Workiz and GorillaDesk pricing in 2026: one quotes privately, one prices per route

How much do Workiz and GorillaDesk cost?

These two vendors sit at opposite ends of price transparency, which is why we cover them together. GorillaDesk's pricing page lets you set your route count on a slider and shows the price. Workiz's pricing page lists three plans with feature tables, and every price cell reads Request pricing. We read both on October 19, 2026.

So for GorillaDesk you will find real numbers below. For Workiz you will find how it structures its plans, what it puts outside them, and the questions that get you a comparable quote. We don't publish a guessed Workiz price, because Workiz hasn't published one.

Workiz pricing: what the page shows

Read October 2026 (October 19) from workiz.com/pricing-plans.

Every Workiz plan lists unlimited jobs, invoices, estimates and clients. The page doesn't state how many users each plan includes or what an extra user costs.

How Workiz quotes, and what to ask

With no public numbers, a Workiz quote is only comparable if you ask for the pieces separately. One point needs clearing up first. The comparison table puts "(sold separately)" next to Genius Phone, while the FAQ says Workiz offers "for all the plans a built-in phone system" with call tracking, recording and masking. Both can be true if a basic phone feature is included and the Genius version costs extra, but the page doesn't say so. Ask.

1. What is the monthly price of Standard, Pro and Ultimate for our team, billed monthly and billed annually?
2. How many users does each plan include, and what does each extra user or technician cost?
3. Which phone features come with the plan, and what do Genius Phone, Genius Answering and Genius Marketing each cost per month?
4. Is there an onboarding, setup or data import fee?
5. Is the annual plan refundable if we cancel partway through, and does it renew automatically?
6. Through Workiz Pay, what do card payments and bank transfers cost us per transaction?
7. Can we export jobs, clients and invoices in bulk if we leave?

That last question decides how hard it is to leave later; our guide to data ownership by vendor explains what to look for.

GorillaDesk pricing per route

Read October 2026 (October 19) from gorilladesk.com/pricing, with the slider set to one route.

The yearly toggle is labeled "Get one month free!", and the numbers bear that out: each yearly price is exactly 11 times the monthly one. The page doesn't show yearly prices for additional routes, so ask GorillaDesk's team if you have more than one.

What counts as a route on GorillaDesk?

GorillaDesk uses "route" and "schedule" for the same thing: the schedule of one technician who runs jobs on their own. Its FAQ puts the test simply: do your technicians ride together or solo? A solo tech needs a schedule. A crew that rides together needs one schedule, assigned to the crew lead. Only users assigned to a schedule need a paid seat; admins, managers, sales staff and crew members ride free, on every plan.

That makes GorillaDesk unusually cheap for office-heavy or crew-based businesses. A pest control company with three solo techs and two office staff pays for three routes. A lawn crew of six in two trucks pays for two. If you're shopping specifically for that model, our guide to field service software without per-user fees compares it with other tools that don't charge by the seat.

Does GorillaDesk charge extra for texting or anything else?

Also note the routing limit on Basic: "Basic Routing (limited to 25 stops)." Pro adds routing with real-time street drive times, and Growth adds drive time between jobs and best-available-time suggestions. If your techs run more than 25 stops a day, Basic's routing tool won't optimize the whole day in one pass. The page's description also says to "add AI and SMS only when you use them," but it shows no AI price, so ask if you want those features.

Contracts, cancellation and free trials

GorillaDesk (read October 19, 2026) says its plans are "month-to-month with no contracts, no setup fees." A monthly subscriber can cancel at any time without penalty, and an account can be frozen if your business is seasonal. An annual subscription is charged for the full year when it begins; the page doesn't address refunds of an annual payment. You can upgrade any time and downgrade at the end of the current billing cycle. The page description offers a 14-day free trial of Growth.

Workiz offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card. Its pricing page doesn't state contract length, cancellation terms or refund terms for annual plans, so those belong on your question list. For how these terms compare with Jobber's and Housecall Pro's, see field service software contracts and cancellation.

Workiz or GorillaDesk: who each suits

Workiz features customer stories on its pricing page mostly from locksmith, garage door, appliance repair, junk removal and HVAC companies, trades where answering the phone fast is the job. Its strengths are phone and messaging tools, AI answering, lead-source integrations (its page lists Angi Leads, Thumbtack, Yelp and Reserve with Google) and multi-location support on Ultimate. If that matches your business, the missing price shouldn't rule it out. Get the quote. The Workiz vs Jobber comparison helps frame it.

GorillaDesk shows a customer list on its pricing page made up mostly of pest control, wildlife, lawn and pool companies, which is route-based recurring work. Its strengths are per-route pricing with free users, material and chemical tracking, device barcoding, subscription billing through Stripe or Square on Pro, and terms you can read before you sign. See GorillaDesk vs Jobber for how it stacks up against the most common alternative.

Both are still software you rent. If you'd rather hold the system and the customer list in your own company's name, we build custom CRMs that charge you nothing per user, and quote each one individually instead of publishing a price list. The Workiz alternative and GorillaDesk alternative pages cover when that's worth it and when it isn't.
