PropertyIntel alternative: landscape measuring software with pricing, proposals and e-sign
PropertyIntel is Aspire's measurement and takeoff product, built for enterprise landscape companies that estimate hundreds of properties and run Aspire for the rest of the business. If you are a residential or light commercial contractor who wants to measure a property from satellite, price it from your own rates and send a proposal the client signs online, Landscapeestimating does that in one flow, with published plans from $129 a month and no operations platform to buy first.
Why look
Where PropertyIntel fits and where it does not.
Why landscapers look for a PropertyIntel alternative
PropertyIntel is a serious product. Aspire describes it as AI measurement and estimating software for enterprise landscaping companies, with high-resolution aerial imagery, ProMaps AI that outlines asphalt, concrete and building footprints, AI-assisted PDF takeoffs, GPS-pinned reference maps and visual proposals with color-coded site maps. It is also the official home of former Go iLawn accounts, which were moved into PropertyIntel by February 28, 2025.
The questions we hear from contractors shopping it are usually about fit, not quality.
- Price is not published. PropertyIntel sells Essential, Advanced and Enterprise tiers, and the product page asks you to request a quote. A three-person maintenance company can't compare it at a glance.
- It leans on Aspire. Estimating ties into Aspire pricing. If you run Jobber, LMN, QuickBooks alone or a spreadsheet, you get less of the value.
- It is built for scale. Branch management, SSO and unlimited users on the top tier are useful at 20 estimators. At two, they are overhead.
- The job after the measurement. Most small companies need the measured area to become a price, a margin and a signed proposal in the same sitting, from the truck or at the kitchen table.
If you run Aspire across several branches, PropertyIntel is probably the right answer and this page will tell you so. If you don't, keep reading.

| Done-for-you measuring | Yes, PI Complete service | No, you trace (a few minutes on a residential lot) |
| Where the price comes from | Time, material and cost estimates tied to Aspire pricing | Your cost library: materials, labor rates, production rates, overhead and target margin |

Where PropertyIntel wins: PDF takeoffs from construction plans, AI auto-detection of large paved areas, a done-for-you drawing service and native Aspire estimating. If you bid parking lots for snow and sweeping across a portfolio of commercial sites, those matter. Where we win: a price you can see before a sales call, a cost library that turns every traced square foot into labor hours and margin, and a signed proposal without a second system.
How it works
From a US address to a signed proposal.
How to measure and price a property without PropertyIntel
If you have used any aerial measuring tool, the first half will feel familiar. The second half is what makes it an estimate.
Try it on a sample property in the yard measurement tool with no account, or see a full landscaping estimate example.
- Search the US address and zoom in on current satellite imagery
- Trace turf, mulch beds, sod, pavers and edging; square feet and linear feet calculate as you draw
- Each layer prices from your cost library with your production rates, crew rate and target margin
- Add recurring lines with visit counts for mowing and treatments, or one-time lines for installs
- Send a branded proposal with good / better / best options; the client signs online and the signed estimate becomes the job budget
Example
What a traced property turns into.
Example: a half-acre maintenance bid priced from satellite
Take a suburban property with about 14,200 sq ft of turf, 1,850 sq ft of mulch beds and 610 linear ft of bed edge. In Landscapeestimating you trace the three layers once. Mowing prices from your mowing production rate on the turf area, with 28 visits per season. Spring mulch prices from the bed area at your chosen depth, converted to cubic yards with your waste factor. Edging prices from the linear feet. The proposal shows the seasonal maintenance total and the mulch as a separate option, and your margin on each line is visible before you send it.
Next spring you open the same property, the layers are still there, and you rebid in a minute with this year's rates. That rebid loop is where most maintenance companies save the hours they used to spend driving out with a wheel.
| Layer | Quantity | Priced by |
|---|---|---|
| Turf | 14,200 sq ft | Mowing production rate x 28 visits |
| Mulch beds | 1,850 sq ft | Depth to cubic yards, material + install rate |
| Bed edge | 610 linear ft | Edging production rate |
Fit
Who picks each tool.
Who should choose PropertyIntel, and who should choose Landscapeestimating
Choose PropertyIntel if you already run Aspire, estimate large commercial portfolios, need PDF takeoffs from site plans, or want someone else to draw the measurements. It is also the only route that carries old Go iLawn projects across, which our Go iLawn alternative page covers in detail.
Choose Landscapeestimating if you are an owner-operator or a company with a few estimators who wants to measure, price and close the job the same day, and wants to know the monthly cost before talking to anyone. It fits maintenance routes that rebid every spring, design-build firms that need landscape takeoff quantities for installs, and irrigation contractors pricing zones with our irrigation estimating software. If you are weighing the whole Aspire platform, not only PropertyIntel, read the Aspire alternative comparison.
- Owner-operators and small crews who price their own jobs
- Maintenance companies rebidding recurring properties each season
- Design-build and install contractors who need bed, sod and paver quantities
FAQ
- What is PropertyIntel used for?
PropertyIntel is used by landscape companies to measure properties from aerial imagery, run takeoffs from PDF plans and build estimates and visual proposals. It is sold by Aspire, integrates with Aspire pricing and is aimed at enterprise landscapers who estimate many properties across branches.
- How much does PropertyIntel cost?
Aspire does not publish PropertyIntel prices. It sells three tiers (Essential for one user, Advanced for five users with AI tools, and Enterprise with unlimited users, branch management and SSO) and quotes each on request. Landscapeestimating publishes its plans: $129, $299 and $649 a month.
- Is PropertyIntel the same as Go iLawn?
PropertyIntel is Go iLawn's successor. Go iLawn stopped selling new subscriptions, accounts were migrated into PropertyIntel by February 28, 2025, and goilawn.com now redirects to Aspire's PropertyIntel page. PropertyIntel adds AI detection, PDF takeoffs and Aspire estimating on top of aerial measuring.
- Do I need Aspire to use PropertyIntel?
Aspire presents PropertyIntel as part of its platform, and its estimating ties into Aspire pricing. Check with Aspire whether a standalone PropertyIntel subscription fits your setup. Landscapeestimating works on its own and exports to QuickBooks Online or CSV, so it sits next to whatever you already run.
- What is the best alternative to PropertyIntel for a small landscaping company?
For a small company that prices its own jobs, the best alternative is a tool that measures and prices in one step. Landscapeestimating traces the property, prices it from your cost library and sends an e-sign proposal. SiteRecon and Attentive.ai suit larger commercial takeoffs, and Deep Lawn suits lawn treatment sold online.
- Can I measure commercial properties with Landscapeestimating?
Yes, for turf, beds, hardscape and edging on light commercial sites, split into zones for larger bids. For very large portfolios, parking lot striping or PDF plan takeoffs, PropertyIntel, SiteRecon or Attentive.ai are built for that work. See our landscape bidding software for commercial bids.
