GorillaDesk Alternative — When You Need More From Your Pest control Software

GorillaDesk is a popular choice for pest control and lawn care companies, especially smaller operations. It covers the basics well — scheduling, invoicing, and basic customer management. But as your business grows, you start to hit limits around CRM depth and reporting flexibility. That's where PestPro CRM picks up.

Where PestPro CRM Has the Edge

Deeper Customer Relationship Management

GorillaDesk gives you a basic customer record — name, address, service history. That works when you have 50 customers. But at 500 or 1,000+ customers, you need more than a digital Rolodex.

PestPro CRM gives you CRM tools built for pest control — detailed property-level profiles, pest history tracking, construction type, access points, and service-specific information. It's the difference between a generic contact list and a CRM that actually understandspest control operations.

Advanced Reporting

GorillaDesk offers basic reporting — revenue summaries, job counts, and similar out-of-the-box reports. If you need something custom, you are out of luck.

PestPro CRM gives you predefined reports and data export capabilities. Track the metrics that matter to your business and export data in the formats you need.

Stripe Payment Links

When a job is done, getting paid should be simple. GorillaDesk handles invoicing, but the process can be tedious at scale.

PestPro CRM integrates with Stripe to let you send payment links directly to customers. Fast, professional payment collection without chasing checks.

Who Might Still Prefer GorillaDesk

GorillaDesk is still a solid choice for certain businesses. If you fit any of these descriptions, it might be the right tool for you:

  • You run a 1-3 technician operation and plan to stay small
  • Your needs are limited to basic scheduling, invoicing, and customer records
  • You are looking for the lowest possible price point
  • You prefer the simplest interface possible and do not need advanced features

But if you are growing past those limits — or you need deeper CRM and better reporting — PestPro CRM is built for what comes next.
