Bottom line: Neither platform publishes a comparable all-in total — we do not treat software-only or quote-only figures as cheapest. GorillaDesk skews residential; FieldRoutes skews mixed. Card fees use a documented mix (55% in-person, 30% online, 15% Amex/keyed) on $42,000 card volume — adjust in the calculator for your shop.

GorillaDesk vs FieldRoutes: how to choose

GorillaDesk and FieldRoutes both serve route-based pest and lawn companies; the split is published price versus customer-count pricing. GorillaDesk publishes per-route plans and lists recurring scheduling and a mobile app. FieldRoutes is quote-only, priced on active customers, and lists route optimization. If you are still on a handful of routes and want a published software number, GorillaDesk publishes that; if you are scaling a dense recurring book billed on customers, FieldRoutes is that quote-only model. The cost table on this page is most useful at your current and projected customer count, because FieldRoutes' bill moves with the book, not the headcount.
