Naibrly ResearchLast checked Source figures July 2026
Short answer
Your route, your prices, your customers. On Naibrly you publish what a job costs, choose which jobs join your day, and the homeowner books your company rather than a slot the platform filled.
The fee gap follows from that. LawnStarter's share of a completed job is estimated at 15% to 20%, leaving an estimated $80 to $85 of a $100 job (checked July 2026). Naibrly Core is 5% of each completed job plus $15 a month, which works out to $5.75 a job at 20 jobs a month.

LawnStarter charges on completed work rather than per lead, which is the fairer of the two models: a quote you do not win does not cost you. Based on publicly available information, the platform's share is estimated at 15% to 20% of the job, so an estimated $15 to $20 of a $100 job stays with the platform and you keep an estimated $80 to $85 (checked July 2026).
The percentage is the easy part to compare. The harder question for a lawn business is who sets the price and who holds the customer once the season ends, and that is where the two platforms differ more than the fee does.

Both platforms bill on finished work, so this is the cleanest comparison on the site: one $100 job, and where the money goes. LawnStarter takes an estimated 15% to 20% of it (checked July 2026). Naibrly Core is 5% plus the $15 monthly plan, which comes to $5.75 a job at 20 jobs a month.
Where a $100 job goes
LawnStarter
$15 to $20 to the platform, $80 to $85 to you
Bar drawn at the 17.5% midpoint of the estimated range, the same figure the break-even below uses.
Naibrly Core
$5.75 to the platform, $94.25 to you
Core costs less per job from 2 jobs a month upward. Below that, the $15 plan is spread across too little work and LawnStarter is the cheaper of the two. That volume is the honest answer to which one costs less.

Yes, and for most pros that is the practical answer rather than switching everything at once. Naibrly is live in Phoenix and expanding, so LawnStarter still reaches homeowners we cannot reach for you yet. Here is how the two fit together.

All LawnStarter figures on this page are based on publicly available information, checked July 2026. Pricing is U.S. focused. Commission terms vary by market, service category and job size, and are not always published, so the range is presented as an estimate. LawnStarter does not publish a single provider commission, so the range above is compiled from provider-reported figures and market benchmarks rather than from a published rate. Confidence in it is lower than for platforms that publish their terms.
Platforms can change prices, credits, required fees, membership terms and provider payouts at any time. Before relying on a comparison, verify the current quote for your city and service category. Naibrly is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LawnStarter. Platform names are used only to identify the services being compared.
