Why Solo Pool Cleaning Pros Leave GorillaDesk
Enterprise field service suites were built for corporate offices. QuoteNest was built for the truck cab.
$49 to $99/Month Per Single Route
GorillaDesk charges $49/month for Basic and $99/month for Pro for just a single route. QuoteNest gives solo operators every feature in one flat $12/month plan—saving $444 to $1,044+ per year.
Automations & Portals Locked Behind $99/mo Pro Tier
GorillaDesk gates key client portal and automated follow-up features behind its $99/month Pro plan. QuoteNest includes Magic Client Portals, 1-Tap Google Review Boosters, and Rolling Rebooking in the $12/month plan.
Built Around Pest Control EPA Chemical Logs
GorillaDesk was designed for exterminators logging EPA pesticide registration numbers and rodent traps. QuoteNest is purpose-built for residential cleaning and exterior pressure washing.
No 30-Second Exterior & Interior Trade Calculators
Instead of typing manual line items, QuoteNest calculates house washes, driveways, roofs, gutters, fences, and room-by-room interior cleans with story multipliers in under 30 seconds.

Our Honest Anti-Bloat Guarantee
We do not build GPS fleet vehicle tracking, 15-technician dispatch boards, or complex corporate accounting modules. If you manage a large fleet of service trucks, GorillaDesk is built for you. But if you're a solo pool cleaning pro who just wants to calculate a quote in 30 seconds, send a branded link via WhatsApp, and get paid for $12/month, QuoteNest was engineered exclusively for you.

The Wall of Love
Join hundreds of solo cleaners and trade contractors who stopped overpaying for complex corporate CRMs.
"Was paying over $150/mo for heavy software with dispatch boards I never touched as a one-man show. QuoteNest is $12/mo flat and does exactly what I need right from my phone."
"I used to spend 15 minutes setting up estimates on my laptop at night. Now I build the quote and send it via WhatsApp before I even leave the customer's driveway."
"Most contractor software is built for 15-person companies with fleet GPS. QuoteNest is the first platform that feels like it was actually designed for solo owner-operators."
"I am not a tech person at all. Other software completely overwhelmed me with all the complicated menus and setups. QuoteNest took me 2 minutes to figure out."
"Sending professional proposals directly to my client's WhatsApp is incredible. Clients tap the link, hit approve, and I get paid the same day instead of waiting for emails to be opened."

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching your pool cleaning quoting to QuoteNest.
Is QuoteNest a good GorillaDesk alternative for pressure washers and window cleaners?
Yes. While GorillaDesk is built primarily for pest control operators needing EPA pesticide tracking ($49–$99/mo per route), QuoteNest is built specifically for solo pressure washers, soft washers, window cleaners, and residential cleaners. You get 30-second square-footage and linear-footage calculators, 1-Tap Native SMS and WhatsApp proposals, and seasonal rebooking reminders for $12/month flat.
Do I have to upgrade to a $99/month Pro plan to get automations in QuoteNest?
No. QuoteNest has zero feature gating. Every plan ($12/mo Standard or $18/3-mo Founder Pass) includes the full Dual-Trade Quoting Engine, Client 360° Hub, Driveway Glance pinned property notes, 1-Tap Google Review Booster, and Dual Rebooking Engine.
Can I try QuoteNest without entering a credit card?
Yes. You can start a 14-day free trial in 60 seconds with no credit card required, including 25 WhatsApp automated messages and unlimited 1-Tap Native SMS.
How much should I charge for weekly pool maintenance?
The standard is $100–$150 per month for weekly service on a standard residential pool. That includes skimming, vacuuming, chemical balancing, and a basic equipment check. Filter cleaning is a separate add-on ($75–$100 per clean). Green pool recovery is a one-time charge of $200–$400 depending on severity.
How do I build a profitable pool cleaning route?
Density is everything. 20 pools in the same 5-mile radius at $125/month each is $2,500/month with minimal drive time. Spread across a city? Half that revenue gets eaten by gas and windshield time. Quote fast, lock in recurring clients in tight neighborhoods, and your route builds itself through referrals.
