GorillaDesk is the better choice for pest control companies, because it tracks chemicals, devices and treatment records that pest work needs, and it is priced for crews under about ten techs. Jobber is the better choice if pest control is only part of what you do and you also run lawn, cleaning or general home service jobs.
GorillaDesk’s plans start around $49 a month and top out around $149 for its larger tier, with annual discounts. Jobber starts around $29 a month billed annually and rises with users and automations.
For a two to five tech pest operation, the two land in a similar range, so features should decide.
