Why Green Industry Pros Choose Tinylawn

Specialized AI for Better Results

When you need a dedicated AI receptionist built exclusively for your industry, not a feature add-on.

Purpose-Built AI

Our AI is trained exclusively on green industry services. Jobber's AI receptionist is a generic add-on designed for all home services - you get better call handling with industry-specific training.

Virtual Site Visits

Customers can submit property photos and get instant lawn size estimates and quotes before you even visit - a game-changing feature that Jobber doesn't offer for call answering.

Simple, Affordable Pricing

Start at $49/month with no other subscriptions required. With Jobber, you need to pay for the base platform plus the AI receptionist add-on, increasing your total monthly cost.

Quick Setup

Get started in minutes with pre-configured green industry workflows. No need to configure a complex business management platform when all you need is better call answering.

Seasonal Intelligence

Built-in understanding of seasonal green industry services. Our AI automatically knows about spring cleanups, fall aerations, and winterization based on location and time of year.

Focused Solution

Every feature is designed to convert calls to booked jobs. Jobber is trying to do everything (invoicing, scheduling, quotes) - we do one thing exceptionally well.

Being Fair

When Jobber Might Make Sense

Jobber is a well-established platform with a comprehensive feature set. Here are situations where Jobber might be a better fit:

  • 1 You need full business management software: If you want an all-in-one platform for invoicing, quoting, job scheduling, customer management, and payment processing, Jobber provides these features (with AI receptionist as an add-on).
  • 2 You're already using Jobber: If you're an existing Jobber customer happy with their platform, adding their AI receptionist feature might be more convenient than switching to a dedicated solution.
  • 3 You need field service tools: If you need GPS tracking, route optimization, and mobile crew management alongside call answering, Jobber's integrated approach might work better.

However, if your primary need is a powerful, dedicated AI receptionist that truly understands the green industry and converts more calls to booked jobs, Tinylawn is purpose-built for exactly that.
