FieldRoutes vs GorillaDesk (2026): which should you pick?

Pick FieldRoutes if

• Fits if you run recurring routes for pest or lawn customers and want them auto-planned
• Works for firms already using ServiceTitan marketing or fleet products

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need a price, because both packages say Request Pricing
• Not for you if you want a self-serve trial, as there isn't one
• Too light for quoting and job costing, which the listing doesn't show
• Watch out: the pages we read don't say which phones the mobile app runs on

Pick GorillaDesk if

• Fits if you run pest control and need chemical use records for every visit
• Works for lawn care and pool businesses with the same stops every week

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you text customers a lot, as it's $5 a month for a number plus credits from $50
• Tight if you need online booking or QuickBooks sync, which start on Pro at $99 a route
• Not for you if each tech runs a separate route and money's tight: routes two and three add $50 each on Basic, and on Growth route two alone adds $100
• Watch out: Basic routes up to 25 stops, and a yearly plan is billed in full at the start
• Skip it if you want a desktop app, as it's web, iPhone and Android only

FieldRoutes

• No prices are published: the Growth and Corporate packages both say Request Pricing.

• Texting costs extra: $5 a month for a local number, plus credits from $50 for 1,000 messages.
• Online booking, the customer portal, QuickBooks Online sync, Zapier and the API need Pro or Growth.
