What we checked on CLIP
Promotion and regular price
promotion: CLIP runs limited-time offers rather than a published list price, including a first month free on an annual plan and a second-month-free banner dated to 31 August 2026, with no regular monthly price published anywhere.
For a limited time, get your first month of CLIP free when you sign up for an annual plan.
Quote only
Every plan is sold through a demo and the sales team: the help centre tells customers to email or phone sales to change plans, and the only published tier information is which customer count suits which plan.
To change update your CLIPitc Plan, you'll need to contact our sales team directly.
What the price is based on
Plans are tiered by how many customers you service rather than per technician, and the vendor says no tier withholds features, so the choice between Basic, Pro and Enterprise is a customer-count decision.
No plan withholds features, so with CLIP, it’s all about how many customers you service. If you’re just getting started, Basic is your route.…

Adding a user
CLIP scales on serviced customer count, not on seats, and users are added freely with their own permissions, but the vendor publishes no per-user price and the mobile app is designed around one device per crew.
We've also set it up so you will only need one device for each crew as opposed to buying a phone for each employee.
Setup or onboarding fee
An advanced setup package exists and is described as optional on top of free help articles and videos, but CLIP never says what that advanced setup costs or whether any mandatory onboarding fee applies.
Aside from our help articles, and videos, we offer an optional advanced setup that will make you a CLIP expert.

Card processing rate
CLIP publishes its own processing rate of 2.85% plus a $14.95 monthly fee, and its master agreement obliges clients to be processing through the integrated platform within sixty days or face restricted features and extra fees.
Our platform syncs with QuickBooks for both mobile and desktop applications, or we offer a fine-tuned in-house payment processing system at a flare…

Features for one trade
Chemical and EPA tracking is built in, and the materials record carries active ingredient name, percentage, formulation type and target organism, which is the chemical log a lawn or pest applicator needs.
Stay compliant with EPA reporting with a few clicks. Track chemicals and quantities with ease and prepare reports in seconds.

Schedule and calendar
The office schedules recurring pattern jobs and one-offs, sees crew capacity before assigning, and can move jobs between dates on a work calendar, with route order adjusted by dragging stops.
After optimizing, you will be able to click and drag the jobs around if you do not like the routing that was given.
Technician app
Crew leaders get the day's jobs in route order on iOS or Android with job notes, materials, property details, customer phone numbers and history, and record work, photos and signatures from the app.
Jobs are listed in route order. Route numbers can be assigned manually from the computer under each job.
Route planning
Routing optimises the order of each crew's stops via Google Maps and saves the sequence for the following week, though the help article warns optimisation may degrade past 85 stops at once.
Next, you will need to "Optimize Stops". This process will look for the most efficient route for your crews.
Where the trucks are
Crew positions are tracked through the crew's mobile device and shown on a map under Daily, with satellite and traffic views and a Crew Route report of past locations; no separate charge is mentioned.
CLIPitc uses the mobile device to keep track of where your crews are. To see where your crew is during the day go to Daily>Crew position.
Texts to customers
Pre- and post-service notification emails are templated per customer and per job, including an on-the-way message and a materials grid after the visit; texting is documented for invoices and statements rather than arrival alerts.
Use auto-notification emails to let customers know you are “on the way” or that the “job is complete.”
clip.com/featuresChecked
Maintenance plans and recurring jobs
Recurring service agreements are tied to the customer record and feed scheduling and billing, and pattern jobs set a season's visits once instead of re-entering them weekly.
Tie recurring service agreements directly to the customer record
Checklists, photos and signatures
From the job screen crews add images, record weather and lawn conditions and capture a customer signature, and estimates use custom forms and fields; a general checklist builder is not described.
You can also add images, record weather conditions, and capture customer signatures.
Works without signal
CLIP advertises offline access to routes and job details for crews in dead zones, with automatic sync once back in range; it does not state which actions can be recorded while offline.
Access routes and job details in the field without a signal
Quotes and estimates
Estimates are built on desktop or phone, signed electronically by the customer, and on acceptance the quoted services become jobs in the customer's property package, with a deposit collectable at approval.
Customers review and sign estimates electronically
Price book and options
A materials list stores part name, unit type, unit cost and the unit price charged to the customer, and services can be added to estimates from a dropdown; good/better/best quote options are not described anywhere.
Unit Price will be the price you charge your customer for this material per Unit Type used.
Invoices
Invoices are generated from finalised job history, sent in batches by email or text with templates, and work with or without QuickBooks; automatic dunning reminders for unpaid invoices are not documented.
Invoicing takes time to design, print, send and track. But CLIP lawn care software can handle it all almost instantaneously.

Card and bank payments
Customers pay by card in the portal or from an emailed invoice, cards can be stored for autopay, and crews take card payments in the app including contactless Tap to Pay on iPhone with CLIP Pay.
Accept contactless payments directly on iPhone or iPad using CLIP — no external hardware required. Apple Tap to Pay is included in all CLIP plans at…

Parts and inventory
Materials used on jobs are tracked with unit cost and quantity and can decrement inventory inside QuickBooks, but CLIP does not describe stock levels per truck or warehouse of its own.
You can set it to do nothing, reduce Inventory in QuickBooks and not charge the customer
Online booking
Existing customers can request services through the portal once logins are enabled, so booking is request-based behind a login rather than a public widget on your website or a Google booking link.
Enable Request Service tab: Allows you to let your customers to request services.
Customer portal
Customers get their own login to see invoices, estimates, service history and documents, request work and pay their bill, with each tab switched on individually by the office.
your clients are set up with their own login credentials to log in to request services, view their balance/history, and even pay their bill!
Review requests
The CRM lists collecting reviews from satisfied customers, but the actual review and listings management is a separate Brand and Reputation Management offering sold through a sales chat, and no automatic post-job Google review request is documented.
Maintain a strong reputation with dependable review management solutions
Timesheets
Crews clock in and out per employee in the app and the vendor calls it a payroll tool, and hours are editable in the office, but the only payroll hand-off documented is sending payroll to QuickBooks from the legacy CLIPxe product.
Think of the Time Clock as a payroll tool.
Leads and follow-ups
Leads are created and mapped, estimates attach to them and To Dos handle customer follow-ups, but CLIP states it is deliberately not a sales pipeline, so there is no stage-based deal board.
CLIP is built around the property and the recurring relationship, not a sales pipeline.
Marketing campaigns
The Message Center sends filtered email blasts to selected customers with templates, tags and attachments, and marketing email templates exist in-product; postcards are not mentioned and the agency-style marketing services are priced only on enquiry.
You're able to narrow down which customers you need to email by selecting a Crew, Job or Next Visit Date.
Several locations
One account handles customers with multiple properties and packages, and franchise groups can sub-license to franchisees, but only when the order form specifically permits it, so branch operation is a contract-level arrangement.

Job costing and reports
The Job Costing report compares recorded time against charges per job, crew and customer, sorts by dollars per hour with or without travel time, and colour-codes results above or below a target.
The Job Costing report can be used when tracking time at jobs to learn what jobs are profitable for you or not.
AI features
The core scheduling and billing software documents no AI capability; AI appears in the separately sold reputation product as brand listening and automated workflows, and the master agreement reserves a general right to include AI features.
Harness the power of AI to shift from reactive, occasional, labor-intensive practices to a consistent, automated, and simplified approach
QuickBooks Online
Two-way QuickBooks sync is free and covers Desktop across all CLIP versions, but QuickBooks Online works only with the cloud CLIPitc product, and no Xero integration is documented anywhere.

CLIP is a US vendor with a toll-free US number and US tax-rate setup, and lets you pick US, Canadian, Australian, British or Euro currency, but it documents no local payment processing, VAT or GST handling outside the US.
Currency: Here you can select between US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, British Pound, or EU Euros.
Free trial or free plan
There is a trial you can start without handing over a credit card, and an onboarding guide follows once it begins; CLIP never publishes the trial length or any standing free plan.
We don’t want to add to the list of subscription services you forgot to cancel after the trial that inexplicably dings your credit card.
