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

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

Does JobVivi work for pest control businesses?

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.
