Hunter vs PestScan
The PestScan alternative for Australian state pesticide records
PestScan is a European pest control platform with a strong inspection-round and device-scanning workflow. Hunter shares that discipline but records against Australian state rules rather than European ones.
Best for: European pest control businesses running scheduled inspection rounds

The short version
PestScan is clearly built by people who understand inspection rounds — scanning devices at a site and building the record from what you find is exactly the right shape for commercial pest work. It is a European product, though, so the compliance model, the reporting and the support day all follow European requirements. Hunter does the same station-by-station recording, mapped to Australian state rules.
One thing to get out of the way before the table: Hunter is not sold the way the products on this page are. They are software licensed per user, which you configure and then operate. Hunter is a crew of AI employees installed with you — the work of answering, quoting, chasing and reporting is done by the system rather than by staff using it — so it is priced as one thing against what that work costs you today, not per seat. That makes a row-by-row feature comparison useful and a price comparison meaningless, which is why there isn't one. What it costs is on the pricing page and in full on the call.

Where PestScan falls short
PestScan’s records are shaped for European requirements. There is no Australian per-state pesticide record schema, no AU technician licence register and no AS 3660 or AS 4349.3 document set for timber pest work, which is the reporting an Australian operator is judged on.
At the time of writing it is sold and supported from Europe and priced in euros, and its accounting integrations follow that market rather than Xero or MYOB — so your exchange rate moves your costs and your support day sits well out of step with your crew’s.
Why Australian pest control teams choose Hunter
Hunter matches PestScan’s station-level rigour and puts an Australian rulebook underneath it:
- Bait stations, assets and QR tracking with per-visit readings
- Per-state compliance records for NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT
- Food-safety and HACCP tooling for food-grade operators
- An AI agent that quotes, schedules and handles customer comms
- AUD pricing and local, same-timezone support
