Competitor pricing researched October 2026, from SortScape's public pricing page — figures change, worth re-checking before quoting anyone directly. SortScape's Australian prices are in AUD and exclude GST.
This table isn't a full feature list: SortScape also lists card payments on invoices, a missed-call answering feature and a requests inbox, which aren't compared here.
SortScape is rated 4.9 out of 5 on Capterra (115 reviews) and 4.9 out of 5 on the Xero App Store (91 reviews), as shown on 24 October 2026. Reviewers most often praise how easy it is to use, how quickly support replies and the value for money.
A few reviewers on Capterra say text-message credits run out or don't roll over, that the team-size pricing bands don't suit their exact team, or that the mobile app can be slow on older phones.
Review themes paraphrased from public reviews on Capterra and the Xero App Store, read on 24 October 2026 — individual experiences vary. Kept is new enough not to have a public review history of its own yet, so the only way to know how it holds up is to try it.
For one person on a paid plan, yes: SortScape lists AUD $15 a month for Basic and AUD $29 for Premium, excluding GST, against Kept's paid plans starting at $35/mo + GST. Kept's Free plan costs nothing but is capped at 15 clients and 15 jobs/quotes a month, while SortScape lists a 14-day free trial and no free plan. For bigger teams it depends on team size and plan, so check both pricing pages.
SortScape says it was made exclusively for lawn and garden maintenance businesses. Kept covers lawn care in depth plus cleaning, pressure washing, handyman work and over 20 other trades, all in the same app.
SortScape is worth a trial if you only do lawn and garden maintenance and want what it lists: route optimisation on every plan, chemical tracking and automatic reminders on Premium, and card payments on invoices. Kept is worth a look if you want a free plan with no time limit, or if you also do pressure washing, cleaning or handyman work. Both let you try before you pay, so run a few real jobs through each.
