Pest control software
Last reviewed: September 2026
For small pest control companies, Simple handles recurring service-plan billing, scheduling, dispatch and service checklists at 2.19% in person and 2.79% online. It does not do state chemical-use reporting or bait station tracking, so compliance-heavy companies should use FieldRoutes, PestPac or GorillaDesk.
Competitor pricing last reviewed September 2026. Published rates change; check the vendor's current pricing page: GorillaDesk pricing, FieldRoutes pricing, PestPac pricing, Briostack pricing, Jobber pricing, Housecall Pro pricing.
What can't Simple do for a pest control company?
Start here, because it decides the rest. Simple does not file EPA or state chemical-use reports, does not track bait stations, and does not manage termite warranties. If your state requires application records per visit, or you run Sentricon or bait programs, you need dedicated pest control business software.
What Simple does do well is the money side of a general pest route: quarterly service plans billed automatically, techs dispatched on a live map with route optimization, and a service checklist with photo evidence on each visit.
Do FieldRoutes, PestPac and GorillaDesk publish pricing?
Mostly not. Of the dedicated tools, only GorillaDesk pricing is published. FieldRoutes pricing and PestPac pricing are quote only.

What does a quarterly service plan book pay in card fees?
Consider a book doing $25,000 a month at a $120 average visit, with 80% on autopay or invoice and 20% paid in person.
Simple: $5,000 x 2.19% + $20,000 x 2.79% = $667.50/mo, $8,010/yr
Jobber: $5,000 x 2.7% + 42 x $0.30 + $20,000 x 2.9% + 167 x $0.30 = $777.70/mo, $9,332/yr
Housecall Pro: $5,000 x 2.59% + $20,000 x 2.99% = $727.50/mo, $8,730/yr
How does automatic service-plan billing work in Simple?
Set up recurring billing once per customer: quarterly, monthly or bimonthly. Simple sends the invoice with a payment link on schedule, or charges the saved card. Those charges are card-not-present at 2.79%. Callbacks paid on the truck with the card reader run at 2.19%. The employee scheduler and dispatch board, both on Medium ($199/mo), plan the route.
Which pest control software fits which operator?
- Simple is best for small general pest operators focused on recurring service plans and low card fees.
- GorillaDesk is best for small pest operators who need chemical use records at a low monthly price.
- FieldRoutes is best for mid to large pest companies with Sentricon and heavy compliance reporting.
Who should choose FieldRoutes, PestPac or GorillaDesk instead?
Anyone filing state chemical-use reports, tracking bait stations, or managing termite warranties. That covers most termite work and many commercial accounts. For those companies a general platform is the wrong tool. For everyone else, compare the general options in the field service software guide.
