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

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

Pick LMN if

• Fits if you run a landscape company and want each job priced from your own costs
• Works for firms that invoice and take payment through one tool

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are small: $297 a month is six times the category's middle price
• Not for you if you want a trial, since none is on record
• Skip it if you also do tree care, as the same company sells SingleOps separately for that
• Watch out: prices include a set number of licences, extra licences cost more, and a one-time onboarding fee is added
• Watch out: Enterprise pricing is sales-only

GorillaDesk

• Price is per route schedule: extra routes cost $50 a month each on Pro; Basic adds $50 then $30, and Growth $100, then $50, with 5 routes at $499.
• 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.
• A yearly subscription is billed in full up front; monthly plans can be cancelled or frozen at any time.

LMN

• Prices are starting prices that include a set number of licenses; extra licenses are charged separately.
• The pricing page notes a one-time onboarding fee on the listed prices; its amount is not shown.
• Enterprise pricing is available through sales only.
• LMN is landscaping-specific; the same company's SingleOps covers tree care and is sold separately.
