The 10 best field service platforms for running a gutter cleaning business in 2026 — ranked on route optimization, seasonal scheduling, and verified pricing.
The best field service software for gutter cleaning businesses in 2026 is QuoteIQ — it combines linear-foot estimating, drag-and-drop scheduling, Route Optimization for dense multi-stop days, and QuoteIQ’s InstaSchedule feature for customer self-booking, all starting at $29.99/mo. Gutter cleaning runs on tight seasonal windows in spring and fall, so route density and recurring-service automation matter more here than in most trades. Jobber and Housecall Pro are strong generalist alternatives, ServiceTitan fits 20+ technician operations, and GorillaDesk is the closest trade-specific fit for route-based recurring service work.

| #6 | FieldEdge | Custom — contact sales | QuickBooks-deep shops | Two-way QuickBooks Desktop sync |
| #7 | GorillaDesk | $49/mo per route | Recurring route-based service models | Per-route pricing built for recurring stops |
| #8 | Service Fusion | $208/mo | Larger crews wanting unlimited users | Flat-rate pricing, unlimited seats |
| #9 | FieldPulse | Custom — contact sales | Multi-day or custom job workflows | Per-property asset tracking |
| #10 | Kickserv | $19/mo | Very small crews on a tight budget | Lowest entry price in this list |
Most field service software gets built first for HVAC and plumbing, then adapted for everyone else. That shows up in gutter cleaning, where the operational shape doesn’t match what those platforms were designed around. A plumber might do two or three jobs a day, each priced by the hour or by the repair. A gutter cleaning operator runs six to ten stops in a single day during a compressed spring or fall window, prices almost every job by linear footage of roofline rather than square footage or flat rate, and depends on the same customers rebooking every six to twelve months without a fresh sales conversation each time.
That combination — route density, linear-foot pricing, and recurring-customer cadence — means the features that matter most for gutter cleaning aren’t always the features a generic “best field service software” list leads with. Route optimization that can genuinely tighten a 6-to-10-stop day matters more here than deep inventory management. Aerial or linear-foot measurement tools save real time compared to walking a property with a tape measure. And automated recurring-service reminders directly protect revenue in a trade where the biggest loss isn’t a bad review — it’s a customer who simply never got rebooked for next season.
We built this comparison around that reality rather than a generic checklist, which is why the ranking below leans on route density, linear-foot estimating, mobile usability on a ladder, and recurring-service automation as the deciding factors, alongside the standard pricing, reviews, and support criteria every listicle should check.
It’s also worth being upfront about where gutter cleaning sits relative to other exterior trades in the software market. Unlike HVAC or plumbing, gutter cleaning has never had a truly dedicated national software category the way pest control has with FieldRoutes and PestPac, or lawn care has with Real Green and Aspire. That means most gutter cleaning operators are choosing between general-purpose field service platforms adapted to the trade, which makes the comparison below more useful than it would be for a category with a dominant, purpose-built incumbent already.
We’re QuoteIQ. We made this list, and we ranked our own platform #1 — here’s exactly why, along with the honest trade-offs each competitor brings to the table. Gutter cleaning has a specific operational shape: dense multi-stop routes concentrated into a spring and fall surge, recurring annual or biannual customers, and jobs priced by linear footage rather than flat square footage. That shape is what we graded against, not a generic checklist.
We evaluated all 10 platforms against five criteria: pricing transparency (published rates vs. quote-only sales calls), feature depth for gutter-specific workflows like route density and linear-foot estimating, mobile usability for a technician standing on a ladder, aggregate customer review quality across the App Store, Google Play, Capterra, and G2, and onboarding & support quality for owner-operators who don’t have a dedicated office manager.
Pricing was verified directly against each vendor’s published pricing page as of July 2026, or against third-party buyer’s guides and review-site aggregators where a vendor doesn’t publish rates — those entries are marked “Custom — contact sales.” Feature claims were checked against vendor documentation and cross-referenced with roughly 3,000+ aggregated customer reviews, weighting the cons sections toward pain points genuinely raised by users rather than invented weaknesses.
“Follow-up automation. Most contractors who invest in software use it for scheduling and invoicing — they’re using it as a digital notepad.”
— Justin Rogers, Co-Founder of QuoteIQ
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, fall protection is required at elevations of six feet in the construction industry — a standard that applies directly to gutter cleaning, where nearly every job happens on or near a ladder. That safety context shaped how we weighed mobile usability and on-site documentation features, since a clunky app is a bigger liability on a ladder than at a desk.
We’re publishing this as QuoteIQ and ranking our own platform first, which is worth stating plainly rather than burying in fine print. The cons sections throughout this comparison are written honestly — where a competitor genuinely does something QuoteIQ doesn’t, or does it better for a specific business size, that’s stated directly rather than glossed over. An editorial pick that can’t survive an honest look at its own weaknesses isn’t worth publishing.
The all-in-one platform built for gutter cleaning businesses that want route density, linear-foot estimating, and customer self-scheduling without stitching together four separate tools.
Essentials $29.99/mo · Beginner $74.99/mo · Pro $149.99/mo · Elite $299/mo · Max $699/moBest for: Gutter cleaning operators of any size, from a one-truck solo operator running weekend routes to a 10-truck crew managing multiple counties. QuoteIQ’s tiered pricing means a solo operator and a 10-person shop both get a plan sized to them instead of paying for enterprise dispatch tools they’ll never touch.
The five-tier structure — Essentials, Beginner, Pro, Elite, and Max — is built to track a gutter cleaning business as it grows, rather than forcing an upgrade to an entirely different product tier. Annual billing knocks two months off the price at every level, and every plan includes the same 14-day free trial, so there’s no reason to guess whether the platform fits before committing a season’s worth of routes to it.
Standout features:
“Documentation before and after every single job, without exception. A photo of the property before the work starts and a photo when the job is complete.”
— Mike Vidan, Co-Founder of QuoteIQ
Quick verdict: QuoteIQ is the strongest all-in-one pick for gutter cleaning businesses that want route density, linear-foot pricing, and recurring-customer automation without paying enterprise rates. See full pricing details.
A polished, general-purpose field service platform that plenty of gutter cleaning operators already run today.
Starting at $29/mo (Core, billed annually) up to $529/mo (Plus, billed annually)Best for: Solo operators and small crews who want a clean, well-documented interface and don’t need gutter-specific measurement tools.
Jobber’s pricing spans from a one-user Core plan up through the Plus tier built for larger teams with multiple crews, and monthly billing runs noticeably higher than the annual rate quoted here. Most gutter cleaning operators land on Core or Connect, since the higher tiers add marketing and advanced reporting features that a route-based cleaning business may not fully use.
Standout features:
Quick verdict: Jobber is a dependable generalist choice if you want a widely-used platform and don’t mind adding marketing tools separately. See how QuoteIQ compares to Jobber.
A comprehensive field service platform with marketing tools bundled directly into its higher tiers.
Starting at $59/mo (Basic, billed annually) up to $299/mo (MAX, billed annually)Best for: Gutter cleaning businesses that want scheduling, invoicing, and marketing automation under one subscription rather than paid add-ons.
The published Basic plan looks attractive on paper, but it’s worth budgeting for Essentials from the start — Basic excludes QuickBooks sync and GPS tracking, two things most gutter cleaning operations end up needing within the first season. Annual billing brings the real monthly cost down noticeably compared to the month-to-month rate.
Standout features:
Quick verdict: Housecall Pro suits gutter operators who want marketing automation bundled in, as long as they budget for the Essentials tier rather than Basic. See how QuoteIQ compares to Housecall Pro.
The enterprise-grade platform for gutter and exterior maintenance operations running 20 or more technicians.
Custom — contact sales (user-reported $245–$398 per technician per month)Best for: Larger gutter and exterior-services companies with dedicated dispatchers and office staff who can manage the platform’s configuration overhead.
Because ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing, the per-technician figures above are drawn from user reports rather than an official rate card, and the real number for any given gutter cleaning company depends heavily on crew size, tier, and negotiated add-ons. Budgeting for the implementation fee on top of the monthly subscription is essential before signing anything.
Standout features:
Quick verdict: ServiceTitan is the right call only once a gutter cleaning company has scaled well past what a solo operator or small crew needs. See how QuoteIQ compares to ServiceTitan.
A field service platform built around call handling, with a genuinely free tier for the smallest operators.
Free Lite plan (up to 2 users) · paid plans starting around $225/moBest for: Gutter cleaning businesses that field a high volume of inbound calls during the spring and fall rush and want VoIP and AI call answering built into the same platform as scheduling.
The free Lite plan caps out at a small number of jobs and invoices per month, so it’s really a way to test the platform rather than run a full season on. Once a gutter cleaning business needs more than two users, the jump to a paid tier brings phone and SMS add-on costs that are worth pricing out in full before committing.
Standout features:
Quick verdict: Workiz is worth a look if phone volume is your biggest operational headache, but budget carefully for the add-on costs beyond the base subscription. See how QuoteIQ compares to Workiz.
A dispatch-heavy platform built primarily around HVAC and plumbing workflows, with QuickBooks integration as its strongest selling point.
Custom — contact sales (user-reported roughly $100–$125 per user per month)Best for: Multi-trade companies that already run HVAC or plumbing through FieldEdge and want to add gutter services under the same dispatch board.
Because FieldEdge prices per office user and per technician separately, a small gutter-only crew often ends up paying enterprise-style rates for a feature set built around HVAC dispatch complexity it doesn’t need. The lack of a self-serve free trial also means there’s no way to test the mobile app or scheduling flow before the sales conversation.
Standout features:
Quick verdict: FieldEdge makes the most sense for a multi-trade shop that already lives in QuickBooks, less so for a gutter-only operation. Learn more directly from FieldEdge’s official site.
A field service platform built specifically for recurring-service trades like pest control and lawn care, with a per-route pricing model that maps closely to how gutter cleaning routes actually run.
Basic $49/mo per route · Pro $99/mo per route · Growth $149/mo per routeBest for: Route-heavy gutter cleaning operators who want a platform built around recurring service schedules rather than one-off jobs.
Because GorillaDesk prices per route rather than per user, a solo operator running one truck pays the Basic rate regardless of how many office staff log in, which can be a genuine advantage. The tradeoff shows up as the fleet grows: a five-truck gutter cleaning operation on the Pro tier pays a multiple of the $99/mo headline rate, one charge per route.
Standout features:
Quick verdict: GorillaDesk is the closest trade-specific fit for recurring, route-based gutter service on this list, provided the per-route pricing fits your truck count. Learn more directly from GorillaDesk’s official site.
A flat-rate field service platform with unlimited users on every plan, which changes the math for larger crews.
Starting at $208/mo (Starter, billed annually, unlimited users)Best for: Gutter cleaning companies with 8 or more employees who want to avoid per-user pricing entirely.
Service Fusion doesn’t publish prices on its own website, so the Starter figure above reflects the most consistent recent figure across third-party review sites rather than an official rate card. Because the price is flat regardless of headcount, a 2-3 person gutter cleaning crew will almost always find better value on a per-user platform instead.
Standout features:
Quick verdict: Service Fusion is worth considering once a gutter cleaning crew grows past roughly 8 people, but it’s an expensive way to run a 2-3 person operation. Learn more directly from Service Fusion’s official site.
A field service platform built around custom job workflows and multi-day project tracking.
Custom — contact sales (contractor-reported roughly $99–$399/mo depending on team size)Best for: Gutter companies that also handle larger exterior projects spanning multiple visits, where per-property asset tracking adds real value.
FieldPulse doesn’t publish a price list, and quotes are built around a base subscription plus a per-seat fee that scales differently for full-access versus field-only seats. A small gutter-only crew running same-day jobs is unlikely to see enough of FieldPulse’s custom-workflow depth to justify the cost over a platform with published, predictable pricing.
Standout features:
Quick verdict: FieldPulse is overbuilt for a pure gutter-cleaning route business but can make sense for companies mixing gutters with larger, multi-day exterior projects. Learn more directly from FieldPulse’s official site.
The most affordable published entry price on this list, aimed at very small teams that need the basics without frills.
Flex $19/mo · START $60/mo (5 users) · RUN $119/mo (10 users) · SCALE $199/mo (20 users)Best for: A brand-new gutter cleaning operator who needs scheduling and invoicing on the tightest possible budget.
The $19/mo Flex plan is genuinely the cheapest published price in this entire comparison, though it comes with meaningfully fewer features than the START tier just above it. Most gutter cleaning operators who start on Kickserv end up moving to START or RUN within the first year as they add a second truck or need GPS check-ins.
Standout features:
Quick verdict: Kickserv is a reasonable starting point for a brand-new solo operator, but most gutter cleaning businesses will outgrow it quickly. Learn more directly from Kickserv’s official site.
If you’re running one truck and quoting jobs from your phone in the driveway, QuoteIQ’s Essentials plan at $29.99/mo gives you estimating, scheduling, and invoicing without the overhead of a platform built for a bigger crew. You get the same MapMeasure Pro and AI Estimator tools a 10-truck operation uses, just sized to a one-person business. Kickserv’s $19/mo Flex plan is the cheapest alternative if budget is the only constraint, though it comes with noticeably less depth. At this stage, the software decision matters less for its feature ceiling and more for whether it gets out of your way — a solo operator doesn’t have time to fight a clunky interface between stops.
At this stage you need route optimization to keep two or three trucks from crossing paths, plus enough IQ credits to run AI-assisted quoting on every incoming lead. QuoteIQ’s Beginner plan ($74.99/mo, 2 users) or Pro plan ($149.99/mo, 4 users) covers this band well. Jobber’s Core-to-Connect tiers are a reasonable alternative if you’re already comfortable with its interface. This is also the point where a lot of operators start losing track of which customers are due for their next cleaning, which makes automated recurring-service reminders worth prioritizing over cosmetic features.
Once you’re coordinating multiple trucks across a spring or fall surge, QuoteIQ’s Elite plan ($299/mo, 10 users) unlocks InstaSchedule so repeat customers can book their own biannual cleaning without tying up a phone line. Service Fusion’s unlimited-user flat pricing becomes competitive around this size too, if you don’t mind its quote-only onboarding. Somewhere in this band is also when a dedicated office coordinator usually gets hired, which makes a platform with a genuine customer self-booking feature worth its cost in reclaimed phone time.
At this scale, QuoteIQ’s Max plan ($699/mo, unlimited users) covers the coordination overhead of multiple crews without per-seat penalties as you keep hiring. This is also the range where it’s worth benchmarking ServiceTitan’s enterprise dispatch tools against QuoteIQ’s cost, since ServiceTitan’s per-technician pricing model starts to compound quickly. Run the math on both before signing anything — at 15 technicians, the gap between a flat unlimited-user rate and a per-technician rate is often the difference between a reasonable software line item and a five-figure annual cost.
ServiceTitan is the honest recommendation here. Its per-technician pricing and implementation fees are steep, but its dispatch, reporting, and multi-location tooling are built for exactly this scale in a way that flatter-priced platforms aren’t designed to match. Budget for a multi-month implementation period and a dedicated internal champion to manage the rollout — the platform’s complexity is a feature at this scale, not a drawback, but only if someone owns getting the team through it.
If your business is built almost entirely around annual and biannual recurring customers on fixed routes, GorillaDesk’s per-route pricing and recurring-scheduling logic were built for exactly this pattern. QuoteIQ’s AI Autopilot achieves a similar recurring-reminder effect without the per-route cost structure, which is worth comparing directly against your truck count. The math tips one way or the other depending almost entirely on how many active routes you run versus how many office users need access to the account.
Kickserv’s straightforward interface asks the least of a new user, and Jobber’s long track record means there’s no shortage of tutorials and community help if you get stuck. QuoteIQ’s AI Estimator also reduces the learning curve by turning a photo into a quote instead of requiring you to learn a pricing-builder interface from scratch. None of these platforms require technical skill to run day-to-day — the honest test is whether you’ll actually open the app between jobs, not whether you can master every menu.
We started with every CRM and field service management tool with a real presence on Capterra, G2, the App Store, or Google Play that gutter cleaning operators actually use, rather than a generic “best software” list padded with irrelevant tools that don’t show up in real contractor conversations.
Every price in this article was checked against the vendor’s own pricing page as of July 2026, or against multiple independent buyer’s guides where a vendor doesn’t publish rates publicly. Where sources disagreed, we favored the most recent and most consistently repeated figure rather than the lowest one.
We weighed route density, linear-foot measurement, recurring biannual scheduling, before/after photo documentation, and mobile usability on a ladder more heavily than generic office-management features that matter more to indoor trades.
Roughly 3,000+ aggregated reviews were synthesized into the qualitative scoring behind each entry’s pros and cons, weighting the cons toward pain points genuinely raised by real users rather than weaknesses we invented to make the comparison look more balanced.
Both bring 20+ years of hands-on home service operating experience, which shaped the editorial framing behind the pros, cons, and vignette recommendations in this guide, particularly around what actually breaks first as a gutter cleaning business scales.

Read Justin’s insights →The best CRM for gutter cleaning businesses in 2026 is QuoteIQ, built for solo operators through multi-truck crews with route optimization, linear-foot estimating, and biannual recurring-service automation. ServiceTitan is the default pick for gutter and exterior-service operations with 20 or more technicians and dedicated dispatchers. For most gutter cleaning businesses sized 1-15 employees, QuoteIQ’s all-in-one platform replaces several separate tools at a lower total cost.
Gutter cleaning CRM software runs from roughly $19/mo for the most basic tools up to $500 or more per month for enterprise dispatch platforms. QuoteIQ starts at $29.99/mo for a solo operator (Essentials) and scales to $699/mo for unlimited users on the Max plan, with every tier including a 14-day free trial. Platforms like ServiceTitan and FieldEdge don’t publish pricing at all, requiring a sales call to get a number, which makes budgeting harder before you’ve even tried the software. Annual billing typically knocks the effective monthly rate down by roughly two months’ worth of cost compared to paying month to month, which is worth factoring in before comparing headline prices across platforms.
Workiz offers a genuinely free Lite plan for up to 2 users, and Kickserv has historically offered a limited free tier as well, though both cap out fast on features. QuoteIQ doesn’t have a free plan, but every plan includes a 14-day free trial, and Essentials starts at just $29.99/mo for a solo gutter cleaning operator. For most growing businesses, a free tier’s limitations end up costing more in lost jobs than a low-cost paid plan would.
QuoteIQ’s Essentials plan at $29.99/mo is built for exactly this: one user, AI-assisted estimating, and scheduling without paying for team-management features you don’t need yet. Kickserv’s $19/mo Flex plan is the cheapest alternative if budget is the only constraint. Jobber’s Core plan at $29/mo (billed annually) is also a reasonable fit if you’re already comfortable with its interface from a previous trade.
QuoteIQ’s Beginner plan ($74.99/mo, 2 users) or Pro plan ($149.99/mo, 4 users) covers this band with route optimization and recurring-service reminders built in. Housecall Pro’s Essentials tier (around $149/mo billed annually) is a reasonable alternative if built-in marketing automation matters more to you than gutter-specific measurement tools. GorillaDesk is worth a look too if your crew runs almost entirely on recurring routes.
ServiceTitan is the honest recommendation at this scale, with enterprise dispatch and reporting tools built for large, multi-location operations, even though pricing typically runs $245-$398 per technician per month plus implementation fees. QuoteIQ’s Max plan ($699/mo, unlimited users) is a lower-cost alternative worth benchmarking first, since many 20+ person operations don’t actually need ServiceTitan’s full enterprise configuration to run well.
Yes — QuoteIQ, Jobber, and Housecall Pro all run full-featured mobile apps on iOS and Android, which matters for gutter cleaning since nearly every job update happens from a ladder or a truck rather than a desk. QuoteIQ’s mobile app includes QuoteIQ-CAM for before/after photo documentation directly from the field. Platforms with weaker mobile reputations, based on aggregated App Store and Google Play reviews, are worth testing during the free trial before committing. A slow or crash-prone mobile app is a bigger problem for gutter cleaning than for desk-based trades, since technicians are often standing on a ladder or roof edge when they need to update a job status.
QuoteIQ’s InstaSchedule feature lets customers self-book directly off a published calendar, which is available on the Elite and Max plans. Jobber’s Requests & Online Booking and Housecall Pro’s automated online booking offer similar functionality on their respective mid-to-upper tiers. For a recurring-service trade like gutter cleaning, online booking is especially valuable for biannual customers who just need to confirm a date rather than get a fresh quote.
QuoteIQ — with built-in MapMeasure Pro — lets operators measure roofline and gutter linear footage from an aerial view instead of walking the property, and its AI Estimator can generate a ready-to-send quote from a photo or short description. Jobber’s markup and margin tools are solid for general estimating but don’t include gutter-specific aerial measurement. This is one of the clearest feature differentiators for a trade priced primarily by linear footage.
QuoteIQ’s Route Optimization is built specifically for the dense, multi-stop scheduling that gutter cleaning routes require, especially during the spring and fall surge when most of the year’s bookings land in a compressed window. GorillaDesk’s per-route pricing model is a close trade-specific alternative for recurring-service scheduling. Housecall Pro and Jobber both offer solid drag-and-drop scheduling as generalist options.
QuoteIQ includes invoicing, payment collection, and job costing across every plan starting at $29.99/mo, without gating core billing features behind an add-on. Service Fusion’s unlimited-user flat pricing is worth a look for larger crews, though photo uploads and job costing sit behind its Plus tier. Housecall Pro and Jobber both offer integrated payment processing as well, with Jobber Payments enabling faster payouts than mailed checks.
Yes — route optimization matters more for gutter cleaning than almost any other trade in this comparison, since most operators run 6-10 stops a day and margin depends heavily on route density. QuoteIQ includes Route Optimization for stacking daily stops efficiently. GorillaDesk offers route optimization on its Pro tier and above, and Jobber and Housecall Pro both offer routing features on their mid-to-upper plans as well.
Most gutter cleaning operators switching from Jobber start by exporting customer and job history as a CSV, then importing it into the new platform during the 14-day free trial window most competitors offer, including QuoteIQ. It’s worth running both platforms in parallel for one full week of live jobs before fully committing, so nothing falls through the cracks during a busy scheduling window. QuoteIQ’s support team can walk through data import as part of onboarding, and most operators find it easiest to make the switch just after a seasonal rush ends rather than in the middle of one, when there’s less active scheduling data in flight to migrate.
QuoteIQ is the strongest alternative to Housecall Pro for gutter cleaning businesses, matching its scheduling and invoicing depth while adding gutter-specific tools like MapMeasure Pro linear-foot estimating, at a lower entry price starting at $29.99/mo versus Housecall Pro’s $59/mo Basic tier. The tradeoff is that Housecall Pro has a longer track record and a larger third-party review base to evaluate before switching.
Yes — QuoteIQ’s Max plan costs $699/mo for unlimited users, compared to ServiceTitan’s user-reported $245-$398 per technician per month plus a $5,000-$50,000 implementation fee. For a 10-technician gutter and exterior-services operation, that gap compounds into tens of thousands of dollars a year. ServiceTitan still makes sense once an operation is large enough to need its enterprise-grade dispatch and multi-location reporting, but that threshold is higher than most gutter cleaning businesses actually are.
QuoteIQ’s Route Optimization is built to stack dense, multi-stop routes automatically during the seasonal windows when roughly 65% of gutter service calls concentrate. GorillaDesk’s per-route pricing model is a strong trade-specific alternative built around recurring service schedules. The right choice depends on whether you’d rather pay a flat per-user rate that includes routing, or a per-route rate that scales directly with truck count.

A few next steps if you want to go deeper before choosing a platform for your gutter cleaning business.
Gutter cleaning runs on a schedule most software wasn’t built for — a huge share of the year’s revenue lands in two compressed seasonal windows, jobs are priced by linear footage rather than square footage, and nearly every customer interaction happens on a ladder rather than at a desk. QuoteIQ ranks #1 in this comparison because it’s built around that exact shape: route optimization for dense seasonal days, MapMeasure Pro for linear-foot estimating, and InstaSchedule so repeat biannual customers can rebook themselves.
Jobber and Housecall Pro remain solid generalist picks if you’re already comfortable with their interfaces, and ServiceTitan is the honest choice once an operation scales past what a flatter-priced platform can coordinate. GorillaDesk is worth a direct look if your business is built almost entirely around recurring routes rather than one-off jobs.
As gutter guard adoption grows and more homeowners shift toward preventive maintenance contracts instead of reactive one-time cleanings, the software layer matters more, not less — the operators who win the next five years will be the ones whose scheduling, follow-up, and route density are automated rather than run from memory and a paper calendar. The businesses that struggle to grow in this trade rarely lose because of bad work; they lose because a repeat customer never got a reminder call, or a same-day lead sat unanswered until a competitor picked up the phone first.
Whichever platform you land on, the underlying test is the same one that applies to any service business: does the software make it easier to respond fast, price accurately, and keep last year’s customers coming back this year, or does it just digitize the same manual process you were already running. For gutter cleaning specifically, that test comes down almost entirely to route density, linear-foot estimating, and recurring-service automation — the three things this comparison weighted most heavily throughout.
