Visit MaidGrow ↗TL;DR — our verdict
MaidGrow is genuinely good at what it does — give a cleaner a quick number on their phone. Quotefy starts where MaidGrow stops: turn that number into a branded PDF, send it to the customer, accept their card, and mark it paid. Same calculator strength, plus everything that comes after — and at $29/mo it costs less than MaidGrow's $7.99/week.

MaidGrow pricing as of last verification: $7.99/week ≈ $34.61/mo (after 7-day trial). Billed weekly, not monthly — the App Store listing states $7.99 per week. Native iOS / Android only.
Where MaidGrow wins
- Low weekly entry price — $7.99 feels small at the point of sale
- Time-based logic that maps cleanly to how some cleaners think
- Native mobile apps, simple UI, fast to use on the job
- Built by an actual cleaning-business operator (Cleaning Business Academy)
Where MaidGrow falls short
- No invoicing — you still email a separate quote and chase payment
- No online payment processing — clients pay by check, Venmo, or in-person
- No PDF export with your branding
- Mobile-only — no desktop / web access
- No state-specific default rates — you set your own hourly wage
- Billed weekly — $7.99/week works out to about $34.61/mo, more than Quotefy's $29 for a calculator alone
Pick Quotefy when
You want the calculator AND the rest of quoting and billing in one tool. You want clients to pay by card straight from the email. You'd rather pay $29/mo for the whole workflow than $34.61/mo for a calculator on its own.
Pick MaidGrow when
You want a native iOS/Android app rather than mobile web, you only need the calculator, and you handle invoicing and payments via Venmo, cash, and Word docs.
Common questions
Is Quotefy's calculator better than MaidGrow's?
+
Different models. MaidGrow uses time × hourly rate (your hourly rate × preset minutes per room). Quotefy uses a composite formula: base + per-sqft + per-room, multiplied by a job-type multiplier for standard, deep, move-out, Airbnb or post-construction cleans, plus itemised add-ons. Quotefy ships per-state default rates anchored to BLS OEWS wage data so a first-time visitor gets a real number with zero configuration. Either model can produce a defensible price.
Can I use MaidGrow's calculator and Quotefy for invoicing?
+
Yes, but it's two tools and two subscriptions. If you're already happy with MaidGrow's calculator, skip the calculator part of Quotefy and just use it for estimates/invoices/payments. Or use Quotefy's calculator and skip MaidGrow.
Does MaidGrow do online payments?
+
No. MaidGrow is calculator + customer list. Online card payments require a separate processor (Stripe, Square) wired up by you. Quotefy includes Stripe Connect — clients pay by card, funds hit your bank in 2 business days.
