Best for maid and cleaning companies with a small route
ZenMaid is scheduling and booking software for cleaning companies, from $19 a month, with a 14-day trial. The $19 Starter stops at 40 appointments a month, texting is billed on top of every plan and payroll and cleaner GPS need the $39 plan.
Who ZenMaid is for
- Fits if you run a small cleaning business with fewer than 40 jobs a month
- Works for owners who want booking, scheduling and cleaner reminders in one place
Who ZenMaid is not for
- Too light for a growing cleaning firm: Starter stops at 40 appointments a month
- Tight if you want payroll or GPS tracking, as both need Pro at $39
- Pricey if you text customers a lot, because SMS charges are on top of every plan
- Watch out: QuickBooks is marked coming soon on Pro, and Mailchimp and Zapier are Pro Max only
Why ZenMaid gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for money$19 a month is under 60% of the category's $35 cheaper-quarter figure, but Starter caps you at 40 appointments and unlimited ones need the $39 Pro plan.
- CFree plan and trial14 days free, and the page doesn't say that no card is needed. No free plan after it.
- CFeaturesScheduling, booking and cleaner tools are covered, but payroll, reports and GPS tracking need Pro, and QuickBooks is marked coming soon.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and clients and cleaners to load before it helps.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb plus iPhone and Android apps, with 4 integrations, but Mailchimp and Zapier are only on Pro Max and there is no desktop app.

Keep ZenMaid, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of ZenMaid you could make: job scheduling, appointment booking, invoicing, time tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 47 of the 55 other field service apps we grade. It costs $228 a year.
What you could make
- Job scheduling, appointment booking, invoicing, time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. ZenMaid’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
