GorillaDesk vs PestPac (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 PestPac if

• Fits if you run a pest control company with routes to plan and work orders to track
• Works for firms that keep their books in QuickBooks

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price, because none is published
• Not for you if you want a trial, as none is on record
• Not for you if you run lawn care, as WorkWave sells RealGreen separately for that
• Watch out: the page doesn't state a plan structure, so you can't tell what is included until a sales call

GorillaDesk
