Six tools turf installers actually shortlist — what each costs, how it measures, and the part of the estimate it is genuinely best at. We make one of them, and we say where the others win.
“Turf estimating software” covers four different jobs, and no tool here does all four. To price the inquiry before a site visit, use a customer-facing quote tool: MeasureTurf ($79/mo) or mySalesman ($175/mo). To draw the job and build the material list on site, ArcSite. For roll, seam and cut planning, Measure Square. To measure sloped or tree-covered yards in person, a Moasure device. QuoteIQ is the pick if you want one general field-service app and measuring is a side feature. Most installers end up with two: one that prices the lead, one that plans the install.
Public pricing as of September 2026. MeasureTurf is one of the tools listed — see sources and disclosure.
Sources and disclosure. MeasureTurf is one of the six tools listed — this is our read of the market, not an independent review. Competitor figures are from each company's own public website (arcsite.com, measuresquare.com, moasure.com, myquoteiq.com and mysalesman.com), checked September 2026. Measure Square publishes its prices per product on its own pricing page, so we point there rather than quote one. Prices and features change — check their sites for the latest.
Four of these tools do things we don't. That's the useful part of a comparison, so it's in here.
Best for: Residential turf installers who want the price range in front of the customer — and the measured lead in the inbox — before anyone drives out.
Strong at: The customer outlines the turf area on satellite and sees a price range from your tiered per-sq-ft rates. Multi-zone jobs, a slope read on every lead, a website button and a hosted quote page, one flat price with no per-quote fee.
The catch: It is the front of the sale, not the install plan: no roll layout, no seam or cut planning, no material takeoff. The number is a range to be confirmed at the consultation, not a fixed bid.
See the full product →Best for: Multi-trade install companies — fencing, decking, turf — who want one self-quoting tool across every trade they sell.
Strong at: An established self-quoting funnel: the customer finds the property, draws the project and is sent an instant budget. No contracts, and turf companies are one of the trades it lists.
The catch: More than twice the monthly price, and it is built as a multi-trade tool rather than around turf pricing.
mySalesman, side by side →Best for: Installers who close at the first visit and want the drawing, the material list and the proposal done before they leave the property.
Strong at: Draw the turf layout on a mobile device and it calculates turf rolls, soil and infill, then sends the proposal on the spot. It also captures elevation changes across the yard — a proper install document, which MeasureTurf is not.
The catch: Priced per user, and it starts once you are already at the property — it does not sit on your website pricing the inquiry for you.
Best for: Crews who want to cut roll waste: seam placement, cut plans and material takeoffs straight from the design.
Strong at: Flooring-grade roll logic applied to turf — calculates turf rolls, sod, infill and soil, generates takeoffs from the design, and with Moasure sets seam locations and optimizes cut plans to reduce roll waste.
The catch: An estimator’s tool, not a customer’s: nothing on its turf page offers a website quote or lead capture, and it measures from site data rather than satellite.
Best for: Installers measuring awkward, sloped or tree-covered yards where satellite cannot see the ground.
Strong at: Motion-based measuring that captures perimeter, area, elevation and volume as you walk — true surface area on a slope, and it feeds ArcSite or Measure Square for the cut plan.
The catch: Somebody has to be standing in the yard. It measures the job you have already driven to; it does not price the ones you have not.
Best for: Home-service companies who want estimates, invoicing, scheduling and payments in one app, with measuring as one feature among many.
Strong at: A broad field-service platform — estimates, invoicing, scheduling and payments — with MapMeasure Pro for square and linear footage from satellite, and an InstaQuote self-quoting widget on its upper plans.
The catch: Satellite measuring is not in the entry plan, and the customer-facing quote widget sits on the $299/mo tier. General home-service software, not turf-specific pricing.

* Fair use. Normal quoting is never capped — a busy installer will not come close. We apply a high per-account daily ceiling to protect the service from automated and abusive traffic, and we reserve the right to adjust limits. See the Pro Partner Terms.
