Is MotionOps a good alternative to Aspire?
For many contractors, yes. Aspire is a deep platform for landscape, snow, and janitorial companies from about $1M in revenue up. MotionOps covers scheduling, change orders with signatures, job costing, HR, and payroll prep for any trade, with published pricing and a 14-day free trial. If you run a large landscape operation with heavy purchasing and inventory, Aspire may fit better.
How much does Aspire cost compared with MotionOps?
Aspire doesn't publish prices. Its Growth, Corporate, and Enterprise plans are quoted by sales based on company revenue, with unlimited users and a contract required; payments, payroll services, and GPS fleet are quoted extra. MotionOps publishes every plan: Solo $39/mo, Go $119/mo for up to 5 users, and Scale $199/mo for 5 users, billed annually.
Does Aspire sync with QuickBooks Online?
Yes. Aspire syncs deposits and purchase receipts with QuickBooks Online, and also supports QuickBooks Desktop and Acumatica, but it doesn't sync invoices. MotionOps syncs customers, invoices, and payments with QuickBooks Online on every plan, and reconciles automatically when you use MotionOps Online Payments.
Is Aspire only for landscaping?
Aspire is built for landscape maintenance and construction, snow and ice, and janitorial and commercial cleaning companies. MotionOps isn't tied to one industry: it runs crews, jobs, and payroll prep for contractors in any trade.
What does MotionOps have that Aspire doesn't?
Day-off requests and approvals on the schedule, a new customer signature on every change order, estimates and invoices inside the mobile app, and automated invoice reminders. It also has published pricing and a 14-day free trial; Aspire is quote-only, demo only, and requires a contract.
Who should stay on Aspire?
Landscape, snow, and janitorial companies with multiple branches, heavy purchasing and inventory, and a team ready for a guided rollout. Aspire's job costing with purchase orders and approvals, certification checks on the schedule, and implementation included in the fee are built for that.
Does Aspire offer a free trial?
No. Aspire offers a demo only; its sibling product for smaller businesses, Crew Control, has a 14-day trial. MotionOps has a 14-day free trial, and you can also book a demo first to see how it handles your crews and project types.
Is it hard to switch from Aspire to MotionOps?
No. MotionOps is easy to set up and use from day one, with no steep learning curve. Every account gets a free onboarding session and phone support with real people, and larger teams get white-glove onboarding plus a customer success program. You can try it first with a 14-day free trial before moving anything over.
Can I change the plan?
UPGRADE: You can upgrade anytime. For monthly plans, the new price starts right away. If you choose annual plans, the total amount is charged upfront upon signing up as a client and is non-refundable if you cancel before the year is complete.
DOWNGRADE: For monthly plans, downgrades start with your next billing cycle. For example, if you signed up on the 1st of the month and requested a downgrade on the 15th, the new pricing will apply beginning on the 1st of the following month.
Does MotionOps offer a mobile app? Is there an additional cost for it?
Yes, MotionOps has a mobile app with no additional charge. This app has a variety of features that allow you to manage your MotionOps account through your smartphone or tablet. With the app, you can monitor your workers' activities, keep track of their progress, and stay up-to-date on your project management tasks. The mobile app is designed to be user-friendly, intuitive, and easy to use, making it an excellent tool for managing your business even while you're on the go.
