Mastiff vs Jobber
Jobber is good generic field-service software — scheduling, quoting, and invoicing for lawn care, cleaning, HVAC, and a hundred other trades. That breadth is exactly the problem: it prices work as visits and line items, and land clearing isn't priced that way. There's no acre-based quoting, no vegetation density classes, no terrain factors, no crew-day math. Outfits famously start on Jobber and outgrow it the first time a drive-by quote calls heavy cedar country a medium-brush job and the work runs three extra days at cost.

The gaps
What Jobber is missing for land clearing companies
No acre-based quoting — Jobber prices visits and line items. Acres × density × intensity is the math this trade runs on, and you end up doing it on paper and typing the total in.
No vegetation density classes. LIGHT, MEDIUM, and HEAVY don't exist in Jobber — and misjudged density is how operators lose money, because $500/acre brush and $3,000/acre cedar country look identical in a line item.
No terrain factors, no crew-day math. A crew-day is $2,500–$4,000 of capacity; software that can't reason about billable days can't tell you whether the month is on track for 14–20 of them.
No consumer directory bringing you land clearing leads — Jobber manages work; it doesn't generate any.
No before/after content engine — the #1 ad format in this trade is a thicket turned into a park, and Jobber has nowhere to put it.
Per-user pricing — every operator and office hire is another line on the bill.
