PestScan vs Smart Book

PestScan is a cloud platform for pest control professionals, quality managers, and facility managers, combining business software, a mobile app, and a customer portal. Its integrated pest management tools record and analyze pest activity to support proactive strategies and lower rodenticide use. Visit reports can be sent automatically, customized, and prepared with the BPCA UK template. Operations tools include extended planning, route optimization, time registration, stock control, and management reports. Connections include CRM and work-order data through an API, Lexware Office for accounting, and sensors including Xignal, Traplinked, eMitter, and GreenTrapOnline. Documentation tools and safety data sheets support client compliance efforts for ISO, HACCP, IFS, and BRC standards. The data-processing agreement places personal-data processing within the EU/EEA, and says the service is not intended for special-category data, criminal-conviction data, or government-issued ID numbers. Plans start at €50 a year with yearly payment, billed monthly; the 30-day free trial requires no credit card. Plans list weekday helpdesk access and an online knowledge base.

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.
