Pest control, lawn care, and pool service businesses that run route-based operations and want software built specifically for recurring service routes.
Local service businesses (HVAC, plumbing, cleaning, landscaping, auto repair, and more) with 1–20 employees who want a single unified platform for scheduling, CRM, invoicing, and customer marketing — without paying for 5 separate tools.
GorillaDesk is primarily designed for pest control, lawn care, and pool service businesses. Its route-based model works well for those verticals but is limited for businesses that do one-off jobs, emergency dispatch, or complex project work.
GorillaDesk has deep pest control-specific features like chemical tracking and route optimization. Ops-Deck covers the core use case (scheduling, invoicing, CRM, recurring services) and also works for other verticals if you expand your service offerings.
GorillaDesk starts at $49/month (1 route) and scales to $149+/month. Ops-Deck is $99/month flat with unlimited users and jobs. For growing teams, Ops-Deck often costs the same or less with significantly more features.
GorillaDesk has customer profiles and service history. It doesn't have a sales pipeline CRM with lead stages, follow-up automation, or marketing campaigns. Ops-Deck includes a full CRM alongside scheduling and route management.
Ops-Deck includes a full CRM pipeline, multi-channel marketing automation, business analytics dashboard, and broader industry support beyond pest control. It's designed for service businesses that want to grow without switching platforms.
