PestPac (by WorkWave) is genuinely powerful enterprise software — if you run a multi-branch operation with dozens of trucks and a back-office team, it has depth few can match. But that power comes with quote-based pricing, implementation timelines, training curves, and a mobile experience owners regularly complain about. ServiceHQ gives a 1–15 truck operator the pest-specific essentials — routing, devices, chemicals, compliance, texting — at a flat published price, running the same day you sign up.
PestPac is bought like enterprise software: a sales call, a custom quote, an implementation plan, and training before your techs run their first route on it. That's appropriate for a 50-truck multi-branch company. It's a lot of overhead for an owner-operator.
ServiceHQ is bought like an app: start a 14-day trial with no credit card, import your customers (we'll do it for you), build your routes, and run tomorrow's schedule on it. The pricing is on the website — $19 to $299 a month, flat.

PestPac has been the enterprise standard in pest control for a long time for a reason. Multi-branch management, deep reporting, integrated collections and accounting workflows, and a feature surface built up over decades — for large operations with dedicated office staff to run it, it delivers. If you're 30+ trucks across multiple branches, PestPac (or FieldRoutes) belongs on your shortlist and ServiceHQ isn't there yet.
The honest question is whether you're paying enterprise overhead — in dollars, setup time, and daily complexity — for capacity you don't use. Most 1–15 truck operators use a fraction of PestPac and feel all of its weight.
Start the trial, send us your customer export, and we load customers, service locations, and devices for you — free. You review your own data live before deciding anything.
Build your routes, set recurring service plans, connect Stripe for payments, and run real jobs from the mobile app. Your techs learn it in a ride-along, not a training course.
One flat bill you saw on the website before you signed up. No renewal negotiation, no per-module surprises, no annual lock-in.
You run a large multi-branch operation with office staff dedicated to the system. You depend on its enterprise accounting/collections workflows or franchise reporting. Your organization has already absorbed the implementation cost and it's working — switching costs are real, and power you actually use is worth paying for.
You're a 1–15 truck operator paying enterprise prices for features you don't touch. You want published pricing, monthly terms, and setup measured in hours. Your techs want a mobile app that just works, your commercial accounts want facility maps, and you want texting and after-hours call answering built into the same system.
14-day free trial, no credit card, no sales call — and we migrate your data for you, free.
