GorillaDesk pricing
What 1, 2 and 4 trucks cost
Each GorillaDesk plan includes 1 route. A route is one technician's schedule, and a crew that rides together shares one. Users who are not on a route are free[2]. 4Home Pros Pro is one price for any number of routes and people.
| Trucks (routes) | GorillaDesk Basic | GorillaDesk Pro | GorillaDesk Growth | 4Home Pros |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 truck | $49/mo | $99/mo | $149/mo | Free (up to 50 job sites), or Pro $34.99/mo · $22.92/mo yearly |
| 2 trucks | $99/mo | $149/mo | $249/mo | Free (up to 50 job sites), or Pro $34.99/mo · $22.92/mo yearly |
| 4 trucks | $179/mo | $249/mo | $349/mo | Pro $34.99/mo · $22.92/mo yearly |
Extra routes cost $50 each on Basic for routes 2 and 3, then $30. Pro adds $50 per route. Growth adds $100 for route 2, then $50 each[2].
With 2 trucks, GorillaDesk Pro is $149 a month. That is $1,368 a year more than our Pro, billed monthly. With 4 trucks on Pro, the gap is $2,568 a year.
Basic is closest on price: $168 a year more for 1 truck. But Basic routing stops at 25 stops, and QuickBooks needs Pro[2].
Monthly prices, before tax and payment fees. GorillaDesk's yearly billing gives one month free[2]. Our Free plan covers 2 routes, but only you plus 1 teammate. See pricing.
Billing
What happens when you finish a visit
GorillaDesk has a trigger that emails the invoice when a job is set to complete. Its help page says the trigger does not work on recurring invoices, which have their own actions[5].
4Home Pros: tap Done and the visit is billed. The charge lands on the customer's balance, per visit or once a month. Recurring visits work the same way. Sending invoices is a separate step, to one customer or a batch.
AI
Two different kinds of AI
GorillaDesk has AI agents for phone, text, web chat and its client portal, at $1 to $1.75 per completed conversation. It also lists a receptionist, an analyst, a route optimizer and a website builder[3].
4Home Pros files Spanish voice notes in English and, on Pro, imports customers from a photo or PDF. Its connector lets you log visits and record payments from Claude or ChatGPT, free up to 15 customers. How it works.
