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, mark it paid, and do it again on a recurring schedule. Same calculator strength, plus everything that comes after.

- No state-specific default rates — you set your own hourly wage
Pick Quotefy when
You want the calculator AND the rest of running a cleaning business in one tool. You want clients to pay by card from the email. You want a recurring weekly client to get auto-invoiced without you remembering.
Pick MaidGrow when
You only want a phone-based calculator and you handle invoicing/payments via Venmo, cash, and Word docs. $7.99/mo is hard to beat if that's your full workflow.
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 × job-type-multiplier × frequency-discount. 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.
