GorillaDesk vs FieldRoutes: how to choose

By the FieldServiceScout editorial teamIndependently reviewed July 2026

GorillaDesk and FieldRoutes both serve route-based pest and lawn companies, and the split is usually size. GorillaDesk is the budget, published-price option — per-route plans, strong recurring scheduling, and a simple mobile app that a small PCO or lawn shop can run without a sales call. FieldRoutes is the category-leading pest- and lawn-route platform, priced on active customers, with deeper auto-billing and route optimization and a real implementation. If you are still on a handful of routes and want a number you can see, GorillaDesk is the reachable pick; if you are scaling a dense recurring book, FieldRoutes is what the mid-market runs. The cost table above is most useful at your current *and* projected customer count, because FieldRoutes' bill moves with the book, not the headcount.
