What is maid service software?

A plain guide for cleaning company owners: what it does, what to look for, what it costs and how switching works.

Maid service software, defined

Maid service software is a system that runs the office side of a residential cleaning company. It takes online bookings, schedules recurring and one-time cleans, assigns cleaners, charges customers, sends reminders, works out cleaner pay and reports on the business, so the owner is not living in spreadsheets and text threads.

Online booking

Customers book and pay on a form that prices the job as they fill it in.

The office sees where each cleaner is and whether jobs are running on time.

Customer records

Each customer, each home and its notes in one place.

Payments

Cards are kept on file and charged when the job is done, with tips.

Payroll

Cleaner pay is worked out from the jobs they finished.

Reminders

Customers and cleaners get emails and texts automatically.

Buyer's checklist

What to look for in maid service software

  1. 1

    Recurring service that is easy to change

    Weekly, biweekly and monthly homes are the core of a maid service. Skips and reschedules should not mean rebuilding a series.

  2. 2

    Pricing that fits every home

    Flat, hourly and per-square-foot pricing with add-ons, so large and small homes are both priced right.

  3. 3

    Booking that works on a phone

    Most customers book from their phone. The form should be fast and clear there.

  4. 4

    Cleaner pay that matches how you pay

    Hourly, percentage or flat, with tips and overtime handled.

  5. 5

    Data on every step

    Leads, conversions, bookings, services and workers should all be measurable.

  6. 6

    Integrations with what you already use

    Payroll, payments, marketing and calendars should connect without retyping.

  7. 7

    Help switching

    Moving your customers and recurring schedule is the hardest part. Ask who does that work.

  8. 8

    Clear pricing

    Know what you pay as your team grows, and what is billed on top.

FAQ

Common questions

What is maid service software?

Maid service software is a system that runs the office side of a residential cleaning company. It takes online bookings, schedules recurring and one-time cleans, assigns cleaners, charges customers, sends reminders, works out cleaner pay and reports on the business.

Who needs maid service software?

Any cleaning company that has outgrown paper, spreadsheets and text threads. It matters most once you have recurring customers and more than one cleaner, because scheduling, payments and pay then depend on each other.

How much does maid service software cost?

It varies by product and team size. MaidMind costs $99, $199 or $299 a month for up to 5, 15 or 30 cleaners, and any plan is $99 for the first month.

Is it hard to switch maid service software?

It is the part owners worry about most. MaidMind migrates your customers, properties, services, pricing and appointments for you, so you do not re-enter your business by hand.

What is the difference between maid service software and general field service software?

General field service software serves many trades. Maid service software is built around recurring home cleaning: frequencies, arrival windows, per-home pricing, cleaner pay and tips.

Does maid service software handle payroll?

Many products work out what each cleaner earned. MaidMind calculates pay hourly, by percentage or flat, includes tips and overtime, and exports to Gusto, ADP or Paychex.
