GorillaDesk charges $49-$99/month (Basic and Pro plans). Krib gives you scheduling and all features — with no monthly fee, no per-user fees, and no monthly job caps.
GorillaDesk has earned a strong reputation in pest control, lawn care, and pool service for good reason: its route optimization, recurring service scheduling, and chemical tracking features are purpose-built for those trades. Contractors in these niches often find GorillaDesk's workflow maps directly to their daily operations. The pricing model is per-route ($49-$149/month base, $50 per additional route), which keeps costs predictable for single-route operators but adds up for multi-truck businesses. Krib takes a trade-agnostic approach — it works for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, pest control, and every other home service trade, with no monthly fee. Krib doesn't have GorillaDesk's niche-specific features like chemical usage tracking, but it offers photo evaluations, customer home records, and bilingual support. If you're in pest control or pool service and want purpose-built workflows, GorillaDesk is worth evaluating. If you want a general-purpose platform with no per-route costs, Krib is designed for that.
For most field service contractors, yes. Krib covers quotes, scheduling, invoicing, customer management, and online payments — and works across all home service trades.

All non-payment features — quoting, scheduling, invoicing, team management — are included with no monthly fee.
