Where Koira fits

Koira suits a pest or lawn company of one to three people that wants plans to run themselves: on Front Office ($499 a month flat, usage included) it sells plans on your site and invoices, bills the card on file and books each visit when due. Stops are sorted by the drive on every plan, including the free one.

Koira does not track chemical use, product labels or state reports. If you need those records in the same system, GorillaDesk lists them and Koira does not.

How to choose

If chemical records are a must, start with GorillaDesk. If you run more than pest work, or want texting without credits, try Jobber. Either way, check the price at your real number of routes or users.
