Where TreePlotter is strong, and where we fit.

TreePlotter is the enterprise GIS-grade option, used by councils and large public-sector tree managers across the US, UK, and Australia. The inventory model is comprehensive; the integration with ArcGIS and council asset systems is genuinely deep.

The trade-off is the buying motion. There’s no published pricing, no self-service trial, no path to onboard a 2-person consulting practice in an afternoon. The capture flow is form-based; voice and AI report drafting aren’t part of the product.

Where tree·canopy fits

If you’re a council or large team and need full enterprise GIS, TreePlotter is the credible option. If you’re a small firm or consultancy that wants voice capture and an AI-drafted report without a six-week procurement process, tree·canopy is the shorter line.
