GorillaDesk vs Pocomos (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 Pocomos if

• Fits if you run a pest control company and want billing and routing in one place
• Works for firms that count active customers as they grow, with prices tied to that count

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are tiny: $109 a month covers only 20 active and on-hold customers
• Not for you if you want a trial, as none is on record
• Not for you if you work in other trades, because it is built for pest control
• Watch out: texting is $4 a month plus $0.04 per text, and card processing runs through Zift at interchange plus 1.0%
• Watch out: some connections are optional add-ons with their own prices
