ProValet vs Yardbook

Yardbook is free, built for landscapers, and good for one truck when you do not mind doing the admin by hand. ProValet is the step up when you are past about 150 customers or running a second crew and want to stop chasing money.

Choose Yardbook if

You run one truck and want a free tool.
You are fine doing the admin yourself: building the schedule, sending invoices, following up on payment.

Choose ProValet if

Your week is routes. Weekly and biweekly service plans with their own timing rules, not repeated appointments. The schedule builds itself; when a crew member calls out, the routes rebuild.
You want to get paid automatically. AutoPay on file, the invoice goes out when the work is done, and 70%+ of invoices are paid within 7 days across our operators.
You want the phone to stop ringing. Every customer gets the Homeowner App: service reports with photos, invoices, AutoPay, and a button to request work.
You want crew output without asking for it. A per-tech, per-day report arrives on its own; no timers for the crew to remember.
Landscaping projects too. Estimates, down payments and completion invoicing run a one-off job start to finish.
You want it done for you. We import your customers, routes and plans. No data entry on your side.
