House Cleaning Software Pricing: What $59, $89 and $199 a Month Cover

Price is usually the first question a maid service owner asks about software, and the hardest one to get a straight answer to. Some tools start cheap and charge for every add-on. Some hide the price behind a sales call. This guide lays out MaidBossPro pricing plainly and how to think about it for your company.

Pricing Comes Up Early

The day-by-day plan in Setting Up House Cleaning Software in Your First Week starts with a free trial. Before most owners start, though, they want to know what it will cost once the trial ends.

The Three Plans

MaidBossPro has three plans:

• Start — $59 a month.
• Pro — $89 a month.
• Crew — $199 a month.

Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and you do not need a credit card to begin. The plans are compared side by side on the pricing page.

What Comes With the Platform

The core of the system is part of the platform, not a pile of paid add-ons. That includes:

• Cleaning details on every job: type, beds, baths, square feet, pets, extras and entry notes.
• Recurring cleanings in fixed slots, plus the Waiting List map for one-off jobs.
• The dispatch board, teams and auto-routing.
• The team app for your cleaners, on the phones they already have.
• The customer app for your clients.
• Estimates with online approval, and website request and sign-up forms.
• Invoices, card on file and online payment.

The team app and customer app come with every plan. They are not separate products you have to buy on top.

The Text Allowance

Each plan includes a monthly text allowance, counted in segments sent and received:

• Start: 500 segments.
• Pro: 1,000 segments.
• Crew: 2,000 segments.

Texting is the piece that grows most directly with your client list. Every reminder, on-the-way text, arrived text and two-way conversation uses segments. A short text is one segment; a long one can be several. Replies count too. A company with a small book of clients will use less; a company with several teams sending alerts all day will use more.

A simple way to keep texting costs down is to keep messages short and let email carry longer notices like invoices and estimate follow-ups.

How to Pick a Plan

A few questions help:

• How many clients do you text in a month? Count reminders, on-the-way and arrived alerts, and conversations. That points you to the right allowance.
• How many teams do you run? A solo cleaner and a company with several teams have different needs.
• How fast are you growing? If you plan to add a team this year, it may be worth starting on the plan you will need.

Many owners start on the plan that fits today and move up as they grow. The full side-by-side is on the pricing page.

How to Think About the Cost

For a maid service, software pays for itself in a few ways:

• Time. Hours not spent texting codes, rebuilding schedules or making invoices.
• Missed money. Extras that get done and billed, invoices that get created at completion, cards that get charged the same day.
• Kept clients. Recurring homes that do not fall through the cracks, because every visit is already on the schedule and you are warned when a series is running out.

One way to check: what is one of your every-two-weeks clients worth over a year? If the software keeps even one of them from drifting away because they were forgotten, it has covered a good part of its cost.

Pricing Your Own Services Is a Separate Question

It is easy to mix up what software costs with what you charge. They are different decisions. Your software price is a fixed monthly cost. Your cleaning prices are yours to set, and MaidBossPro simply holds them in your service list so every estimate and invoice uses the same numbers. If you tie prices to bedrooms, bathrooms or square feet, the software does the math on each quote.

Many owners find that having their prices in one place makes it easier to review them once a year, since every service and extra is listed together instead of scattered across old texts and notes.

What You Will Not Pay For

There is no setup fee to start the trial, no credit card to begin, and no app store purchase for your team or clients. Your cleaners use their own phones. Your clients use the customer app in their browser.

Try Before You Pay

The best way to judge the price is to use it. During the 14-day free trial, import your clients, run real cleanings and send real invoices.
