How to Decide
Choose GorillaDesk when:
When your pest control business runs dense daily routes and sells recurring treatment subscriptions.
Choose Jobber when:
When your pest control business mixes route work with general service jobs and wants one generalist platform.
Critical question to ask yourself:
“How many stops does each tech run per day? The denser the routes, the more the specialist pays off.”
