Hunter vs Simpro
The Simpro alternative without the implementation project
Simpro is a powerful Australian field-service platform built for large commercial contractors. Hunter gives pest control operators that depth without the heavy setup — plus AU compliance and an AI agent.
Best for: Large commercial trade and field-service contractors
Last reviewed
The short version
Simpro is one of Australia's biggest field-service platforms, and it's genuinely powerful for large commercial contractors managing complex projects and assets. That power comes with weight: long implementations, steep setup and pricing aimed at bigger operations — and it's still not pest-specific. Hunter gives you the depth that matters without the overhead.
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 Simpro falls short
Simpro is built for commercial field service in general, so Australian pesticide records, treatment cycles and licensing are configuration exercises rather than built-in features.
Onboarding is involved and pricing is quote-based and premium — a lot to take on for a pest control team that just needs to run jobs and stay compliant.
Why Australian pest control teams choose Hunter
Hunter delivers the capability without the enterprise overhead:
- Purpose-built AU pest compliance with no configuration project
- An AI agent that quotes, schedules and handles comms
- Bait stations, assets and QR tracking ready to go
- One AUD price for the whole crew — no per-seat maths as the team grows
