PestPro vs Smart Book

PestPro is pest control software for managing jobs, teams, inspections, chemicals and reporting. Admins can assign work and track job status across the team, while property histories show earlier findings, treatments and trouble spots. The chemical database includes more than 500 products with EPA registration numbers, active ingredients and categories; users can add custom chemicals. Admins can make inspection checklists with items tailored to different pest types. Technicians can annotate photos and record treatments with the chemical, dose, target, area, timestamp and technician name. Completed jobs automatically generate service reports containing findings, treatments, photos and the customer signature. Technicians can work offline in the field. PestPro is available as a web app and native apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, with real-time syncing across platforms. The maker says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, company data is limited to team members, and authentication uses strict access controls. Its Free plan is free and includes unlimited jobs with no credit card required.

Smart Book is a CRM and field-service management platform for owner-led local service businesses, including lawn care, cleaning, property maintenance, pool service, HVAC and pest control. It manages customers, schedules, recurring work, estimates, invoices, reporting and field roles. Jobs can run once or recur weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or on a custom schedule. Estimates support line items and secure approval links; accepted work can become a job, with invoices tied to the client and job. Technicians use the My Day phone workflow to see assigned jobs, route order, directions, notes and attachments, then mark starts and completions. Stripe connections support invoice payments, saved cards and AutoPay when enabled and authorized; processing fees are separate. The Whole Crew plan costs $30 a month or $300 a year, both with unlimited team members and owner, admin, dispatcher and technician roles. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. Smart Book runs on Android, iOS and web.
