Why contractors pick Crew Rivet
Built for 23 trades
GorillaDesk's templates and workflows lean toward pest control and lawn care. Crew Rivet supports 23 trades with curated workflows, pricing templates, and reporting for each — one platform whatever you run.
AI receptionist included — not an add-on
GorillaDesk sells its AI Phone Agent as a paid add-on. On Crew Rivet the AI receptionist is built into the Crew plan — it answers calls, books jobs, and speaks English and Spanish, included in your flat rate.
Flat pricing instead of per-route
GorillaDesk charges per route, so costs climb as you add routes. Crew Rivet uses flat monthly pricing — $129/mo covers up to 5 users on the Crew plan — so your cost stays predictable as you grow.
