Which software for your landscaping business?

Robbin costs €19 or €49 excl. VAT per month (€15 or €39 when paid yearly), Extrabat Paysage €49 to €99 excl. VAT per user per month, Paysagio €34.90 to €99.90 excl. VAT per month depending on the account (free accounts for workers), Tomas €24.50 or €49.50 excl. VAT per month, €24 to €45 per month per user (€19 to €35 paid yearly, Premium €59 to €64 yearly only) and Batappli €39 or €79 excl. VAT per month; JardiSoft and Vertuoza are on quote (prices checked on 26 October 2026). A custom extension costs €2,500 to €7,000 paid once, a complete tool €5,000 to €25,000, then €100 to €300 per month for maintenance.

General invoicing software makes quotes and invoices, but it lacks the library of structures and plants, 10% VAT on eligible structures, maintenance contracts and, for home services, tax certificates. Landscaping software starts from these needs: Robbin has a works catalogue and handles contracts in the Pro plan, Extrabat Paysage service contracts from the Standard plan, and JardiSoft (on quote) advertises 7,000 plants and 1,000 materials. A company with several teams also needs the schedule and hours per job site on the phone, found in Paysagio, Organilog or a custom tool.

Organilog has a free Basique plan, but quotes and invoices start with the Business plan (€45 per month per user, €35 paid yearly). Robbin, Paysagio and Kwixéo offer a 14-day trial with no credit card, Tomas 15 days, Batappli 10 days. Free invoicing software can help out at first, but without a plant library, maintenance contracts or tax certificates.

The contract sets the services (mowing, pruning, leaf collection), the number of visits, the period, the price, its review and termination. The software turns it into the year’s visits in the schedule and invoices at the agreed pace, every month or after each visit. Robbin handles them in the Pro plan, Extrabat Paysage from the Standard plan, Organilog from the Pro plan, JardiSoft invoices contracts according to their frequency, and Prospecto (€29 per month) targets green-space businesses of 1 to 5 people. The free template on this page includes a contract ready to fill in.

20% for creating and maintaining gardens, planting and small gardening jobs as a home service (standard rate since 1 July 2013). 10% for some structures next to a home completed more than 2 years ago: fence wall (not hedges), gate, renovation of a masonry terrace, protective low wall, main access path; the customer then certifies on the quote or invoice that the conditions are met. Sheds, greenhouses, pergolas, fountains, ponds, lighting and pools stay at 20%. On a quote that mixes both rates, show the VAT of each line and the total per rate.

If your company is declared for home services (NOVA declaration, no approval), you give each customer a tax certificate before 31 March of the following year. It lets them get a 50% tax credit on small gardening jobs, up to €5,000 of expenses a year per household. Only routine maintenance, hedge and tree trimming and brush clearing count, not garden building, tree surgery or earthworks: your software must therefore separate these services on your invoices. One landscaping company in five provides home services (20.5% according to UNEP, the French landscaping trade body).

No, with exceptions: since 1 July 2022, plant protection products are banned in private homes and their outdoor areas, apart from biocontrol products, low-risk products and those allowed in organic farming. Where they remain allowed, professional use requires the Certiphyto certificate, valid for 5 years. Your software can keep each employee’s Certiphyto with its expiry date.

The obligation to give a quote before a call-out, set in 2017 for building work (masonry, roofing, plumbing…), does not cover gardening. For home services, however, a quote is mandatory and free from €100 incl. VAT per month, with 12 required items. For a masonry structure (low wall, terrace), as for any landscaping job, a detailed signed quote remains the best protection.

Teams enter their hours on the phone, job by job, and the software compares the time spent with the time planned in the quote. Paysagio highlights hours entry and profitability per job site, Robbin margins and job-site time (in the browser, no dedicated app), and JardiSoft a field app for hours and signatures. If your teams work without network, check the offline mode: Organilog advertises it; in a custom tool, it is planned from the quote.

They are different tools. Design software (Planner 5D, Lumion, Autodesk tools…) draws the garden in plan or in 3D to present it to the customer. The management software compared on this page handles quotes, maintenance contracts, scheduling and invoices: that is what the test is about.

If your software exports your customers, contracts, works and invoices to Excel or CSV, I import them into the new tool; it is planned in the quote. Check this export option before signing with a publisher.
