JobVivi vs GorillaDesk

Per-route pricing that multiplies with your fleet. Pricing verified July 2026.

JobVivivsGorillaDesk
The Short Version

GorillaDesk charges $49–149 per route per month — every technician with a schedule is a route. The features small teams want (portal, e-signing, QuickBooks) sit in the $99+ tiers. JobVivi includes them all at $59/mo flat.

GorillaDesk built a loyal following in pest control, and its per-route pricing model — office staff free, each scheduled technician a paid "route" — is honest and easy to grasp. Basic is $49 per route, Pro $99, Growth $149.

The catch is arithmetic. Three techs on Pro is $297/mo. And the features growing businesses actually need — the customer portal, online booking, e-signatures, GPS tracking, QuickBooks sync — start at the $99 Pro tier, not Basic. The moment you have a second truck, the "affordable" option isn't.

JobVivi doesn't count routes. Pro is $59/mo with five users included and $5 per additional user, whether they run a schedule or answer phones — with the portal, e-signing, route optimization, and QuickBooks sync all in the box.

Where GorillaDesk genuinely shines

Pest control and pool route operators whose whole business is recurring routes.

  • Deep pest-control tooling: material tracking, device barcoding, compliance-friendly service records.
  • Unlimited free office users — only scheduled routes cost money.
  • Free data migration and a well-liked support team.

Where the math breaks down

  • Costs scale linearly with every technician you put on a schedule.
  • Customer portal, e-signatures, and QuickBooks sync require the $99/route Pro tier.
  • Built around recurring-route verticals; less natural for project-style work like handyman or remodeling jobs.

Switching is an afternoon, not a project

1

Export your customers

Download your client list from GorillaDesk as a CSV and import it into JobVivi — names, addresses, phones, and emails come across.

2

Reconnect your integrations

Link QuickBooks Online, Google Calendar and Contacts, and your payment processor. Each takes a couple of minutes.

3

Flip on your automations

Estimate follow-ups, auto-invoicing, auto-sending, and payment reminders are switches, not setups.

4

Invite the crew

Employee seats are $5/mo with the mobile app included — assigned jobs, clock-in/out, photos, and messaging.

Bottom line

For a single-route pest operator, GorillaDesk Basic is fair value. The moment you add trucks, per-route pricing turns against you — three technicians with the portal costs five times what JobVivi charges for the same outcome.

Common questions

How is JobVivi priced differently from GorillaDesk?

GorillaDesk charges per route: each technician with a schedule is $49–149/mo depending on tier. JobVivi Pro is a flat $59/mo including five users, with extra users at $5/mo — pricing doesn't multiply with your fleet.

Does JobVivi work for pest control businesses?

Yes — recurring jobs, route optimization, crew assignments, before/after photos, invoicing, and automated reminders cover the pest workflow. GorillaDesk goes deeper on chemical/material compliance logs, which matter in some states.

Does JobVivi include a customer portal at the base price?

The portal is part of the $59/mo Pro plan — customers pay invoices, approve estimates, view schedules, and request services with no login. GorillaDesk's portal requires its $99/route Pro tier.
