## Ways to pay less

- **One month free with yearly billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page offers a month free for paying yearly; the whole year is billed at the start of the subscription. Source: https://gorilladesk.com/pricing/

## Key features

- **Scheduling and routing:** Jobs appear as pins on a map and Basic orders up to 25 stops at a time; Pro routes with real street drive times and Growth suggests the best open slot.
- **Invoices, estimates and work orders:** Automated invoices with flexible frequencies, estimates and work orders; Pro adds subscription billing through Square or Stripe and e-signatures.
- **Chemical and device tracking:** Record material and chemical use for reports on every plan, and from Pro barcode traps and devices at commercial sites and track trends.
- **Automated reminders:** Appointment confirmations, reminders and late-payment notices go out by email and text automatically, and broadcasts reach everyone on a day's calendar.
- **Booking, portal and reviews:** From Pro, customers book from your website, manage their account in a portal and get asked for reviews after the visit.
- **Sales pipeline on Growth:** Growth adds lead stages, sales opportunities with close dates, pipeline reports and estimate packages with required and optional items.

## Good for

- Pest control companies that must keep chemical use records
- Lawn care and pool route businesses with recurring visits
- Teams with many office or ride-along users who should not need paid seats

## Worth knowing

- Price is per route schedule: extra routes cost $50 a month each on Pro and Growth, and $50 then $30 each on Basic.
- 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. GorillaDesk is made for pest control, lawn and pool routes, with chemical use records, route planning and automatic reminders, and office and crew logins cost nothing. You pay per route instead: three techs on their own routes pay $149 a month on Basic, and texting costs extra.

- **Value for money: C.** You pay per route, not per person. Three techs each running a route pay $149 a month on Basic ($49 plus $50 for each of two more), billed monthly, with a month free if you pay yearly. A crew riding together pays $49. That's mid-pack here.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 14-day free trial, the usual length here. No free plan.
- **Features: B.** Map-based scheduling and routing, invoices, estimates, work orders, chemical and material records, automatic reminders, and from Pro online booking, a customer portal and subscription billing. The whole job for route businesses, plus pest control records.
- **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record for it. Booking, the customer portal and QuickBooks sync need Pro, and texting needs its own number and credits, so there's some setting up.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks Online, Stripe, Square and Zapier, and an API from Pro. No desktop app.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of GorillaDesk you could make: job scheduling, invoicing, quotes and estimates, appointment booking and review collection. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $588 a year.

- You could make: Job scheduling, invoicing, quotes and estimates, appointment booking and review collection: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, QuickBooks Online, Stripe and Square among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
