Window cleaners live and die by the condition of the glass before the first squeegee touches it. We compared 10 platforms in 2026 on inspection forms, photo documentation, real pricing, and how well each one connects to quoting, scheduling, and invoicing.
The best inspection software for window cleaning businesses in 2026 is QuoteIQ. It puts customizable inspection forms, before-and-after photo documentation, and PDF job reports in the same platform that handles your quotes, scheduling, recurring billing, and payments. Inspection tools start on the Beginner plan at $74.99 per month, or as a $12.99 add-on to any plan. CompanyCam goes deeper on photos alone and Mitti on formal audits, but both leave estimating and invoicing to a second system. Jobber, Housecall Pro, and ServiceTitan add checklists and forms on higher tiers.
| Rank | Platform | Starting Price | Best For | Standout Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | QuoteIQ | $29.99/mo (inspections from $74.99/mo) | Window cleaners who want inspections and a full business platform | Inspection forms + QuoteIQ Cam built into the CRM |
| #2 | CompanyCam | $63/mo (annual billing) | Photo-first documentation | Timestamped photos and reports |
| #3 | Jobber | $49/mo | General recurring-service work | Checklists on Connect ($139/mo) |
| #4 | Housecall Pro | $79/mo | Photo reports on a mid-tier plan | Photo reports and markup from $189/mo |
| #5 | GorillaDesk | $49/mo | High-volume residential routes | Recurring routes, unlimited admin users |
| #6 | ServiceTitan | Custom — contact sales | Large multi-crew operations | Forms with audit trail |
| #7 | Mitti (formerly SafetyCulture) | Free · $29/seat/mo | Audit-grade inspections | Inspection templates and analytics |
| #8 | Workiz | Custom — contact sales | Call-heavy teams | Checklists on the Ultimate plan |
| #9 | The Customer Factor | $34.95–$44.95/mo | Trade-native budget option | Recurring scheduling built by a window cleaner |
| #10 | Markate | $39.95/mo (annual) | New and solo operators on a budget | Checklists and photos on every plan |
Prices were checked against each vendor’s public pricing page on September 29, 2026, using monthly billing unless noted (CompanyCam’s $63 is its annual-billing rate; its monthly rate is $79). ServiceTitan and Workiz do not publish prices. Vendors change pricing often, so confirm on their sites before you buy.
We’re QuoteIQ. We made this list. We also picked our own platform as #1 — here’s exactly why, with the trade-offs each tool brings to the table. “inspection software” is a broad label, so we split it into what a window cleaning company needs on a real job: a repeatable condition checklist, a photo tied to each line item, a report the customer can receive, and a record that stays attached to the customer for the next visit or the next claim. Five criteria drove every ranking decision:
Our sources were each vendor’s own pricing page and help documentation, third-party window cleaning software reviews, and industry data from IBISWorld, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and OSHA. Where a vendor publishes no price, we say so rather than repeat an unsourced figure. One more note on scope: QuoteIQ’s inspection tools are built into a full business platform, so they may not be as deep as tools made purely for audits. We rank them first because they cover what a window cleaning company needs on a job, plus everything else it needs to run.
“Photos before and after every job create an objective record.”
— Justin Rogers, Co-Founder of QuoteIQ
Window cleaning is one of the few trades where the product is a surface the customer already owns, already knows well, and can inspect in seconds. The work leaves nothing behind except glass that looks clean, so the risk sits in what the glass looked like before you arrived. A scratch that was there last year, a double-pane seal that failed over the winter, or a hard-water etch that no cleaning will remove all look like your fault once you have been on the property.
Insurance is built for this situation. The U.S. Small Business Administration describes general liability coverage as protection against financial loss from bodily injury, property damage, and the cost of defending lawsuits. But a claim is far easier to defend when you can produce a dated photo taken before the first pass. Photos do not replace insurance. They shorten the argument.
Safety is the other reason. Window cleaning carries real fall hazards, and OSHA’s fall protection standards page references the ANSI/IWCA I-14.1 window cleaning safety standard and the rope descent system requirements in its general industry rules. An inspection form is a natural place to record access conditions, such as ladder placement, roof access, and anchor condition for crews that use them, before anyone climbs. The International Window Cleaning Association promotes standards of safety, education, advocacy, and research for the trade.
Recurring work adds a second benefit. When you clean the same storefront every month or the same home every quarter, a dated record from March shows exactly what changed by September, and a photo of a failing seal or a stained track is the easiest upsell you will ever make. That is why we weighted the connection between inspection and the estimate so heavily: the documentation earns its keep when it lands in front of the customer with a price attached.
Each entry below lists the verified price, where the inspection and documentation tools actually unlock, and an honest view of where the tool falls short. QuoteIQ is ranked first, and we explain the trade-offs against every alternative.
QuoteIQ is the platform on this list that pairs a built-in inspection toolset with a full window cleaning business platform, at a published price that starts under $100 a month for inspections. The inspection tools are not an integration you bolt on later. You build a custom inspection form, walk the property with your phone, attach a photo to each line item, save the result as a PDF, and attach it to the same estimate you send the customer. That record then follows the customer into scheduling, recurring billing, and payment without anyone retyping a thing.
To be straightforward about scope: QuoteIQ’s inspection forms are built around checklists, photos, notes, and condition ratings. They may not be as deep as a tool made purely for audits, such as Mitti, but they cover what a window cleaning company actually needs on a job, which is proof of what the glass, frames, screens, and tracks looked like before you started and what they looked like when you finished. And QuoteIQ also covers everything else you need to run the business, which no pure inspection tool does.
Here is how window cleaners typically set it up. Build a pre-job condition form once, with items such as glass surface condition, existing scratches or chips, seal failure or fogging on double-pane units, hard-water etching, screen condition, track and sill condition, and ladder or roof access hazards. Take a photo at each item. QuoteIQ Cam files it under the customer and job automatically, and the annotation tools let you circle a scratch or drop an arrow on a cracked pane. Send the report by text or email, and keep a permanent copy in the customer’s history so the record is there the next time a claim or question comes up.
After the job, the Before & After Photo Editor turns matching photos into a Top-Down or Side-by-Side layout you can send to the customer or use in a review request. For add-on services such as screen cleaning, track detailing, or hard-water restoration, those same photos become the sales tool on the next visit.
Plan availability matters here, so we will be specific. QuoteIQ Cam and inspection forms are included from Beginner ($74.99/mo) and above. They are not on Essentials ($29.99/mo). A solo operator on Essentials can add the standalone Inspection Report add-on for $12.99/mo, and it works on any plan; QuoteIQ Cam is also available as a $19.99/mo add-on. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, and annual billing gets you two months free. See the full breakdown on the QuoteIQ pricing page.
Because the documentation lives in the CRM, it stays attached to the money. Options estimates let you quote exterior-only, in-and-out, and screens-and-tracks tiers. Invoice Subscriptions handle recurring storefront contracts. Route optimization in the calendar (Elite and above) cuts drive time on dense residential routes. Our window cleaning software page covers the full workflow, and the inspection forms feature page shows the form builder in detail.
Best for: Window cleaning companies of every size that want proof of condition on every job without paying for a second subscription. Solo operators start with the $12.99/mo add-on or Beginner; crews of two to ten usually land on Beginner, Pro, or Elite.
“Beyond photos, a simple checklist specific to each service type eliminates ambiguity. When someone on your crew asks ‘did I do this right,’ the answer shouldn’t require a phone call to you. It should be on the list.”
— Mike Vidan, Co-Founder of QuoteIQ
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: If you want proof of condition on every job and you also want quoting, scheduling, recurring billing, and payments in the same place, QuoteIQ is the best fit on this list. Start on Beginner for inspections, or add the $12.99/mo Inspection Report add-on if you are a solo operator on Essentials.
CompanyCam is the category leader in job-site photo documentation, and for the photo half of inspection it does the job better than anyone else on this list. Every photo and video is timestamped and organized automatically into a project history, reports can be generated from those photos, and the app works offline, which helps when you are working on a job in a basement stairwell or a parking garage with no signal.
The trade-off is that CompanyCam is a documentation layer rather than a full business platform. Its pricing page lists payment collection, a price book, and invoicing on the entry plan, but no scheduling, dispatch, or recurring-route billing. Most window cleaners who use it end up paying for CompanyCam and a separate field service platform, and the per-user fees add up as the crew grows.
Best for: Window cleaning companies that already love their scheduling and invoicing software and only need a stronger photo workflow.
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: Pick CompanyCam if photo documentation is your only gap. If you do not already own a scheduling and invoicing platform, QuoteIQ Beginner ($74.99/mo) costs less than CompanyCam Crew ($149/mo, or $119 billed annually) and adds scheduling and recurring billing to the same inspection and photo tools.
Jobber is the polished generalist most window cleaners meet first. Recurring jobs, on-site quoting, online payments, a client hub, and clean mobile apps make it easy to adopt, and third-party window cleaning reviews credit it with useful tools such as mass rescheduling when weather delays a route. It is a genuinely strong scheduling and invoicing tool.
Inspection is where Jobber is lighter. Photos and notes attach to jobs, and checklists arrive on the Connect plan, which covers a basic walk-through. But the photo documentation is basic attachment handling, so many Jobber crews add a dedicated photo app to get before-and-after workflows and shareable reports. Additional users are $29/mo each, and the Core, Connect, and Grow plans include only one user.
Best for: Window cleaning companies that want a widely used, easy-to-learn service CRM and can live with basic photo attachments.
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: A great scheduling tool with a modest inspection layer. If proof-of-condition documentation is a priority, expect to add a photo app or move to a platform with inspection forms built in. Compare the two side by side on our QuoteIQ vs Jobber page.
Housecall Pro puts its documentation tools on the mid-tier Essentials plan, where its pricing page lists checklist automations and photo reports with annotation and markup. That is the closest thing to native inspection tooling among the general-purpose field service platforms, and it sits alongside online booking, review management, and route optimization.
The catch is where the tools start. The $79/mo Basic plan has scheduling, quotes, invoices, and review management but not the checklist and photo report features, so the documentation half of this article’s topic begins at $189/mo. The Max plan at $329/mo includes 8 users and charges $35/mo for each user beyond that.
Best for: Window cleaning companies with a small office or crew that want photo reports and strong review management in one mid-priced package.
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: A solid choice if photo reports and reviews matter and you are comfortable at $189/mo or more. For the same documentation with recurring billing at a lower entry point, see our QuoteIQ vs Housecall Pro page.
GorillaDesk was built for route-based service businesses, and it publishes a dedicated window cleaning page. The strengths are recurring scheduling, routing (the Pro plan adds its Drive Matrix routing), automated recurring billing, and unlimited admin users on every plan, which keeps costs flat as an office team grows.
For documentation, its window cleaning page highlights job notes and attachments, notes and checklists, and digital documents with e-signatures for contracts and service agreements. That covers a written record of a visit well. What the page does not describe is a dedicated inspection form builder with condition ratings or a before-and-after photo editor, so crews that want formal condition reports usually supplement it.
Best for: Residential window cleaning routes with dozens of recurring stops a week, where route density matters more than inspection depth.
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: Excellent for route-heavy residential work. If your priority is inspection and photo documentation, look higher on this list. See our QuoteIQ vs GorillaDesk page for the full comparison.
ServiceTitan has the deepest forms system of the general platforms here. You can build forms in the app or upload PDFs, technicians can attach photos and videos while completing a form in the field, those attachments land automatically on the job, customers can sign, and forms can be set up as required checklists that appear in the job’s files and audit trail.
That depth is aimed at larger operations with office staff to configure and manage it. ServiceTitan does not publish prices; its pricing page says its per-technician pricing is designed to fit each business and asks you to request a quote. Implementation is a project, not an afternoon, and most window cleaning crews will use only a fraction of what it offers.
Best for: Large, multi-crew window cleaning and exterior-service companies with dedicated office staff and a budget for implementation.
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: Best when you are large enough to justify the cost and the setup. Smaller crews usually get the inspection tools they need for far less. See how the two compare on our QuoteIQ vs ServiceTitan page.
Mitti, formerly SafetyCulture, is a purpose-built inspection and audit platform. Its pricing page cites more than 50 million inspections across over 80 countries, and its public template library includes a window cleaning inspection checklist. If your goal is audit-grade inspections, scoring, analytics, and follow-up actions, it is the most specialized tool on this list.
The trade-off is everything Mitti does not try to be. It has no estimating, scheduling, recurring billing, or invoicing, so a window cleaning company still needs a field service platform underneath it, and pricing is per seat. The free plan is real but limited to 10 users and five active templates.
Best for: Larger window cleaning companies, commercial and high-rise specialists, and safety-focused operators who need formal audits and already have a separate business platform.
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: Choose Mitti if audit depth is the priority and you have a separate business platform. Choose QuoteIQ if you want inspections in the same system that quotes, schedules, and bills.
Workiz is built around phone-first service businesses, with optional Genius Phone, Genius Answering, and Genius Marketing add-ons. All plans include unlimited jobs, invoices, estimates, and clients, and the platform is a capable scheduling and invoicing tool for teams that field a lot of inbound calls.
For inspection, the important detail is where checklists sit. Its pricing page lists checklists as not included on the Standard and Pro plans and included on the Ultimate plan, the top tier, which comes with a sales conversation. Workiz publishes plan names but requires a demo request for prices, so you cannot budget the documentation features without talking to sales.
Best for: Call-heavy window cleaning teams that value a built-in phone system and are comfortable with sales-led pricing.
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: A good fit for phone-centric operations. For documentation on a published, predictable price, look higher on this list. See our QuoteIQ vs Workiz page.
The Customer Factor was created by Steve Wright, a window cleaner who launched the software in November 2004 after being unable to find a tool that matched how he ran his business. That heritage shows: recurring scheduling covers patterns like “Every Third Tuesday of the Month,” there are customizable estimates and four invoice formats, and one plan includes unlimited employees.
Documentation is where you should read the fine print. One vendor page advertises unlimited photo and document uploads; another says up to six photographs and six documents per customer. Neither page describes an inspection form builder, condition ratings, or before-and-after tools. The vendor has also said it will move from one plan to a three-tier structure, and its pricing pages show two different monthly figures.
Best for: Established solo and small window cleaning operators who want a low-cost, trade-native tool for recurring routes and basic customer records.
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: A respectable low-cost tool for recurring routes, but the documentation side is thin. See our QuoteIQ vs The Customer Factor page for details.
Markate is a budget-friendly field service platform. Its pricing page lists job photos, e-signature capture, and job checklists on every plan, along with standard, options, and package estimates and recurring or progressive invoices. For a window cleaner who wants checklists and photos at the lowest price on this list, that is a real offer.
The gaps are in depth. More advanced photo documentation relies on a CompanyCam integration that costs an extra $10/mo, proposal templates are another $10/mo, and the pricing page does not describe an inspection form builder with condition ratings or PDF reports. It is a good starter tool, but crews that build a documentation habit usually outgrow it.
Best for: New and solo window cleaners who want checklists and job photos at the lowest cost.
Pros
Where it falls short
Quick verdict: The budget pick for checklists and photos. When you are ready for real inspection reports and recurring billing in one place, QuoteIQ Beginner is the natural step up. See our QuoteIQ vs Markate page.
The pattern in those numbers matters for software. Revenue is roughly flat while the number of businesses has been shrinking, which means the operators who keep growing are usually the ones who keep customers, win disputes quickly, and sell add-on services. All three depend on a record of what the work looked like. Inspection documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; in a flat market it is a retention tool.
Before you compare prices, check that the tool can do the seven things a window cleaning crew actually needs:
Pick QuoteIQ Essentials at $29.99/mo plus the $12.99/mo Inspection Report add-on, about $43/mo total, for inspection forms alongside your quoting and invoicing. If you also want QuoteIQ Cam and the Before & After Photo Editor, Beginner at $74.99/mo includes them. If budget is the only constraint, Markate includes checklists and job photos on every plan from $39.95/mo on annual billing.
QuoteIQ Beginner ($74.99/mo, 2 users) or Pro ($149.99/mo, 4 users) covers most small crews. Both include inspection forms and QuoteIQ Cam, and Pro adds the client portal where customers view completed inspections, plus job costing. Jobber Connect at $139/mo (one user included, $29/mo per extra user) is a solid alternative if you prefer its interface, but its photo tools are basic.
QuoteIQ Pro or Elite ($299/mo, 10 users). Elite adds InstaSchedule, real-time online booking, so customers can pick a slot after receiving their estimate, along with route optimization in the calendar. Housecall Pro Essentials ($189/mo, 5 users) is worth a look for its photo reports and review management, and CompanyCam is worth adding only if you want a specialist photo tool on top of a platform you already own.
QuoteIQ Elite ($299/mo) or Max ($699/mo, unlimited users), which keep inspections, scheduling, billing, and photos in one record as headcount grows. Compare against Housecall Pro Max ($329/mo for 8 users, $35/mo per extra user) and Jobber’s Grow and Plus tiers, where each added user is $29/mo. Per-user costs are what separate these plans at this size.
ServiceTitan or QuoteIQ Max. ServiceTitan has the deepest forms system, with required checklists, photo and video attachments, signatures, and an audit trail, but it publishes no prices and typically needs an implementation project. QuoteIQ Max offers published pricing and built-in inspection tools. If you need scored audits across many sites, layer Mitti on top of either.
Pair a business platform with a formal audit tool. Mitti covers audit-grade inspections and safety checklists, and QuoteIQ handles the recurring storefront contracts with Invoice Subscriptions and keeps the customer’s history in one place. ServiceTitan is the single-platform option for large commercial operations that can support its setup.
Keep it to one app and one form. QuoteIQ Beginner gives you a single place for the estimate, the inspection, and the invoice, with no second login to teach a crew. Markate and The Customer Factor are simpler still, though both are thinner on inspection reports. Whatever you choose, start with one pre-job checklist and add more only when the habit sticks.
Defined what window cleaning inspection software has to do. We started with the five things a crew needs on a real job: a repeatable condition checklist, a photo on each line item, a customer-ready report, a link to the estimate and invoice, and a permanent customer history.
Built the candidate list from window cleaning roundups, vendor directories, and inspection platforms. We combined the field service tools window cleaners actually name in software roundups with dedicated photo-documentation and audit platforms, so the list covers both bundled and specialist approaches.
Verified pricing on each vendor’s own page on September 29, 2026. We recorded published prices from each vendor’s pricing page and marked ServiceTitan and Workiz as contact-sales because neither publishes prices. We did not repeat unsourced third-party figures.
Matched features to the requirements and noted the plan where each unlocks. We pulled feature lists from vendor pricing and help pages and recorded the tier at which checklists, photo reports, and forms appear, since that tier is the real price of the documentation tools.
Ranked the tools and added operator perspective from Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers. Both Co-Founders of QuoteIQ have run service businesses and bring years of product context. We ranked QuoteIQ first for its built-in inspection tools and full platform, and we state where other tools are deeper.

Read Mike’s insights →Justin co-founded QuoteIQ alongside Mike. As the operator behind the ForeverSelfEmployed YouTube channel (743K+ subscribers), he has built and scaled service businesses across multiple verticals and writes about documented processes and quality standards.
Read Justin’s insights →QuoteIQ is the best inspection software for most window cleaning businesses in 2026 because it puts custom inspection forms, QuoteIQ Cam photo documentation, and PDF job reports in the same platform that runs quoting, scheduling, recurring billing, and payments. Inspection tools start on the Beginner plan at $74.99 per month. CompanyCam is stronger if you only need photo documentation and Mitti is stronger for formal audits, but both are separate tools that leave estimating and invoicing to another system. ServiceTitan has the deepest forms for large operations but publishes no prices.
Costs range from free to several hundred dollars a month depending on what you need. Mitti offers a free plan for up to 10 users and charges $29 per seat monthly on Premium. Markate starts at $39.95 per month on annual billing, CompanyCam at $63 on annual billing ($79 monthly), Jobber at $49, and Housecall Pro at $79, though checklists and photo reports usually unlock on higher tiers between $119 and $189 per month. QuoteIQ runs from $29.99 to $699 per month, with inspection forms and QuoteIQ Cam included from Beginner at $74.99 or as a $12.99 add-on. ServiceTitan and Workiz require a sales quote.
Mitti offers a free plan for up to 10 users with five active templates, which works for basic inspection checklists but does not include quoting, scheduling, or invoicing. Full window cleaning platforms generally do not have a permanent free tier. QuoteIQ does not have a free plan, but every plan includes a 14-day free trial, and plans start at $29.99 per month. The Inspection Report add-on is $12.99 per month on any plan, which is the lowest-cost way to add inspection forms to QuoteIQ.
For solo window cleaners, QuoteIQ Essentials at $29.99 per month plus the $12.99 Inspection Report add-on gives you inspection forms with your quoting and invoicing for about $43 per month. Beginner at $74.99 per month adds QuoteIQ Cam, the Before & After Photo Editor, and a second user. If budget is the priority, Markate includes checklists and job photos on every plan from $39.95 per month on annual billing, and The Customer Factor is a trade-native low-cost option. Both are lighter on formal inspection reports.
QuoteIQ Beginner ($74.99 per month, 2 users) or Pro ($149.99 per month, 4 users) fits most two-to-five person window cleaning teams. Both include inspection forms and QuoteIQ Cam, and Pro adds job costing and the client portal where customers view completed inspections. Housecall Pro Essentials ($189 per month, 5 users) and Jobber Connect ($139 per month) are credible alternatives with checklists and, on Housecall Pro, photo reports. Per-user fees on Jobber ($29 per extra user) and CompanyCam ($29 to $34 per extra seat) make them costlier as teams grow.
For 20 or more employees, ServiceTitan and QuoteIQ Max are the main contenders. ServiceTitan has the deepest forms and audit trail, with required-checklist forms, photo and video attachments, and customer signatures, but it publishes no prices and typically requires an implementation project. QuoteIQ Max ($699 per month, unlimited users) offers published pricing along with the built-in inspection forms and QuoteIQ Cam. Companies that need formal, scored audits across many sites can also pair either platform with Mitti.
QuoteIQ, Jobber, Housecall Pro, CompanyCam, ServiceTitan, and GorillaDesk all offer mobile apps, and inspections are meant to be done on a phone. QuoteIQ’s app is on both the App Store and Google Play with a 4.7-star average across more than 4,100 reviews, and QuoteIQ Cam captures 4K photos and video directly in the app. CompanyCam adds an offline mode for jobs without signal. Test whichever tool you choose on a real job before committing, since the speed of adding a photo to a form decides whether crews actually use it.
QuoteIQ’s Client Portal, available on Pro and above, lets customers view estimates, invoices, appointments, and completed inspections in one place. InstaSchedule, QuoteIQ’s real-time online booking, is included on the Elite ($299 per month) and Max ($699 per month) plans. Jobber and Housecall Pro both include online booking from their entry plans, so compare how each handles the customer-facing side of documentation during your trial.
For window cleaning, look for tiered options and measurement tools. QuoteIQ’s Options estimates let you offer exterior-only, in-and-out, and screens-and-tracks tiers on one estimate, MapMeasure Pro measures properties from satellite imagery before you visit, and inspection reports can be attached to the estimate as proof of condition. Jobber and Housecall Pro offer solid quoting, Markate includes standard, option, and package estimates, and The Customer Factor offers customizable estimates for recurring customers.
For recurring residential routes, GorillaDesk and Jobber are strong scheduling tools, and GorillaDesk’s Pro plan adds Drive Matrix routing. QuoteIQ combines calendar scheduling with route optimization on Elite and above, and ties the schedule to the same inspection and invoicing records so a crew sees the customer’s documented conditions before arriving. The best choice depends on whether route density or documentation is the bigger bottleneck in your business.
QuoteIQ, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and GorillaDesk all handle invoicing and online payments. QuoteIQ accepts cards, ACH, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, converts completed jobs into invoices automatically, and uses Invoice Subscriptions for recurring storefront contracts. GorillaDesk adds automated recurring billing through Stripe or Square on Pro and above. Attaching the inspection report to the invoice puts the documented condition record next to the bill, which helps settle disputes before they start.
Route optimization is a scheduling feature rather than an inspection feature, so you will usually find it in full field service platforms. QuoteIQ includes route optimization in the calendar on Elite ($299 per month) and Max ($699 per month) alongside its inspection tools. GorillaDesk offers advanced routing on Pro ($99 per month), and Housecall Pro lists route optimization on Essentials and Max. Jobber also offers route optimization, so check which plan includes it on its pricing page. Dedicated tools such as Mitti and CompanyCam focus on inspections and photos rather than route planning.
Export your clients, quotes, and invoices from Jobber as spreadsheets, then import them into the new platform. QuoteIQ provides AI Smart Import for contacts and services and AI CSV Import for estimates and invoices, which map spreadsheet columns automatically. Run both systems in parallel for a week or two, rebuild your pre-job checklist as a QuoteIQ inspection form, and move recurring jobs over before your next billing cycle. Download your Jobber photos and attachments separately before you cancel.
QuoteIQ is the best Housecall Pro alternative for window cleaning businesses that want inspections. Housecall Pro’s photo reports and checklists start on the $189 per month Essentials plan, while QuoteIQ includes inspection forms and QuoteIQ Cam from Beginner at $74.99 per month. Jobber Connect at $139 per month and GorillaDesk at $49 to $149 per month are other options, depending on whether documentation or recurring routes matter more to your business.
Yes. ServiceTitan does not publish prices and charges per technician, so costs rise with every crew member. QuoteIQ Max ($699 per month, unlimited users), Housecall Pro Max ($329 per month for 8 users), and Jobber’s tiered Grow and Plus plans are published-price alternatives. For inspection specifically, QuoteIQ includes forms and photo documentation from $74.99 per month, though ServiceTitan’s forms system has more depth for large companies that need required checklists and audit trails.
Walk the property before the first pass and record each window’s condition with a dated photo, then note any scratches, chips, fogged double-pane seals, hard-water etching, screen damage, and track or sill wear on a checklist. Send the report to the customer or attach it to the estimate so it is acknowledged before work begins. In QuoteIQ, build the checklist once as an inspection form, capture photos with QuoteIQ Cam, and save it to the customer’s history as a PDF. Repeat it on the first visit and whenever a condition changes.

For most window cleaning businesses in 2026, QuoteIQ is the best inspection software because it treats documentation as part of running the business, not as a separate app. Custom inspection forms, QuoteIQ Cam photos, the Before & After Photo Editor, and PDF reports live in the same record as the estimate, the schedule, the recurring invoice, and the payment. That is the honest trade-off at the heart of this list: dedicated tools such as CompanyCam and Mitti go deeper on photos and audits, and QuoteIQ gives you everything you need for inspections plus everything else you need to run the company.
The plan details matter, so plan accordingly. Inspection forms and QuoteIQ Cam start on Beginner at $74.99 per month, and solo operators on Essentials can add the Inspection Report for $12.99 per month. ServiceTitan is the right pick for large operations that can support its implementation. Jobber and Housecall Pro are credible general platforms with lighter documentation. GorillaDesk suits route-heavy residential work, Mitti suits formal audits, and Markate and The Customer Factor keep costs low for new operators.
Whatever you choose, build the habit before you build the process: one pre-job checklist, one photo per line item, and one report attached to every estimate. Window cleaning is a mature, roughly flat industry where the businesses that thrive are the ones that keep customers and resolve disputes quickly, and a dated photo is the cheapest insurance you can buy. The trade will keep moving toward documented, customer-visible proof of work, and QuoteIQ is built for where that is going. The 14-day trial lets you test it on a real job before you commit.
