GroundCut vs SingleOps FAQs

When should I pick SingleOps over GroundCut?+
When your business has outgrown lawn care. If you’re running design-build projects, irrigation installs, tree care, and snow alongside maintenance — and your office has multiple full-time admins running estimating, scheduling, and accounting — SingleOps’ depth justifies its cost and onboarding burden. If you’re running residential mowing routes with a small crew, that depth is overhead.
Can GroundCut grow with my business?+
Up to a point. The plan has unlimited team members and supports the operational scale most lawn-only businesses ever reach — thousands of recurring customers, dozens of crew members, multiple service types — at the same $99/mo. Where GroundCut intentionally stops is multi-division work (no irrigation modules, no design-build estimating, no project-based job costing). If those become a meaningful share of your revenue, SingleOps or a similar enterprise tool is a better fit.
Why is GroundCut so much cheaper than SingleOps?+
Three reasons. First, focus: lawn-care-only software has a smaller surface area to build and support. Second, self-serve onboarding: no implementation team to staff. Third, modern infrastructure: the app is a single Next.js codebase on Vercel with Supabase, not a layered legacy stack. The savings flow to the price.
Does GroundCut have job costing like SingleOps?+
It has the basics. Each job tracks estimated vs actual time, fuel cost (from drive miles + MPG), labor cost (from each user’s hourly rate), and equipment cost (from per-equipment hourly rates). The /admin/jobs view shows net profit per job. What it doesn’t have is multi-job project rollup, accrual-basis accounting, or equipment depreciation schedules — those live in SingleOps.
Is GroundCut secure enough for a multi-million-dollar business?+
Yes. Tenant data is isolated at the database level with Postgres Row-Level Security — every query against tenanted tables enforces tenant_id matching the calling user. Stripe webhooks are HMAC-verified, Resend uses Svix signature verification, Twilio requests are validated. QuickBooks OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest with pgsodium. The full security model is documented in our as-built reference. Most enterprise procurement teams will recognize the architecture.
