Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GorillaDesk at 75% against Lawn Pro's 30%. GorillaDesk also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 22 months). Lawn Pro's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
