By the Rankozo research desk · Updated November 12, 2026 · Next review December 27, 2026
ZenMaid is the best cleaning business software for residential maid services in 2026, because its Pro plan includes unlimited appointments, checklists and cleaner GPS tracking for $39 a month and Starter costs $19. Jobber suits cleaning companies that quote and invoice larger jobs from $29 a month billed annually, and Maidily is free for up to 10 jobs a month with unlimited users. Janitorial contractors with many sites should look at Swept, which starts at $150 a month; prices were checked as of November 2026.

How this ranking works
One method for every tool. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run hands-on tests. Value carries the most weight.
Full methodThis list is for residential maid services and commercial cleaning contractors choosing software to schedule cleaners, take bookings and invoice clients, compared by monthly cost. Cleaning software is priced in four ways: flat per account (Launch27), per plan with an appointment cap (ZenMaid), per user (Jobber, Housecall Pro), per job volume (Maidily, ServiceM8) and per provider or location (BookingKoala, Swept). We compared documented features and published prices on each vendor's own pages and scored value at 40%, features at 35% and ease of use at 25%. Prices are the cheapest paid plan in USD as shown on November 12, 2026.
The verdict
Most house cleaning businesses should start with ZenMaid, which is built only for maid services and costs $19 a month on Starter or $39 on Pro with unlimited appointments. Pick Jobber if you quote one-off jobs, Maidily or ServiceM8 if you have many cleaners and want to avoid per-seat fees, and BookingKoala if your own booking website brings most sales. Commercial and janitorial firms are better served by Swept for inspections, or Connecteam for low-cost staff scheduling alongside a separate invoicing tool.

Best forcleaning companies that quote and invoice larger jobs
Jobber is the runner-up and the stronger pick for cleaning companies that quote work before they book it, such as move-out, post-construction or office cleans. Core costs $29 a month on annual billing, or $49 month to month, and covers online booking, quotes, invoices with online payments, a simple business website and built-in reporting for one user. Connect, at $99 a month billed annually, adds automated client reminders and automatic payment collection, which matter once you run many recurring visits. Grow, at $149, adds richer quotes, job costing and custom workflow automations. Jobber also connects to more than 100 tools through its app marketplace. The drawback for cleaners is that list prices cover one user, and the product serves many trades, so cleaning-specific features like room checklists are less central than in ZenMaid or Maidily. The free trial runs 14 days with no credit card.
- ✓Core includes booking, quotes, invoicing and a business website for $29 a month billed annually
- ✓Free 14-day trial with no credit card required
- ✓Annual billing saves up to 25%
- ✕Prices are for 1 user, so crews pay more
- ✕Automated reminders and payment collection need Connect at $99 a month billed annually
- ✕Not built only for cleaning, so there are no cleaner checklists on Core
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Core, $29/mo billed annually
- Monthly billing:
- $49/mo for Core
- Free trial:

- Integrations:

Bottom line: Jobber is the best choice for cleaning companies that send quotes because Core covers quotes, invoices and online payments for $29 a month billed annually. Teams should price extra users before signing.

Best forresidential maid services with 1 to 20 cleaners
ZenMaid takes first place because it is the only tool here built solely for maid services that also has the lowest entry price. Starter costs $19 a month and covers calendar, dispatch and map scheduling, a mobile app with a cleaner SOS alert, and invoicing with online payments through Stripe and Square, but it stops at 40 appointments a month. Pro, at $39, removes that cap and adds digital checklists, cleaner GPS tracking, website booking forms, reports, payroll and Spotfinder, which suggests open slots for new recurring clients. Pro Max, at $49, adds PTO tracking, customer service ratings, Mailchimp and Zapier integrations, a branded booking form and priority support. SMS charges are not included on any plan, and QuickBooks sync is still marked as coming soon, so bookkeeping takes an extra step. Plans run month to month, and ZenMaid will import your client list and calendar for free. For a house cleaning company that books recurring visits, Pro at $39 is the plan most owners will end up on.
- ✓Starter costs $19 a month, the lowest paid entry price on this list
- ✓Month-to-month terms with no contract and a 14-day free trial
- ✓Free import of your existing client list and calendar
- ✕Starter caps you at 40 appointments a month
- ✕SMS charges are billed on top of every plan

- Cheapest paid plan:
- Starter, $19/mo
- Starter limit:

Bottom line: ZenMaid is the best choice for residential maid services because Pro gives unlimited appointments, checklists and cleaner GPS tracking for $39 a month. Starter at $19 suits new businesses that book fewer than 40 cleans a month.

Best forcleaning teams with many part-time or contract cleaners
Maidily ranks third and has the best value for teams because it charges by completed jobs instead of by user. The free plan covers up to 10 jobs a month with online booking, the mobile app, invoicing and online payments. Start, at $29 a month, includes 50 jobs, two-way messaging and recurring scheduling, with extra jobs at $3 per 50. Grow, at $49 for 150 jobs, adds QuickBooks, advanced reports, team scheduling, PTO and time tracking. Scale, at $99 for 250 jobs, adds team location tracking, AI-powered scheduling, Airbnb and VRBO integration and API access. Every plan includes unlimited team members, so part-timers and contractors cost nothing extra. The trade-offs are that a busy month pushes you into overage fees, and texting from your own number costs $10 a month on top. Maidily also lists solutions for residential, commercial, vacation rental and specialty cleaning.
- ✓Permanent free plan for up to 10 jobs a month
- ✓Price depends on jobs, not seats, so adding cleaners costs nothing
- ✓Annual billing saves 17%
- ✕Extra jobs cost $3 to $14 per 50 depending on plan
- ✕QuickBooks sync starts on Grow at $49 a month
- ✕Two-way messaging needs a dedicated SMS number at $10 a month
- Free plan:
- Yes, up to 10 jobs/month
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Start, $29/mo for 50 jobs
- Users:
- Unlimited on all plans
- Annual discount:

Bottom line: Maidily is the best choice for cleaning teams with many cleaners because every plan includes unlimited users and Start covers 50 jobs for $29 a month. Very small operators can stay on the free plan up to 10 jobs.

Best forcommercial cleaners who quote, schedule and invoice from phones
ServiceM8 is a strong fit for commercial and janitorial cleaners who run fewer, larger jobs and want the whole crew on one account. The free plan includes one user and 30 jobs a month. Starter costs $29 a month for unlimited users and 50 jobs, Growing costs $79 for 150 jobs and Premium costs $149 for 500 jobs. Every tier lists recurring jobs, deposits, partial and progress invoices, proposals, bundles, forms and certificates, job costing and markup billing, plus an AI writing helper. That covers quoting a contract, scheduling regular visits and invoicing in stages. The catch is the job cap: a residential maid service doing 15 cleans a day would outgrow Starter in less than a week. ServiceM8 is also built for trades in general, so it lacks cleaning-specific booking forms and room checklists. Paid features come with a 14-day free trial.
- ✓Free plan covers 1 user and 30 jobs a month
- ✓Paid plans include unlimited users
- ✓14-day free trial on paid features
- ✕Starter stops at 50 jobs a month, Growing at 150
- ✕Built for trades in general, with no cleaning checklists or booking themes
- ✕No online booking form on the pricing page feature list
- Free plan:
- Yes, 1 user and 30 jobs/month
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Starter, $29/mo
- Users:
- Unlimited on paid plans
- Job caps:
- 50, 150 or 500 jobs/month
Bottom line: ServiceM8 is the best choice for small commercial cleaning crews because Starter gives unlimited users for $29 a month. High-volume residential services will hit the 50-job cap quickly.

Best formaid services that sell mainly through their own website
BookingKoala is built around online sales: the platform gives you a booking form, a drag-and-drop theme builder and a website on your own domain, then adds scheduling, a customer dashboard, campaigns for upsells and tools for hiring providers. Starter starts at $27 a month for 5 providers or 5 GB of storage, Growing starts at $57 with more customization and automation, and Premium starts at $197. Pricing then climbs by provider count or storage, and BookingKoala counts each team member as a provider, so a 20-cleaner team pays well above the starting price. Providers can clock in and out per job with GPS tracking. You can switch plans at any time and the system adjusts the difference. The trade-off is setup time: building a site and booking flow takes longer than connecting a calendar tool. For a maid service that wants customers to book and pay online without phone calls, it is the most complete storefront here.
- ✓Starter costs $27 a month and includes a website
- ✓Upgrade or downgrade at any time with automatic proration
- ✓Free trial before you pay
- ✕Price rises with each provider, and every team member counts as one
- ✕Premium starts at $197 a month
- ✕More setup work than calendar-first tools because it doubles as a website builder
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Starter, from $27/mo
- Starter capacity:
- 5 providers or 5 GB
- Premium:
- From $197/mo
- Free plan:
- No
Bottom line: BookingKoala is the best choice for maid services that sell online because Starter includes a booking website for $27 a month. Larger teams pay more because price scales with providers.

Best forcleaning companies that need staff scheduling and time tracking
Connecteam is on this list for the people side of a cleaning business rather than the customer side. It has a GPS time clock, job scheduling with open shifts, unlimited checklists and forms, and payroll integration, which covers proof that a cleaner arrived and finished each room. The free plan includes all hubs for up to 10 users. The Operations hub Basic plan costs $29 a month for the first 30 users on annual billing, or $35 monthly, with extra users at $0.80 each. Advanced costs $49 and Expert $99 for the first 30 users. The important gap is that Connecteam does not handle customer bookings, quotes or invoices, so most cleaning companies pair it with a billing tool or use it alongside Jobber or Maidily. For a commercial cleaner with 25 staff across several buildings, it is one of the cheapest ways to track hours and checklists.
- ✓Free plan covers all hubs for up to 10 users
- ✓Basic covers the first 30 users for $29 a month billed annually
- ✓Extra users cost $0.80 a month each on Basic
- ✕No customer invoicing or online booking, so you still need a billing tool
- ✕Repeating shifts and templates need Advanced
- ✕Annual billing is required for the lowest price
- Free plan:
- Yes, up to 10 users
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Basic, $29/mo billed annually
- Users included:
- First 30 users
- Extra users:
- $0.80/mo each on Basic
Bottom line: Connecteam is the best choice for staff scheduling in cleaning companies because the free plan covers 10 users and Basic covers 30 for $29 a month billed annually. It does not invoice customers.

Best forresidential cleaners that grow through online reviews
Housecall Pro covers the full job cycle for residential cleaners: customers can book and pay online from Google or your website, and the Basic plan adds scheduling and dispatch, quotes and proposals by text or email, invoices with automated reminders, and review management. Home cleaning and window cleaning are among the industries the vendor lists in its plan finder. Basic costs $59 a month on annual billing for one user, or $79 month to month, and all prices exclude sales tax. That makes it more than twice the entry price of Jobber Core or ZenMaid Pro, which is the main reason it sits seventh on a value-weighted ranking. The 14-day trial needs no credit card. For a cleaning company that wins work mostly through Google reviews and wants booking and review requests in one place, the extra cost can pay back, but budget-focused owners have cheaper options above it.
- ✓Home cleaning is one of the industries it supports by name
- ✓Basic includes review collection tools
- ✓14-day free trial with no credit card
- ✕Basic costs $59 a month billed annually, twice Jobber Core
- ✕Monthly billing raises Basic to $79
- ✕Prices exclude sales tax
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Basic, $59/mo billed annually
- Monthly billing:
- $79/mo for Basic
- Users on Basic:

- Free trial:

Bottom line: Housecall Pro is the best choice for residential cleaners who rely on reviews because Basic bundles online booking and review management for $59 a month billed annually. Cheaper tools cover scheduling and invoicing alone.

Best forjanitorial contractors with multiple client sites
Swept is the specialist for commercial and janitorial cleaning. Optimize starts at $150 a month for up to 15 locations and includes scheduling and shift management, mobile clock in and out, inspections with photo proof, GPS site verification, per-location checklists and location messaging, with the app working in more than 150 languages. Scale starts at $225 and adds a client portal, direct messages and channels with teams and clients, profit and loss by location, supply requests, work orders for one-time cleanings and QuickBooks Online payroll integration. Annual billing saves 20%. Swept prices by the number of locations you clean rather than by users, which suits contractors with large crews but few buildings. It is weaker as a billing tool, since the pricing page lists no customer invoicing, and its entry price is well above residential tools. For a janitorial firm defending contracts with inspection photos, those features justify the cost.
- ✓Built for commercial cleaning, not general trades
- ✓Works in 150+ languages for multilingual crews
- ✓Annual billing saves 20%
- ✕Starts at $150 a month, the highest entry price with a published number here
- ✕Priced by locations, up to 15 on the entry tier
- ✕No customer invoicing on the pricing page; it focuses on operations
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Optimize, from $150/mo
- Locations included:
- Up to 15
- Languages:

- Annual discount:

Bottom line: Swept is the best choice for janitorial contractors because Optimize adds photo inspections and GPS site checks for up to 15 locations from $150 a month. Residential maid services will pay less elsewhere.

Best forcleaning companies with a busy phone line
Workiz covers scheduling, jobs, estimates and invoices on its Standard plan with unlimited jobs and invoices, plus 5 automations. Pro adds performance pay for technicians, 10 automations, Genius lead and scheduling tools and custom reports. Ultimate adds checklists, multi-day jobs, franchise management, an open API, equipment tracking and purchase orders. Genius Answering, sold separately, answers calls and inbox messages in English, Spanish and French, which helps cleaning companies that lose bookings to missed calls. The problem for a list ranked by monthly cost is that Workiz publishes no prices: each plan shows request pricing, so we could not verify a USD figure and score its value conservatively. The vendor says annual plans save more than $400. Ask for a written quote for your team size before comparing it with the published prices above.
- ✓Unlimited jobs and invoices on every plan
- ✓Answering add-on handles calls in English, Spanish and French
- ✓Annual plans save more than $400 according to the vendor
- ✕No prices published; every plan says request pricing
- ✕Automations are capped at 5 on Standard

Best forestablished house cleaning companies running booking-led marketing
Launch27 is aimed at house cleaning companies that sell through a booking form on their own website. Base costs $75 a month, or $765 a year, and includes unlimited users and bookings, a booking form you can embed in WordPress, Squarespace, Wix or Facebook, customer, cleaner and office logins, coupons and discounts, automated email reminders, and a payroll manager with revenue split and commission reports. Pro, at $150, removes Launch27 branding from the form and adds QuickBooks, Zapier and Google Calendar integrations, gift cards, text reminders and automated review requests. Plus, at $299, adds a referral engine and automatic card charging. Annual billing saves 15%. The value problem is clear: ZenMaid Pro and Maidily Start include booking, invoicing and payments for less than half of Base, and Launch27 holds accounting sync back for Pro. It still suits larger maid services that live on promotions and want unlimited seats at a flat price.
- ✓Unlimited users and bookings on every plan
- ✓Payroll with revenue split reporting on Base
- ✓Annual billing saves 15%
- ✕Base costs $75 a month, the highest residential entry price here
- ✕Base booking form carries Launch27 branding
- ✕QuickBooks, Zapier and text reminders need Pro at $150 a month
- Cheapest paid plan:
- Base, $75/mo
- Annual price:
- $765/year on Base
- Users and bookings:
- Unlimited
- Annual discount:
- 15%
Bottom line: Launch27 is the best choice for maid services that run heavy promotions because Base includes coupons, discounts and unlimited users for $75 a month. Smaller teams get more for less from ZenMaid or Maidily.
What to check before you pay
Count cleaners and jobs before comparing prices
A $29 headline can mean very different things. Jobber Core covers 1 user, ServiceM8 Starter covers unlimited users but 50 jobs a month, Maidily Start covers unlimited users and 50 jobs, and BookingKoala Starter covers 5 providers. A maid service doing 300 cleans a month with 12 cleaners should price its real volume on each.
Residential and commercial cleaners need different tools
Residential services need online booking, recurring visits and card payments, which ZenMaid, Maidily, BookingKoala and Launch27 focus on. Commercial contractors need site inspections, GPS clock-ins and checklists across buildings, which is where Swept and Connecteam are stronger.
Check that invoicing is included
Connecteam and Swept focus on staff and site operations and do not list customer invoicing on their pricing pages. ZenMaid, Maidily, Jobber, ServiceM8 and Housecall Pro include invoicing with online payments on their entry plans.
Budget for texting and accounting sync
ZenMaid bills SMS on top of every plan, Maidily charges $10 a month for a dedicated SMS number, and QuickBooks sync starts on Maidily Grow at $49 and Launch27 Pro at $150. Card processing fees on invoices are extra on every tool.
Compare annual and monthly billing
Annual billing saves up to 25% on Jobber, 20% on Swept, 18% on Connecteam, 17% on Maidily and 15% on Launch27. ZenMaid runs month to month with no contract, which suits businesses that are still testing demand.
