SoloOp and SortScape · Australia
A SortScape alternative for an Australian lawn round.
SortScape is built for the same work SoloOp is: mowing rounds, recurring jobs, invoicing from the driveway. The difference is what you pay for it and what sits around the edges.
Free core tools for Australian businesses. Bank Feeds: A$19 a month for 12 months on one of the first 50 founding spots, then A$39. Save a founding spot →
Recorded in SoloOp.
Start with the fit.
SortScape has an enquiry form for your website, quotes clients approve by text, chemical and spray records, an AI receptionist, and syncs with Xero and QuickBooks. If spraying records or the Xero sync matter to you, weigh them. SoloOp keeps the round, the invoices and the client records in a free app, with Bank Feeds as the one paid add-on.
Compare the everyday tools.
SortScape Basic is A$15 a month and Premium is A$29 a month, both excluding GST, for one user; the price rises with each user you add. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial. See SortScape’s Australian plans ↗

SortScape’s prices and plan names were read from its Australian pricing page on 1 November 2026; they exclude introductory offers, and GST treatment is as the vendor states it. Promotions, billing terms, payment fees and add-ons affect the final cost. Check current plans on the SortScape website.
Checked against the app, not the brochure
What SoloOp does for an Australian business.
- Scheduling with Gravity: it suggests the day and slot for a new job, and Optimise route reorders a day as a round trip from home. Recurring jobs run weekly, fortnightly, three-weekly, monthly, six-weekly, bi-monthly, quarterly or six-monthly.
- Rain Mode moves a rained-out day in one go. Auto timers, an offline run sheet and locked start times are all in the free core.
- Quotes with line items and an Accept link, valid for 7, 14 or 30 days if you set it; accepting creates the job. A site visit before the quote is a one-tap $0 visit.
- Invoices carry your BSB and PayID. With a Stripe account connected (free to set up), clients can Pay Now by card, or by PayTo and BECS Direct Debit if you switch cards off, and AutoPay charges the clients who approve it. End of Day sends the day’s invoices in one batch; overdue reminders go out on a schedule.
- Client emails go from your own Gmail or Google Workspace address, invoices with the PDF attached.
- Expense records with a GST toggle, and a CSV bank-statement upload for matching transfers to invoices by hand.
- Mileage in kilometres for the ATO rate, included for Australian businesses today.
- Crews: owner, office and crew logins with no per-user fee; crew never see pay rates or margins.
- A BAS-ready accountant portal. For each quarter, on a cash or accrual basis: G1, 1A, 1B and the net in whole dollars as the form wants them, the full-BAS labels a click away, every paid invoice and every expense with its GST code behind the figures, kilometres at the ATO rate, refunds, and a BAS workpapers CSV. Your accountant can mark the period lodged. They sign in with their email; you can revoke it any time. They still lodge with the ATO.
- A profit and loss in the app that counts crew hours at their pay rate as a cost, with income, expenses and GST by period.
- A client portal for invoices, upcoming jobs, payment history and AutoPay. Clients and their schedules import from CSV, Excel, PDF or photos.
- Bank Feeds (A$19 a month for your first 12 months on one of the first 50 founding spots, then A$39): Osko, PayID and other bank transfers come in from your business account and are matched to your invoices.
Not in SoloOp: a Xero or QuickBooks sync, a website enquiry form, chemical or spray records, or an AI receptionist. If those are part of how you run, keep them in the decision.
Free core. Bank Feeds when you want them.
Scheduling, invoicing, quotes, client records, expense records with a GST toggle and the bank-statement upload stay free. Australian businesses absorb online payment processing fees: cards 1.7% + A$1.30 (A$0.80 fixed under A$50), PayTo and BECS 1% + A$0.80 capped at A$4.00. See the fee examples →
Bank Feeds, which bring Osko, PayID and other bank transfers in and match them to your invoices, are A$19 a month (incl. GST) for the first 12 months for the first 50 Australian businesses to save a card, then A$39 a month, which is also what new subscribers pay after launch. See the founding offer →
