Best Quoting App for Cleaning Businesses (2026): 6 Options Compared

The best quoting app for a cleaning business is the one that gets a price in front of the client before they ask someone else. For most solo cleaners and small teams, that means three things: a calculator that already knows what a deep clean or a move-out costs, a quote the client can open and approve on their phone, and a way to turn that quote into an invoice they can pay by card.

We compared six tools cleaners actually use in 2026: what each one costs, who it suits, and where it falls short. We make Quotefy, and it is on this list. We have tried to be fair to the others. Several of them are better than Quotefy for some kinds of business, and we say which ones.

Prices are the entry plans each company advertised when we last checked. Software prices change, so confirm on their sites before you sign up.

Most cleaners don't lose jobs because their price is wrong. They lose jobs because the price arrives late. A homeowner who messages three cleaners usually books the first one who sends a clear, professional number. So judge any app by how quickly it gets you from "how much for a deep clean?" to a quote in the client's hands.

• Cleaning-specific pricing. Packages (standard, deep, move-out, Airbnb turnover), rooms and add-ons like inside the oven or fridge, already set up. You should not have to build a price list from nothing.
• Quotes the client can approve. A link that opens on a phone, shows every line item and has an approve button beats a PDF attachment that gets lost in email.
• Quote to invoice in one step. Once the job is done, the approved quote should become the invoice without retyping anything.
• Card payments. Clients pay faster when they can tap a button. Chasing checks and Venmo requests costs you hours every month.
• Works from your phone. You quote between jobs, in the car, or standing in the client's kitchen.
• A price that matches your size. A solo cleaner does not need route optimization or payroll. Paying for it every month eats your margin.

Quotefy is built only for cleaning businesses. When you sign up and pick your state, it fills in a price list (packages, rooms and add-ons) adjusted for prices in your area. Building a quote is a few taps: pick the client, tap the job, add extras, and the total is worked out. You send it as a text or an email, the client opens it on their phone, sees every line item and taps approve. You get an email the moment they say yes. Then you turn the quote into an invoice and they pay by card.

Pick it if you are a solo cleaner or a small crew and your real bottleneck is quoting quickly and getting paid.

ZenMaid is field-service software made for maid services. Its strength is the calendar: assigning cleaners to jobs, recurring appointments, customer notes and history. It is a mature product that teams of two to ten cleaners rely on.

The trade-off for a solo cleaner is price and focus. Starter is $19 a month plus $4 per cleaner, with an appointment cap on the entry plan, and there is no built-in pricing calculator, so you still work out each price yourself. Pick it if you have cleaners to schedule and dispatch and that is your main headache. See our Quotefy vs ZenMaid comparison.

Jobber is one of the best field-service platforms there is: quotes, scheduling, routing, a client portal, native mobile apps and solid QuickBooks integration. It serves plumbers, landscapers and electricians as well as cleaners, so the workflow is general rather than built around cleaning jobs.

It starts at $49 a month (Core), and the plans most growing teams want cost $99–$169. Setup takes real time. Pick it if you run several trades or a cleaning company with five or more people and want one system for everything. See Quotefy vs Jobber.

Housecall Pro covers the full job lifecycle: online booking, scheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoicing, payments, reviews and marketing tools. Like Jobber it is built for many home-service trades, and it is priced for businesses with a team and steady volume, starting around $65 a month for one user.

Pick it if you have employees and you want booking, marketing and operations in one place. For a one-person business it is more software than you will use. See Quotefy vs Housecall Pro.

MaidGrow does one thing well: it gives you a quick price on your phone. Its time-based approach suits cleaners who think in hours, and it was built by people who run cleaning businesses.

The catch is everything after the number. There is no invoicing, no online card payments and no branded PDF, so you still write up and send the quote yourself and chase payment. It is billed weekly at $7.99, which works out to about $35 a month. Pick it if you only want a calculator and you are happy handling quotes and payments by hand. See Quotefy vs MaidGrow.

Connecteam often shows up in "cleaning software" lists, but it solves a different problem. It manages employees: clock-in and out, shift scheduling, time off, training and team chat. It has no quoting, invoicing or client payments.

It is free for up to 10 users, which makes it a good companion to a quoting tool once you hire. Pick it if you have hourly employees to manage, and pair it with something else for quotes. See Quotefy vs Connecteam.

• Just you, or you and a helper: start with a free quoting tool like Quotefy. Spend the money you save on supplies or marketing.
• 2–10 cleaners on a schedule: ZenMaid, or Jobber if you also want routing and a client portal.
• 5+ employees, several services, steady volume: Jobber or Housecall Pro.
• Only want a number on your phone: MaidGrow.
• Need to track employee hours: add Connecteam alongside whichever quoting tool you pick.

Whatever you choose, test it the way you will actually use it: open it on your phone, build a quote for a real 3-bedroom deep clean, and send it to yourself. If that takes longer than a couple of minutes, keep looking.
