LawnStarter for Providers allows lawn care providers to claim jobs, manage their schedules, and coordinate their crews. This app works in conjunction with LawnStarter's web platform, which allows lawn care companies to claim extra clients on their already existing routes. This app uses background geolocation tracking to provide location data that can be interacted with on LawnStarter's web software. On this software providers can track and manage their fleet of individual lawn care crews in real time to see the current status of job completions for a given day. Historical location data is also provided on our web software to help providers make informed decisions about coverage areas and assign jobs in an order that optimizes crews' routes (Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LawnStarter for Providers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LawnStarter for Providers has 4.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of LawnStarter for Providers's written reviews are positive against 100% of Scrap Science's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LawnStarter for Providers ships an update every 6 days, Scrap Science every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
