro’s free plan is Solo, free for 1 user and up to 25 customers, with no credit card, so a one-person operator with more sites than Icey’s Free plan covers, but no more than 25 customers, pays nothing on LawnPro and pays for Icey. Solo has no employee logins and doesn’t include routing (optimized routes is an add-on), so a crew moves up a plan.
• Getting paid by card, PayPal or ACH. Customers pay from the invoice or its customer portal, and Plus charges saved cards on file automatically. Card payments cost 2.9% + $0.30 each; for ACH its payments page says 0.80%, capped at $5 a payment, while its terms say 1%, capped at $10 on payments over $1,000; and on Solo and Startup LawnPro adds its own 1% of each payment, which it waives on Grow and Plus. In Icey you record payments by hand; card payments are not built in.
• A customer portal on every plan. Customers view and pay invoices, approve estimates and see their scheduled visits and the photos you share, and from Startup they can ask for new work there. In Icey you email each site report with a tap, or switch on a once-a-day email.
• QuickBooks Online and crew hours. It keeps customers, invoices and payments in step with QuickBooks Online, both ways or in the one direction you choose, included on Plus and $29 USD a month on other plans; its page says it is “officially supported only in the U.S.”, and QuickBooks Desktop isn’t supported. Its time tracking compares budgeted with actual hours and adds approvals and hourly rates, though its pages differ on the plan: its pricing table lists advanced time tracking (approvals and hourly rates) from Startup, while its Time Tracking Pro row, with the same description, is an add-on on Solo and Startup and included from Grow. Icey exports a CSV file in the format QuickBooks imports, and its job timers record visits, not a person’s hours for pay.
• Android apps and phone support. LawnPro has iPhone and Android apps, and you can call it seven days a week. Icey’s Android app is still in testing, so Android crews use the web app.
• A lower price for a small crew with many sites. LawnPro prices by employee logins, not sites, so a small crew with a long site list can pay less on LawnPro than on Icey, as Company A shows in the worked example above.
• Years behind it. LawnPro started in 2004. Icey is a younger product, self-serve since July 2026, with fewer reviews.

Where is Icey stronger, or just different?

• Snow pricing built in. Icey’s per-event rate cards price plowing and de-icing as separate visits, with the salt included in the price or listed separately, or you sell a seasonal contract paid in monthly instalments. LawnPro’s snow page lists “Per-push, seasonal, or T&M billing”, and its pages don’t say how it prices a de-icing visit or the salt. See per-push vs seasonal vs per-event contracts.
• Salt records built for de-icing. Icey logs the product and amount at every de-icing visit, per site, with the visit’s time, GPS, crew and photos, and keeps the amounts in your own records. LawnPro’s chemical tracking is built for lawn treatments, and its snow page doesn’t mention salt. See how to track salt use per site.
• A storm board, on every plan. Start a snow removal storm or a de-icing storm and dispatch it from one board, with routes optimized for traffic and priority sites first and a live map of every crew. LawnPro’s pricing table includes routing from Grow and sells optimized routes as an add-on below it. See how to dispatch snow crews during a storm.
• It keeps recording with no signal. Icey’s Field Mode saves starts, finishes, photos and material logs on the phone with the time the crew tapped them, and syncs when the signal returns. The LawnPro pages we read don’t say either way, so test it before a storm in a dead zone.
• A record of each visit, ready for the client. Every completed visit makes a site report with the time and the photos, and each visit keeps the GPS position at its start and finish when the phone records one. LawnPro also saves GPS at each clock tap and shares photos in its customer portal; Icey puts each visit in one report you can email. See how to prove a crew plowed or salted.
• Quotes signed on the client’s phone. The client reviews and signs each Icey quote on their phone from the email. On LawnPro, its estimates page says “LawnPro does not collect an e-signature on estimates”, while its customer portal page says customers “approve estimates with e-signatures”, so ask how a snow contract gets signed.
• Every feature on every plan, and every driver included on paid plans. Routes, GPS, photos and site reports are on Icey’s Free plan too, and paid plans are priced by sites, from $119 CAD a month for 11 to 35 sites (or $85 USD a month for a company in the United States), so adding crew costs nothing and adding sites can move you up a tier, as Company B shows in the worked example above. On LawnPro, its pricing table lists live location from Startup and routing from Grow, with optimized routes an add-on below Grow, and QuickBooks Sync and two-way texting are included only on Plus.

Both have a free plan, a crew app, routes and invoices, so the real question is whether snow is your whole business or your winter season. See proof of service, salt tracking and is there free snow removal software?

We have not run a storm on LawnPro, so we can’t tell you how its app feels on a long night. Set up a few of your sites on LawnPro’s free plan or a paid-plan trial and on Icey’s free plan, test both apps somewhere with no signal, and decide with your own records.

Who should pick which?

• Lawn care or landscaping in summer and snow in winter, in one system: LawnPro.
• You want clients to pay by card, PayPal or ACH, or to use a customer portal: LawnPro.
• You want QuickBooks Online kept up to date for you, and crew hours with approvals: LawnPro, on Plus or with its add-on.
• A one-person operator with up to 25 customers who doesn’t need routing: LawnPro’s Solo plan is free.
• A small crew with a long site list, on a budget: price both; LawnPro’s price by employee logins can come out lower.
• Snow and ice only, with up to 10 sites and 5 crew: Icey, free, with every feature.
• A bigger crew with fewer sites: price both; Icey’s price by sites, with every driver included, can come out lower.
• Per-event rate cards with de-icing as its own visit, and salt logs per site: Icey.
• Crews who work where the signal drops: Icey’s Field Mode keeps recording with no signal; LawnPro’s pages don’t say, so test it in a dead zone.
• A lawn company that wants a snow tool for winter only: Icey runs the winter side, and LawnPro can stay for the summer. They don’t connect to each other, so the office works in two systems.
