Source: https://www.cleanguru.com/plans-pricing/ ## Key features - **Time-based bidding:** Pricing is built from cleaning time calculated from building type, frequency and size, using preloaded layouts and production rates. - **Proposals and bid templates:** Proposals are generated from bid templates for janitorial, construction, maid, tile, move in/out, carpet, window cleaning and disinfecting work. - **Scheduling and timekeeping:** Drag-and-drop scheduling and mobile timekeeping with a geofence are on every plan. - **Checklists and inspections:** Mobile checklists start on Guru; the separate QC inspection app is part of Guru Plus. - **Invoicing:** Invoicing is on every plan, and the Guru and Guru Plus plans add a QuickBooks integration. ## Good for - Commercial and janitorial cleaning companies pricing contracts by cleaning time - Small cleaning crews of 5 to 15 users - Companies that want bids, schedules and inspections in one tool ## Worth knowing - Starter includes only one bid template; all eight need Guru or higher. - Mobile checklists and the QuickBooks integration are not on Starter, and the QC inspection app is Guru Plus only. - Additional cleaners cost $5 per cleaner per month (no charge past 50 additional cleaners), and admin users beyond the 2 included cost $15 per user per month. - The advertised first-two-months prices are $59, $89 and $119; the standard rates apply afterward. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. CleanGuru works out cleaning time from building type, size and frequency, turns that into a bid, then carries the job into scheduling, timekeeping and invoicing. Starter has one bid template of eight and no mobile checklists, and the cheap first-two-months prices end. Past the included users, each extra cleaner and admin costs more. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $79 a month at the standard rate ($59 for the first two months), against a category middle of $49 and a dearer quarter from $99. Guru is $129 and Guru Plus $159, so the plans most firms need sit in the dearer quarter. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 14-day free trial, cancel anytime, and the listing does not say it needs a card. No free plan, so you pay once the two weeks are up. - **Features: C.** Time-based bids, proposals, scheduling, timekeeping with geofence and invoicing. Gaps: Starter has one bid template of eight, mobile checklists and QuickBooks start on Guru, and the QC inspection app is Guru Plus only. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Bid templates and production rates have to be set up before the bids come out right. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with a QuickBooks integration on Guru and up. No desktop app and no other integrations on record. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from CleanGuru’s own pages on 12 November 2026.

What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $948 a year. - You could make: Quotes and estimates, job scheduling, time tracking and invoicing: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
