Six Things to Check Before You Pick
Each one is money on the bid. For the bid itself, measured, timed and priced, read how to bid snow removal jobs.
1 of 6
It measures the lot without a drive-out
Commercial snow bids go out in the fall, for lots you have never stood on. A tool that measures from satellite lets you bid the whole route from the office, and the islands you plow around come off the area.
SurfaceMeasure traces the lot by address, in up to 20 sections, with cutouts for islands and buildings.
2 of 6
Every depth gets its own price
A flat push price loses money every time a storm runs deep. You want a price for each band, worked out from how long your machine takes on that lot, and an hourly rate for anything deeper.
SurfaceMeasure prices a push for every band up to 12 inches from your hourly rate, machine and minimum, then bills by the hour.
3 of 6
Salt is its own line
Salt is often the bigger number over a season, and property managers compare it line by line. Folded into the push, it is a price you cannot defend.
SurfaceMeasure prices salt per application from your rate per acre, on its own line.
4 of 6
The season adds up in front of them
Most commercial customers sign a season. Showing the visits and the total next to the per-push lines lets them check your arithmetic instead of calling you about it.
SurfaceMeasure shows a season total for the number of visits you set, with the visits and depth it assumes printed under it.
5 of 6
A quote they can accept from a phone
The contractor whose bid is easiest to approve gets the lot. A branded sheet with an Accept button beats a number in a text.
SurfaceMeasure sends a branded PDF, or a link with your logo that the customer accepts online.
6 of 6
Routes, crews and proof of service
Dispatch, GPS, photos and invoicing are the job after the bid. Some outfits want one app for all of it; others already run it.
SurfaceMeasure does none of that; it saves every job. For routes and invoicing look at QuoteIQ or Jobber, and for proof of service, Yeti.

Which One Fits Your Snow Work
Bidding commercial lots before the first storm
SurfaceMeasure
Measure the lot from the office, get a push for every depth, salt and the season from your own rates, and send a quote the property manager accepts from a phone. It sits beside whatever runs your office.
Routes, crews and billing in one app
QuoteIQ or Jobber
QuoteIQ has a snow page, satellite measuring from $99.99/mo and route optimization on its top two tiers. Jobber Core is $49/mo and lists no measuring tool, so pair it with one.
A landscape company that also plows
LMN or Aspire
Estimates built from labor and material costs, inside the software that runs the rest of the year. LMN starts at $297/mo plus onboarding; Aspire quotes by company size.
Proving every visit to the property manager
Yeti Software
GPS, photos and timestamps on every visit, ready for a claim or a dispute, from $66.50/mo billed annually. It does not list estimating, so the bid is done elsewhere.
Measuring a large portfolio for an RFP
SiteRecon
AI measurement priced by the acre on top of a plan from $39/mo. Its pricing page describes no snow pricing.
What SurfaceMeasure does for a snow contractor, from the traced lot to the sheet the customer opens, is on SurfaceMeasure for snow contractors.
Snow Software Questions
It depends on the job you need done. To measure commercial lots from satellite and send a per-push quote the same night, without changing the software you run the business on, SurfaceMeasure. To run routes, crews and invoicing in one app, QuoteIQ or Jobber. For cost-based estimates in a landscape company that also plows, LMN or Aspire. To prove every visit with GPS, photos and timestamps, Yeti. Prices and features were read off each vendor's own site on 15 October 2026.
SurfaceMeasure and QuoteIQ trace the lot on satellite imagery; QuoteIQ's MapMeasure Pro starts on its Beginner tier at $99.99/mo.

Jobber, Yeti and SiteRecon do not describe depth pricing on the pages we read.
