The 2026 Snow Removal Market ([IBISWorld](https://www.ibisworld.com/united-states/industry/moving-services/1117/))
The US snowplowing services industry generated $23.0 billion in revenue in 2026 across 114,000 contractor businesses, growing at a 4.3% CAGR over the past five years (IBISWorld 2026). Snow removal is unique among trades: revenue is highly dependent on unpredictable weather, with climate change leading to warmer winters and more extreme storm events. The volatility means commercial contracts (seasonal flat-rate) drive operator stability while per-storm residential pricing captures upside.
Typical residential pricing: per-storm at $30-$75 per driveway (1-3 inches), $75-$200+ for heavy storms (6+ inches), with seasonal contracts at $300-$800 for the full winter. Commercial contracts (HOAs, retail parking lots, medical complexes) price per storm event at $200-$2,500 depending on lot size and salt requirements. The platform's storm-day AI voice intake (handling the 100+ calls that hit during a snow event) + route optimization is the lever.

If that number beats the plan price, the software is worth it.
