Where each one wins
The honest tradeoffs.
GorillaDesk
- Mature mobile app with real-time GPS, route building, on-site invoicing, and signature capture.
- Bigger user community, more tutorials, templates, Facebook groups, and YouTube walkthroughs.
- Free trial — sign up and click around before talking to anyone.
- Better fit if someone in your shop owns the software and wants deep config to play with.
Tradework Labs
- Owner stays on the truck — we set it up, train the AI, and tune it monthly.
- One flat $187/mo covers AI front desk, CRM, follow-ups, and review automation.
- Per-route pricing punishes growth; we're flat regardless of how many techs you hire.
- We migrate your full history (jobs, treatment, warranties), not just contacts.
- AI is trained on pest specifics — termite vs liquid, WDO urgency, quarterly tiers.
- A real person tuning the bot with you every month, not a help desk queue.
