RepGrid vs Knockbase: Which D2D App Is Right for Your Team?

Quick verdict

Both RepGrid and Knockbase are built for door-to-door sales teams and put a map at the center of the experience. The difference is in the data model and the depth of the feature set around job booking and revenue tracking.

RepGrid is optimized for home services crews that book jobs with a price — solar, pest control, roofing, window cleaning, lawn care, HVAC. The entire workflow is built around moving a house from Not Knocked to Booked to Completed, with revenue tracking and commission summaries at the end.

Knockbase is focused on digital door knocking and lead capture, with tools for rep activity tracking and territory management. It's used across industries including solar and home improvement.

Feature comparison

Territory drawing

Both tools support polygon-based territory assignment. The key difference is what happens after you draw the polygon. In RepGrid, the tool auto-fills every residential address inside the boundary from OpenStreetMap data — no lead list upload required. You draw, the houses appear, and you assign reps immediately.

This matters most when you're expanding to a new neighborhood on short notice. Waiting 24 hours for a lead list to process is a real cost when you're trying to react to a storm event or a promotional push.

Status pipeline depth

RepGrid's status pipeline is purpose-built for home services door-to-door: Not Knocked, Booked, Completed, Denied, Warm Lead, No Answer, Re-visit AM, Re-visit PM. The Re-visit AM/PM split is specifically designed to track follow-up appointment time preferences — a homeowner who works nights gets tagged Re-visit PM, a retiree who leaves at noon gets Re-visit AM. Reps filter their route by the appropriate revisit time without calling the homeowner to ask again.

Status history stays attached to the house rather than the rep. When a rep transfers or quits, the incoming rep picks up full context on every address without needing a handoff meeting.

Revenue tracking

This is the clearest differentiation between the two tools. RepGrid is built around a revenue data model: every booked job has a price, and that price flows into a live revenue dashboard with 24h/7d/30d/90d filters, a goal line, and projected revenue from pending appointments. The owner can open the app and know exactly where the team is tracking against the week's goal at any moment.

Knockbase is more focused on lead volume and rep activity. If your primary metric is doors knocked and leads captured, that reporting is useful. If your primary metric is job revenue and rep efficiency, RepGrid's dashboard is built for that.

Offline capability

Field reps knock doors in spotty-signal environments constantly: new developments, rural areas, dense urban blocks between buildings. RepGrid queues status updates and notes locally when signal drops and syncs automatically when it returns. This ensures no update is lost mid-route even if the rep spends an hour without coverage.

Team chat and scheduling

RepGrid includes in-app team chat with channels, DMs, and interactive scheduling cards. A rep can request a territory schedule change from within the app, and the manager can confirm or decline without leaving RepGrid. Jobs sync to Apple and Google Calendar from within the app. This replaces the SMS group thread that most D2D crews are running in parallel with their CRM.

Which to choose

Bottom line

For home services crews in solar, pest control, roofing, and similar job-booking industries, RepGrid's polygon territory tools, Re-visit AM/PM statuses, live revenue dashboard, and commission-ready reporting make it the stronger fit. If your D2D motion is primarily lead capture and rep activity tracking without a heavy revenue-per-job component, evaluate Knockbase alongside RepGrid before deciding.
