Residential maid services, commercial janitorial crews, and specialty cleaning contractors use QuoteIQ to quote faster, schedule recurring routes, document every job, and collect payment online — all from one app.
Quick Answer: The best software for cleaning businesses in 2026 combines tiered estimates, satellite measurement, recurring scheduling and billing, and photo documentation in one app. QuoteIQ does that from $29.99 a month, with Options Estimates on every plan, MapMeasure Pro from the Beginner plan up, and Invoice Subscriptions for recurring clients.
TL;DR: Cleaning companies win on fast quotes, dependable recurring routes, and proof of work. QuoteIQ covers each: tiered Options Estimates and MapMeasure Pro for quoting, Scheduling with Invoice Subscriptions for recurring clients, QuoteIQ Cam for before-and-after photos, Job Costing for margins on Pro and up, and Route Optimization for drive time on Elite and up. Plans run $29.99 to $699 a month, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial of the features in the plan you choose. Demand is steady: the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 321,800 janitor and building cleaner openings a year, and OSHA requires employers to keep safety data sheets for the hazardous chemicals crews use.
If you run a cleaning business and you are searching for the best software for cleaning businesses in 2026, QuoteIQ was built for the way you actually work. From the first recurring weekly appointment to the final move-out deep clean, cleaning companies juggle scheduling across multiple crews, recurring billing, supply inventory, customer communication, and quality documentation. QuoteIQ pulls the core of that into one platform — estimates, scheduling, invoicing, online payments, customer communication, and review requests — so you can stop juggling separate tools and stop losing jobs to slow follow-up.
Cleaning work is not a one-time repair ticket. A homeowner comparing a $125 weekly maintenance visit with a $565 premium move-out package needs to see the choice side by side. QuoteIQ Options Estimates, included on every plan, let you show two or three service tiers on one proposal — a standard clean, a deep clean with baseboards and blinds, and a premium package with interior windows and appliances — so the customer picks a tier instead of answering yes or no to a single price. If you would rather bundle a recurring visit with add-ons, Package Estimates does that, and the same estimate builder also covers Standard Estimates and Quick Estimates for simple jobs.
MapMeasure Pro (Beginner plan and above) pulls a property’s square footage from satellite imagery before the truck rolls. For commercial janitorial bids on office complexes and multi-unit buildings, accurate square footage drives accurate pricing — no more underquoting a 12,000 square foot facility because you eyeballed it during a walkthrough. Add Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access, also Beginner and above, to check a property before you visit it.
Inventory Management (Elite plan and above) covers your cleaning supply chain — chemicals, microfiber towels, mop heads, vacuum bags, and specialty products — across products, locations such as trucks and storage rooms, suppliers, orders, and transactions. Set reorder points so you never show up to a job without the right supplies. Stock is deducted when an invoice is marked paid (a deposit does not count as paid), so pair it with Expense Tracking to log every supply purchase against the job it supported.
Pipelines & Deals (Elite plan and above; the app calls it Deals) gives cleaning companies a visual tracker for commercial proposals. Move opportunities through stages from the first walkthrough to a signed contract and see probability-weighted forecasts across the pipeline, where weighted value is the deal amount multiplied by its close probability.
QuoteIQ was built by Co-Founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers as a CRM by home service contractors, for home service contractors. The AI Before & After generator turns a job photo into a realistic “after” preview in about 15 to 20 seconds — dirty grout to clean tile, a stained carpet to fresh fibers — that you can attach to an estimate to help a customer picture the result; each generation shows its IQ Credit cost first. QuoteIQ Cam handles the other half, documenting the real before-and-after of the work you actually did. Contract Attachments (Beginner and above) attach recurring service agreements, scope-of-work documents, and liability waivers to estimates, and customers approve them with E-Signatures on their phone.
Demand for cleaning labor is not going away. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 321,800 openings for janitors and building cleaners each year, on average, from 2025 to 2035, even though employment growth is a slower-than-average 2 percent. In a market that steady and that crowded, the companies that respond first with a professional, tiered proposal are the ones that capture the work.
Every card shows the plan each feature starts on, so you know what you are buying before you start a trial.
Present Standard Clean, Deep Clean, and Move-Out Premium tiers on one proposal. Show a $125 weekly maintenance visit next to a $325 deep clean with baseboards and blinds and let the customer choose.
Learn more →Measure square footage from satellite imagery before you drive out, then bring the measurement straight into the estimate. Offices, retail spaces, and apartment complexes get priced per square foot instead of per guess.
Learn more →Track chemicals, microfiber, vacuum bags, and specialty products across trucks and storage locations, with reorder points and In Stock, Low, and Out indicators.
Learn more →Price − Labor − Expenses = Profit on every job. A $325 deep clean with $112 in labor and $28 in supplies leaves $185, a 56.9% margin, visible before month-end.
Learn more →Bundle a recurring weekly clean with add-ons such as interior windows, refrigerator, or oven detailing. A $185 visit plus $155 in add-ons becomes a $340 ticket.
Learn more →Turn a job photo into a realistic “after” preview in about 15 to 20 seconds and attach it to an estimate or invoice. Each generation shows its credit cost before it runs.
Learn more →A drag-and-drop calendar for recurring routes, where you can move a single occurrence without touching the rest of the series. On Elite and above, InstaSchedule lets customers self-book real openings 24/7.
Learn more →Capture pre-clean and post-clean photos organized by job and date, add annotations, build inspection forms and job reports, and store unlimited 4K photo and video in the cloud.
Learn more →Bill recurring clients automatically with discounts, tax, fees, and deposits handled. Convert an accepted estimate into a recurring subscription in one step.
Learn more →Run the CRM by voice or text with 55 integrated tools across 13 categories. Try a command like “Invoice all of today’s completed jobs and send them.”
Learn more →An AI phone team that answers inbound calls 24/7, qualifies leads, records and transcribes every call, and runs outbound call campaigns. It is metered in IQ Credits at 125 credits per minute.
Learn more →Track commercial proposals from walkthrough to signed contract on a kanban board. A $4,500-per-month office bid at 60% probability shows $2,700 in weighted value; Elite runs up to 5 pipelines and Max is unlimited.
Learn more →Here is how a typical day can look for a cleaning company using QuoteIQ to manage residential and commercial accounts. The numbers below are an illustrative example, not a benchmark — your prices, labor rates, and margins will differ.
The owner opens the scheduling calendar at 6:30 AM and sees every team member’s stops for the day. On Elite and above, Route Optimization sequences the appointments for minimum drive time, and EmployeeHub shows GPS-verified clock-ins as crews head out. Crew A has seven residential cleans. Crew B has a commercial office and two Airbnb turnovers.
Before the first mop touches the floor, Crew A uses QuoteIQ Cam to photograph the pre-clean condition — stained kitchen counters, dusty baseboards, pet hair on furniture. The photos are organized by job and date, and post-clean photos document the result. If a client ever claims damage to a fixture or surface, the pre-clean evidence is already on file, and Inspection Forms add a checklist for each visit.
A homeowner asks for a quote through your InstaQuote link (Elite and above). The owner checks the property on MapMeasure Pro — 2,400 square feet, two stories — and sends an Options Estimate with three tiers: Standard at $155 per visit, Enhanced with baseboards and blinds at $245, and Premium with interior windows and appliance interiors at $385. A Before & After AI preview of the kitchen helps the homeowner picture the result. They pick Premium and e-sign the recurring service agreement, attached with Contract Attachments.
During the third residential stop, the homeowner asks if the crew can also clean the inside of the refrigerator and oven. The crew leader opens Package Estimates and adds the appliance add-ons to the weekly clean — $80 in added revenue against $22 in supplies. Job Costing (Pro and above) shows the margin on the spot: $58 in profit, or 72.5%.
At 3 PM the owner checks Job Costing for the day’s completed jobs. Crew A’s seven residential cleans brought in $1,540 against $486 in labor and $67 in supplies — $987 in profit, a 64.1% margin. Crew B’s commercial office ran longer than estimated and landed at a 42% margin, a signal to adjust the price at renewal. Expense Tracking (Beginner and above) logs each supply purchase against the job it supported.
Review Multiplier sends review requests after paid invoices. Business Analytics shows the week’s numbers — in this example, $7,200 in revenue across 38 completed jobs. The owner then sends a seasonal deep-clean offer to past customers with Mass Campaigns (Elite and above, sent through your own connected SMS and email gateways).
Every part of that workflow — from route review to documentation to upsells to reviews — runs inside one platform. The estimate, the schedule, the photos, the invoice, and the customer’s texts (through ClientHub, Pro and above) all live in one login, so nothing gets rebuilt in a spreadsheet at night.
“If you’re losing two jobs a month because follow-up falls through the cracks, and each job is worth $300, that’s $7,200 a year from one failure point. Most $150,000-plus businesses have four or five failure points like that running simultaneously.”
— Justin Rogers, Co-Founder, QuoteIQ · Full insights →Cleaning companies price work three ways, and most use all three. Flat per-visit pricing suits recurring residential clients who know what they get every week. Hourly pricing — labor hours multiplied by a billing rate — suits deep cleans, move-outs, and any scope that varies from house to house. Per-square-foot pricing suits commercial janitorial bids, where the size of the space drives the labor, and it only works when the measurement is right, which is why MapMeasure Pro earns its place in the estimate workflow. Whichever model you use, price from your own costs, not from a competitor’s website.
QuoteIQ’s Job Costing report uses one formula: Total Price − Labor − Expenses = Profit, with labor calculated from tracked time and expenses linked to the job. Here is an illustrative deep clean. The price is $325. Two cleaners working three and a half hours is 7 labor hours, and at an assumed $16 an hour that is $112 in labor. Supplies add $28. That leaves $185 in profit, a 56.9% margin.
| Line item (illustrative deep clean) | Amount |
|---|---|
| Customer price | $325 |
| Labor: 7 hours at an assumed $16 an hour | − $112 |
| Supplies and consumables | − $28 |
| Profit | $185 |
| Margin | 56.9% |
The $16 in that example is an assumption. For context, the BLS reports a 2025 median wage of $17.71 an hour for janitors and building cleaners, and your true labor cost is higher once payroll taxes, insurance, and mileage are added. On mileage alone, the IRS business rate is 76 cents per mile from July 1, 2026, so a crew that drives 30 miles between stops adds $22.80 to the day before anyone picks up a mop. That is the reason job-level margin has to be visible to the owner, not buried in month-end bookkeeping.
Sanity-check a price with the free house cleaning cost calculator or the carpet cleaning cost calculator, keep the built-in Business Calculators handy on the job, and let AI Estimator draft line-item pricing from property photos. Then present the result as tiers with Options Estimates or as a bundle with Package Estimates. If you are still invoicing on paper, the free house cleaning invoice template is a stopgap until you move to Invoicing inside the same system that holds the estimate. For adjacent services, the home service business calculators hub also lists calculators for air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and gutter cleaning.
Recurring accounts are the cash-flow engine of a cleaning business because each client keeps paying without a new sales effort. This table shows the annual value of one client at an illustrative $155 visit price, and what 20 such clients add up to.
| Frequency | Visits per year | Annual value per client | 20 clients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly | 52 | $8,060 | $161,200 |
| Bi-weekly | 26 | $4,030 | $80,600 |
| Monthly | 12 | $1,860 | $37,200 |
Lose one weekly client and you lose $8,060 a year, which is why follow-up and retention deserve software, not sticky notes. QuoteIQ’s Scheduling calendar builds the recurring series, and you can drag a single occurrence to a new day without touching the rest. Invoice Subscriptions bill each client on schedule, and an accepted estimate converts into a recurring subscription in one step. On Elite and above, InstaSchedule lets new clients book real openings on your calendar around the clock.
Retention tools sit one plan up. Email & Text Automations (Pro and above) send event-triggered, multi-step follow-ups, and you can describe an automation in plain language and have it built for you. The Client Portal (Pro and above) gives each customer a secure link to view estimates, pay invoices, see appointments, and request service without downloading an app. Ask AI Autopilot to move a day’s jobs and text every affected customer with one command, and use Review Multiplier to keep new review requests flowing so the next prospect sees proof that your recurring clients stay.
Cleaning companies that serve both residential and commercial clients face a real split: the sales cycle, pricing model, and billing cadence are different for each. A residential deep clean is often a one-call close completed in a few hours by a two-person crew. A commercial janitorial contract is a multi-step sale — a property walkthrough, square-footage math, scope negotiation, a signed agreement, and monthly billing. QuoteIQ handles both from one account, and the commercial cleaning software and commercial cleaning business software pages go deeper on the janitorial side.
The math on commercial work compounds quickly: three contracts averaging $3,500 a month add $126,000 in annual revenue. For a quality benchmark you can build your inspection routine around, ISSA, the cleaning industry’s trade association, publishes the Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS). QuoteIQ does not certify you to any standard, but documented inspections and job photos organized by date are the kind of records a management system depends on.
As a cleaning company grows from one owner-operator to several crews, crew management becomes the operational bottleneck. QuoteIQ’s EmployeeHub (Elite plan and above, up to 10 users) centralizes GPS location tracking while your team is clocked in, Time Tracker Pro for GPS clock-in and clock-out with per-job hours and break counts, and team communication for one-on-one and group chats tied to jobs. Clocked-out employees never appear on the map, and roles and permissions control which features each user can open.
Two cleaners handling 5 to 7 homes a day, focused on deep cleans, move-outs, and premium recurring accounts, at an illustrative average ticket of $285. Time Tracker Pro logs hours per job, and GPS confirms arrival at each stop.
Three cleaners handling 8 to 10 standard maintenance cleans a day, at an illustrative average ticket of $145. Route Optimization sequences the stops for minimum windshield time, and Route Density shows which areas hold the most existing clients, guiding where to market next.
Handles commercial walkthrough bids and new residential consultations, using MapMeasure Pro for pre-visit measurement, Options Estimates for tiered proposals, and Pipelines & Deals to track bids to signature. On the Max plan, the Sales Tracker adds commission percentages and conversion metrics per rep.
Know the limits so you can plan around them. Crew Creation, Crew Tracking, and Crew Scheduling with crew-level analytics are Max features; on Pro and Elite you assign work to individual team members. QuoteIQ tracks hours but it is not a payroll system and does not calculate overtime automatically, so export your hours to the payroll tool you already use. That matters because the U.S. Department of Labor requires overtime pay at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. How you classify your cleaners matters just as much: the IRS looks at behavioral control, financial control, and the type of relationship to decide whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor.
Safety is part of the job too. OSHA’s cleaning industry overview covers hazards such as chemical exposure and equipment dangers, and its Hazard Communication standard requires employers to keep safety data sheets available for the hazardous chemicals employees use. Inventory Management gives you a clean list of which products you stock and where they are — on which truck or in which storage room — while you keep the safety data sheets themselves in your own compliance files. When you choose products, the EPA’s Safer Choice program helps you find ones made with safer ingredients.
Channel 1: Recurring residential — the cash flow engine. A single recurring client paying $155 per weekly visit generates $8,060 a year. Twenty of them produce $161,200 in annualized revenue that bills itself through Invoice Subscriptions. On Elite and above, InstaSchedule lets new clients book themselves into your recurring availability 24/7, and the house cleaning software page covers residential-specific workflows in more detail.
Channel 2: Commercial janitorial contracts — high volume, high predictability. Offices, medical facilities, retail stores, and apartment common areas buy cleaning on monthly contracts. Three contracts averaging $3,500 a month add $126,000 in annual revenue. Pipelines & Deals tracks every proposal from walkthrough to signed deal, and MapMeasure Pro keeps your square-footage pricing honest. The back-office side of taking on bigger accounts — financial management, hiring, taxes, and legal compliance — is covered in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s manage-your-business guide.
Channel 3: Specialty services — move-outs, post-construction, and turnovers. Move-out cleans, post-construction cleanup, Airbnb turnovers, and seasonal deep-clean campaigns are scoped one-time jobs, which makes per-job margin easy to see in Job Costing before you commit to a repeat price. AI Estimator drafts pricing for specialty jobs from scope photos and property details, and Mass Campaigns let you send a spring deep-clean offer to a segmented customer list.
“Same day. Not tomorrow morning — same day. Whoever sends a clear, specific estimate first is the one the customer starts comparing everyone else to. That’s a psychological anchor, and it’s real.”
— Mike Vidan, Co-Founder, QuoteIQ · Full insights →Before you spend on marketing, size the competition. The Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns reports the number of establishments by industry, and its Nonemployer Statistics cover businesses with no paid employees — the solo operators you are most likely to meet on price. The cleaning industry also has a trust problem that documentation solves. Homeowners invite crews into private spaces and property managers grant after-hours access, so every visit carries implied liability. QuoteIQ Cam photos, Inspection Forms completed before and after every job, and e-signed service agreements with scope-of-work attachments create a paper trail that protects both sides — and before-and-after photos become marketing material.
Cleaning revenue swings with the calendar, and the companies that plan their outreach ahead of each surge smooth the swings out. Here is how the four big seasons map to QuoteIQ tools.
Send a seasonal offer to your past customers with Mass Campaigns (Elite and above). Campaigns run through your own connected accounts — Twilio for SMS, including A2P 10DLC registration and carrier fees, and SendGrid for email — so set them up before the season starts.
Move-outs arrive with short notice. Keep Options Estimates templates ready for move-out tiers, and let the Virtual Call Team answer and qualify calls while your crews are on site.
November and December bring hosting-driven demand. Trigger follow-ups with Email & Text Automations (Pro and above) and let customers self-book with InstaSchedule (Elite and above).
These jobs follow local building cycles, so relationships with builders matter. Track builder and property-manager opportunities in Pipelines & Deals and check margins per job with Job Costing.
Whatever the season, Review Multiplier keeps social proof current, and AI Autopilot handles busywork such as rescheduling a day’s jobs and texting every affected customer by command.
The right software for cleaning businesses does more than schedule appointments and send invoices. It removes the friction that shows up as missed follow-ups, underpriced commercial bids, inconsistent documentation, and supply shortages. Use these questions with any vendor, QuoteIQ included.
Run the same eight questions against every option and the differences show up quickly. The QuoteIQ feature directory lists every tool by name, and the industry directory shows how the platform adapts to other trades.
Beyond the headline features, QuoteIQ includes dozens of smaller tools that remove steps from a cleaning company’s week. Here they are in the order a job moves through your business, with the plan each one starts on noted where it matters.
Quote. Every plan includes Standard Estimates, Quick Estimates, Options Estimates, and Package Estimates, plus the AI Estimator and the Client Database. From Beginner up, add MapMeasure Pro, Property Street View, and Zillow Quick Access for property research. On Pro, Website Contact Forms capture leads from your site, and on Elite, InstaQuote lets customers quote themselves.
Schedule and route. Scheduling keeps the calendar moving on every plan, reminders and tasks keep follow-ups from slipping, and Google Calendar Sync mirrors the schedule to the calendar you already use. On Elite and above, Route Optimization and Route Density cut drive time and show where clients cluster, and InstaSchedule takes bookings around the clock.
Deliver and document. QuoteIQ Cam, Inspection Forms, and the Before & After Photo Editor give you proof of condition and proof of completion, while the AI Before & After generator previews the result for the customer.
Bill and collect. Invoicing, Invoice Subscriptions, and Online Payments run on every plan, along with Tips on invoices, E-Signatures, and Consumer Financing for larger jobs. Contract Attachments start on Beginner, and the QuickBooks Online integration starts on Pro.
Grow and retain. The AI Text Generator and AI Autopilot work on every plan, and Review Multiplier sends review requests after paid invoices. ClientHub, Email & Text Automations, and the Client Portal start on Pro, and Mass Campaigns start on Elite. Track results in Business Analytics.
Team and back office. Expense Tracking starts on Beginner. On Elite, EmployeeHub adds crew hours and location, and Inventory Management covers supplies. Bring your data in with AI Smart Import and take it out any time with Export Data. Everything runs on iOS, Android, and the web, and the mobile and web access page explains the parity.
Cleaning covers more than one trade. If your work leans toward a specialty, see the QuoteIQ pages for carpet cleaning, window cleaning, pressure washing, air duct cleaning, tile and grout, and trash bin cleaning. Owners who want a site to match can build one with the AI Website Builder, a $34.99-per-month add-on that is included on Max.

A solo cleaner can start on Essentials at $29.99 per month, which covers estimates, invoicing, recurring subscriptions, scheduling, e-signatures, and every AI tool for one user. A two-person operation moves to Beginner at $74.99 for MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, Expense Tracking, and Contract Attachments.

Growing cleaning companies that need route optimization, inventory tracking, customer self-booking, Pipelines & Deals, and EmployeeHub should look at the Elite plan at $299 per month for up to 10 users. Companies that need crew scheduling, a sales tracker, or unlimited seats choose the Max plan at $699 per month, which also includes the AI Website Builder and four additional businesses. The AI tools run on monthly IQ Credits included in every plan, and each AI action shows its credit cost before it runs and asks you to confirm.
Comparing QuoteIQ with other field service platforms? Rates, included users, add-ons, and trial terms change often, so pull current numbers straight from each vendor’s own pricing page rather than from a blog post. Jobber, Housecall Pro, and ServiceTitan are three platforms cleaning companies often evaluate, and the QuoteIQ comparison hub has side-by-side pages for the tools owners ask about most. When you compare, line up the same headcount and the same feature list, and ask whether recurring billing, photo documentation, job costing, and route planning are included or sold separately.
The best software for cleaning businesses in 2026 is the one that handles recurring work from quote to payment, and QuoteIQ is built for exactly that, from $29.99 a month. Options Estimates and Package Estimates let you sell Standard, Deep Clean, and Premium tiers on one proposal, MapMeasure Pro measures square footage from satellite imagery before you drive out (Beginner plan and above), and Invoice Subscriptions bill weekly and bi-weekly clients automatically. QuoteIQ Cam documents pre-clean and post-clean conditions, Job Costing shows profit per job on Pro and up, and AI Autopilot runs the CRM by voice or text with 55 tools across 13 categories. The work is not going away: the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 321,800 janitor and building cleaner openings a year from 2025 to 2035. See the plans and pricing to match a plan to your headcount, then start a 14-day trial.
QuoteIQ costs $29.99 to $699 a month depending on the plan, priced per plan rather than per seat: Essentials is $29.99 for 1 user, Beginner is $74.99 for 2 users, Pro is $149.99 for 4 users, Elite is $299 for 10 users, and Max is $699 for unlimited users. Annual billing is $299.99, $749.99, $1,499.99, $2,990, and $6,990 respectively. Most cleaning teams of two to four people land on Pro, which adds Job Costing, ClientHub, Email and Text Automations, the QuickBooks Online integration, and the Client Portal. Elite adds Route Optimization, Inventory Management, InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, and Pipelines and Deals. Other vendors price differently, so ask each for current prices, included users, and add-ons on its own pricing page, and check the SBA’s manage-your-business guide when you budget software against cash flow.
Yes. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose, one trial per person, business and payment method. A credit or debit card is required to start. The trial converts to paid at the selected plan’s rate unless you cancel before it ends, and you can cancel at any time during the trial; there are no contracts or cancellation fees, and you cancel from your account settings. Choose the plan that matches what you want to test: Pro at $149.99 a month includes Job Costing, ClientHub, and the QuickBooks Online integration, while Elite at $299 a month adds Route Optimization, Inventory Management, and InstaSchedule for larger teams. During the trial, bring in your customers with AI Smart Import, send a tiered Options Estimate, and measure a property with MapMeasure Pro. To gauge how many solo competitors work in your market, the Census Bureau’s Nonemployer Statistics report on businesses with no paid employees.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s Scheduling calendar supports recurring appointments, and you can drag a single occurrence of a recurring series to a new day without touching the rest of the series. Invoice Subscriptions bill each recurring client automatically with discounts, tax, fees, and deposits handled, and an accepted estimate converts into a recurring subscription in one step. On Elite and above, InstaSchedule lets new clients book real openings on your calendar 24/7, Route Optimization sequences the day’s stops to cut drive time by 15 to 30 percent, and Route Density shows where your clients cluster. Drive time is a real cost: the IRS business mileage rate is 76 cents per mile from July 1, 2026. For consistent quality across visits, ISSA’s Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) is a useful benchmark, and Inspection Forms let you audit each visit against a checklist.
Build one proposal with three priced tiers and let the customer choose — for example a Standard clean at $155 per visit, an Enhanced clean with baseboards and blinds at $245, and a Premium clean with interior windows and appliance interiors at $385. In QuoteIQ that is an Options Estimate, available on every plan, and you can bundle recurring visits with add-ons using Package Estimates. Measure the property first with MapMeasure Pro (Beginner and above) so the price reflects real square footage, let AI Estimator draft line items from property photos, and attach a Before & After AI preview so the customer can picture the result. Send it by text, email, or link and collect an e-signature on the spot, because the first clear estimate becomes the anchor customers compare everyone else to. To see how crowded your market is, the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns lists establishments by industry.
QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online on the Pro plan and above, starting at $149.99 a month. The QuickBooks Online integration syncs invoices, payments, customers, and expense categories, uses duplicate-sync locks, and automatically syncs a missing customer before an estimate syncs. Pair it with Expense Tracking (Beginner and above) to log supply purchases against jobs, Job Costing to see profit per job, Invoicing and Online Payments to collect by card, ACH, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, and Business Analytics to review revenue and outstanding balances. Your accountant will also want mileage records: the IRS standard mileage rate for business use is 76 cents per mile from July 1, 2026, and 72.5 cents from January 1 through June 30. Export Data is available on every plan for backups and reports.
Yes, within limits worth knowing. QuoteIQ’s EmployeeHub (Elite and above, up to 10 users) adds GPS location tracking, Time Tracker Pro for GPS clock-in and clock-out with per-job hours and break counts, and team communication for one-on-one and group chats. Crew Creation, Tracking, and Scheduling with crew-level analytics are Max features ($699 a month, unlimited users); on Pro and Elite you assign work to individual team members, and roles and permissions control what each user can open. Clocked-out employees never appear on the map. QuoteIQ tracks hours but does not run payroll or calculate overtime automatically, so export hours to your payroll system. The Department of Labor requires overtime at one and one-half times the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek, and the IRS weighs behavioral control, financial control, and the type of relationship when deciding whether a cleaner is an employee or a contractor.
Measure accurately, price the scope and frequency as options, and track the deal to signature. Use MapMeasure Pro (Beginner and above) to measure the building, present frequency and scope tiers as an Options Estimate, attach the agreement with Contract Attachments and collect an e-signature, and track the bid in Pipelines and Deals (Elite and above; up to 5 pipelines on Elite, unlimited on Max), where weighted value equals deal amount times close probability — a $4,500-a-month bid at 60 percent is $2,700. Bill the contract monthly with Invoice Subscriptions. For supplies, Inventory Management (Elite and above) tracks products, locations, suppliers, orders, and transactions, and stock deducts when an invoice is paid, not when a job is marked done. OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard requires employers to keep safety data sheets available for hazardous chemicals employees use, and the EPA’s Safer Choice program helps you find products with safer ingredients.
Options Estimates present Standard, Deep Clean, and Premium tiers on one proposal, so customers choose a tier instead of answering yes or no to one price.
MapMeasure Pro measures commercial properties from satellite imagery so your square-footage pricing is accurate before the walkthrough (Beginner and above).
Invoice Subscriptions auto-bill recurring clients — 20 weekly accounts at $155 a visit is $161,200 in annual revenue that invoices itself.
Job Costing shows real profit on every job — Price − Labor − Expenses — so you know your margin before month-end (Pro and above).
QuoteIQ Cam documents pre-clean and post-clean conditions by job and date — your protection against damage claims and scope disputes (Beginner and above).
Virtual Call Team answers and qualifies calls 24/7 while your crew is cleaning, and transcribes each call so you never lose a lead to a missed phone.
Review Multiplier sends review requests after paid invoices, building the social proof that wins new clients.
QuoteIQ plans run from $29.99 to $699 a month, and the Pro plan at $149.99 covers four users with Job Costing, ClientHub, and QuickBooks Online integration.

Create your account at the trial signup page and choose the plan that matches your headcount: Essentials for a solo cleaner, Beginner for two users, Pro for a team of up to four, or Elite for up to ten. Your 14-day trial gives you full access to the features of the plan you choose.
Bring in your existing customer list from a CSV file or your phone contacts with AI Smart Import, which maps the columns automatically, and review them in the Client Database. Then add your services to the Price Book — standard clean, deep clean, move-out, and add-ons such as interior windows or oven detailing.
Measure the property with MapMeasure Pro, build an Options Estimate with Standard, Deep Clean, and Premium tiers, and send it for e-signature. When the customer accepts, convert it into a recurring subscription with Invoice Subscriptions and place the visits on your Scheduling calendar.
Have crews capture before-and-after photos with QuoteIQ Cam, let customers pay online with Online Payments, and switch on Review Multiplier so review requests follow every paid invoice. On the Pro plan and above, connect the QuickBooks Online integration to keep your books in sync.
