The best cleaning business software for cleaning companies

This is Koira's own list, and Koira is on it, first. The order after Koira is not a score: each tool is here because cleaning companies look at it, and the table says who it suits.

Prices as each company's own pricing page showed them on October 29, 2026, monthly billing first, in US dollars. Prices change often, so check the page before you buy. Koira's prices are from Koira pricing.

Best for: one to three crew cleaning companies that want to start free and add the phone and follow-ups when they are ready.

Customers book on your Koira site on every plan, and the day before, Koira asks the customer to confirm or move the visit; they reply C or R. On Front Office, recurring cleans are sold as a plan, billed on the card on file, and each team sees its own stops and clocks in, with no per-person fee.

• Price: Office free; Grow $249 a month plus usage at cost; Front Office $499 a month flat, usage included.
• Free plan or trial: Office is free, with no trial clock.
• How the price grows: no per-person fee on any plan. Card payments: 2.9% + 30¢ (Stripe) plus 2% on Office, 1% on Grow, 0.5% on Front Office (Koira); on Office that share replaces a monthly fee.
• Worth knowing: Koira does not do payroll, inventory or a dispatch board for a call center.

This is Koira's list, written by Koira, and Koira is on it. We say that first because it matters when you read the rest. Koira is listed first because it is ours; the other tools follow in no ranked order, and none paid to be here.

The others are the tools cleaning companies look at most: specialists built for the trade (ZenMaid), and general field service apps that list the trade among the industries on their own site.

Every price, plan name, trial and pricing model was read on October 29, 2026 from the company's own pricing page, as raw page text. When a company publishes no price, we say so and link the page instead of guessing. Who each company is for and what sits on which plan come from its own pages too, checked between October 8 and October 29, 2026. We did not use review sites or third-party price lists, and we did not test every tool hands on. How Koira makes its data is on the methodology page.

Cleaning is recurring work with many small messages. Ask each company how a regular clean is confirmed the day before and moved when the customer cannot make it.

Then price it at your real team size: ZenMaid prices by cleaners, Markate by employee, ServiceM8 by jobs, Jobber and Housecall Pro by plan, and Koira with no per-person fee.
