Verdict by shop size

  • Solo operator, under ~150 accounts: a published-price tool with a trial - GorillaDesk Basic or Jobber Core - is the lowest-risk start. Watch GorillaDesk’s 25-stop routing cap on Basic.
  • 2-5 techs, 300-1,500 recurring accounts: pest-specific features (chemical records, recurring cadence) start to matter more than price. Compare GorillaDesk Pro, Pocomos and a FieldRoutes quote.
  • Multi-branch or heavy commercial: PestPac and FieldRoutes are built for this; budget for a demo-and-quote process.

What to check before you switch

  1. Pricing basis. Per route, per user and per active customer give very different bills as you grow. Price your year-2 headcount, not today’s.
  2. Chemical records. Confirm the tool captures every field your state requires on application records - see your state licensing page.
  3. Recurring cadence. Ask how a quarterly account is rescheduled when a rain day moves the route.
  4. WDI forms. If you do real estate inspections, confirm the vendor is an authorized NPMA-33 provider or supports your state’s form - see the NPMA-33 guide.
  5. Data export. Make sure you can export customers, agreements and service history to CSV.

Jobber has a pest control industry page and captures chemicals with EPA registration numbers on jobs. It is a generic field-service tool, so check recurring cadence and state record fields. See Jobber alternatives.
