In development. PestRouteDesk is not live yet. Everything below describes what we are building for 1-5 technician shops; screens are not shown until they exist. Founding members get $49/mo, locked, and a say in what ships first. What exists today.
Billing features planned
| Feature | Pain it solves | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Invoice on service completion | Invoices written days after the visit | Planned - first release |
| Card-on-file autopay | Chasing checks for $100-$150 quarterly visits | Planned - first release (processor TBD) |
| Annual prepay with visit ledger | Tracking which prepaid visits are used | Planned |
| Initial + recurring price per agreement | Remembering who paid an initial and who did not | Planned |
| Failed-payment retry and reminders | Silent churn from expired cards | Planned |
| QuickBooks Online sync | Double entry into accounting | Planned |
The math behind autopay
HomeAdvisor’s consumer guide puts quarterly pest service at $100-$300 per visit and monthly at $40-$70 per visit (updated June 2026). At 400 quarterly accounts that is 1,600 invoices a year. If even 5% need a second reminder, that is 80 follow-ups - and every one is a customer deciding whether to keep the service. Autopay turns the invoice into a receipt.

Frequently asked questions
Which payment processor will you use?
Not decided. We will publish processing rates on the pricing page before anyone is asked to pay. Tell us on the form if you already use a processor you want to keep.
Can customers pay annually up front?
Annual prepay with a ledger of used and remaining visits is on the plan.
Do I need QuickBooks?
No. QuickBooks Online sync is planned for shops that already use it; invoices and payments live in PestRouteDesk either way.
