Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GorillaDesk at 76% against Lawn Pro's 31%. GorillaDesk also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.8) and update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). Lawn Pro's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
