Orchard and Vineyard Services Invoicing App (2026)
Vineyard and orchard contracting bills per vine, per acre, or per hour depending on the operation, usually across a season of scheduled passes. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) saves all three rate types, itemizes each pass on one invoice, and bills seasonal contracts on a schedule.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the vineyard contractor's real workflow — mixed per-vine, per-acre, and hourly billing across a season of passes — not on winery production or agronomy software.

Frequently asked questions
Per vine or per acre for pruning?
Per vine is the fairer unit because spacing and training systems vary enormously between blocks. Per acre works where you know the block, but per vine is what protects you on an unfamiliar planting.
How should a season contract be billed?
As scheduled invoices tied to each pass — pruning, tying, spraying, hedging, harvest support — rather than one lump at year end. It matches your cash flow to your costs and gives the grower a predictable bill.
Should materials be separate from labor?
Yes. Spray materials, ties, and clips are pass-through costs with volatile prices, and separating them keeps your labor rate stable and easy to compare year to year.
How do I keep records per block?
Log each pass against the customer and block, with dates and rates. Growers plan next season from that history, and being the contractor who can produce it is worth more than being the cheapest.
