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. - **Value for money: A.** $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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** 14 days free, and the page doesn't say that no card is needed. No free plan after it. - **Features: C.** Scheduling, booking and cleaner tools are covered, but payroll, reports and GPS tracking need Pro, and QuickBooks is marked coming soon. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and clients and cleaners to load before it helps. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web plus iPhone and Android apps, with 4 integrations, but Mailchimp and Zapier are only on Pro Max and there is no desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

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. - You could make: Job scheduling, appointment booking, invoicing, time tracking and reports: 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.
