Cleaning business software: how many weekly clients each plan holds

A weekly client is about 4.33 visits a month. A plan cap counts visits, not clients. So a cap fills fast.

Estimates. Weekly clients = cap x 12 / 52, rounded down (52 weeks divided by 12 months is 4.33 visits). Every other week = cap x 12 / 26 (2.17 visits). Each visit counts as one appointment or job. One-off cleans and move-outs use slots too, so a real book holds fewer. Caps: ZenMaid's pricing page, read 2026-10-26; ServiceM8's pricing page, read 2026-10-20, and its plan picker in our trial account on 2026-11-02, shown below.

We saw no monthly cap printed for Launch27, Jobber, GorillaDesk or Housecall Pro in the pages and trial screens we read. ZenMaid Pro and Pro Max show no cap in our records. We have not asked ZenMaid whether one exists. ServiceM8's pricing page does not say whether each visit of a repeating job counts as a new job. If it counts once, the caps above hold more. We have not asked ServiceM8 either.

Weekly clients expect the card to be charged on the day. Here is what each tool lists. A listing is not a test: we ran none of these charges.

Team of four means three cleaners and you. All numbers are a month, in US dollars, as listed, billed monthly. ZenMaid charges for every person on the team, so four people is the base plus four per-person fees.

Estimates: a month x 12, no sales tax, no card fees (those are in the next section). Prices from each tool's own page, dated in the list at the end.

• ZenMaid and QuickBooks. ZenMaid's Pro card lists "Quickbooks integration" with a COMING SOON tag on the same line. So it is not live. We read this in a browser on 2026-11-03. If you need QuickBooks today, do not plan on ZenMaid Pro until ZenMaid says it works. We have not asked ZenMaid. ZenMaid's price calculator also says SMS charges are not included (read in a browser 2026-10-26).
• Housecall Pro shows more than one price for the same plan. The line above is the public page, billed monthly. The same page lists Essentials at US$149 a month billed yearly. Our trial account showed other prices on 2026-11-02. We name each view and its date on the Housecall Pro cost page.
• Jobber's price depends on team size. A solo cleaner pays US$139 on Connect. Six to ten people pay US$299.
• Launch27: the prices are from its public page and we have not taken a trial. We did not read how many users Plus allows.
• BookingKoala is not in this table. No price in the page text we read, read 2026-11-02.

Pick by your number

• Up to 9 weekly clients: ZenMaid Starter (US$35 for four people; not tested by us yet, prices from its public pages) or ServiceM8 Starter (US$29, holds 11).
• 12 to 34 weekly clients: ServiceM8 Growing (US$79), or a plan with no printed monthly cap.
• You want the card charged for you: GorillaDesk Pro (US$99 for one crew), Jobber Connect (US$199) or Launch27 Plus (US$299; not tested by us yet, prices from its public page). Ask each to confirm how it works before you pay. We have not run an automatic charge on any of them.
• More than 34 weekly clients: ServiceM8 Premium holds 115 (US$149). The other tools here print no cap.

A US$120 clean paid by card online at 2.9% + 30 cents costs US$3.78. That is US$196.56 per client a year at 52 visits. For 25 weekly clients it is US$4,914 a year.

That is more than a year of any plan in the table above. The most expensive one there is US$3,588 a year.

Estimate. The rate is Jobber's online card rate (pricing page, read 2026-10-22). Your real rate depends on your processor and on how clients pay. The card rates for each tool, and the invoice size where one beats another, are on the Jobber, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan page.

Many cleaners price by bedrooms or square feet. We searched 10 pages saved from the top search results for "square foot", "sq ft", "square feet" and "bedroom" on 2026-11-02. None says how a tool prices a clean by size. We have not opened a ZenMaid, Launch27 or BookingKoala booking form ourselves.

Jobber's cleaning page: price by size and deposits are not mentioned in the page summary (read 2026-11-02, not word for word). Deposits, tips and lockout fees: not tested for any tool here.

Ask each tool two questions. Can the booking form set price by bedrooms or square feet? Can it take a deposit?

• Currency: ServiceM8 shows CAD on its Canadian page (read 2026-10-20). Jobber bills in USD and publishes no Canadian-dollar prices (read 2026-10-22). GorillaDesk bills in USD and publishes none (read 2026-10-20). ZenMaid shows USD (read 2026-10-26). We did not read Launch27's or BookingKoala's currency.
• Taxes: Jobber's page says: "Subscription plan prices exclude sales tax where applicable." How each tool handles GST and HST on your invoices: we did not check in depth.
• Card fee on a CA$120 weekly clean: Square's Canadian page lists 2.8% + 30 cents for an invoice paid online, so CA$3.66. Stripe's lists 2.9% + CA$0.30 for a domestic card, so CA$3.78. The gap is CA$0.12 a visit, CA$6.24 per client a year, and CA$374 across 60 clients. At 60 clients the card fees alone are CA$11,419 (Square) or CA$11,794 (Stripe) a year. Estimates: 52 visits a year, 60 clients, both read 2026-11-02.
• ZenMaid takes payments through your own Stripe or Square account. Whether that works with Canadian accounts is not stated on its pricing page (read 2026-10-26), and we have not asked.
• GorillaDesk works through your own Stripe or Square account. Whether it accepts Canadian accounts: not stated on its Stripe page (read 2026-11-02).
• ServiceM8 Pay in Canada lists 3.1% + 30 cents on Starter and 2.85% + 30 cents on Growing. Its help page says these rates are current as of September 2024. On a CA$120 clean that is CA$4.02 and CA$3.72, if the 30 cents is in Canadian dollars. The fee table does not say.

How many weekly clients does a cleaning software plan hold?

ZenMaid's Starter plan (US$19 a month plus US$4 for each person on the team) holds about 9 weekly clients, ServiceM8 Starter (US$29) holds 11 and ServiceM8 Growing (US$79) holds 34. These are estimates: a plan cap counts visits, and one weekly client is about 4.33 visits a month. We have not tested ZenMaid yet.

Which cleaning software charges the client's card for you?

Three tools list automatic card charging on a named plan: GorillaDesk Pro (US$99 for one crew), Jobber Connect (US$199 for 2 to 5 people) and Launch27 Plus (US$299, not tested by us yet). We have not run an automatic charge on any of them, so ask each vendor to confirm how it works before you pay.

Is the card fee bigger than the software bill for a cleaner?

On a US$120 weekly clean, the card fee is about US$4 a visit, or US$197 a year per weekly client, so 25 weekly clients pay about US$4,914 a year in card fees, which is more than most plans in the table.

• ZenMaid Starter: you have more than 9 weekly clients, or you need online booking, which is listed from Pro. QuickBooks is listed on the Pro card with a COMING SOON tag, so it is not there today (see the note under the team table).
• ZenMaid Pro: you want one flat price for a big crew. Each person adds US$14, and the plan is priced for up to 20 people.
• Launch27: automatic charging is only nice to have. It is the US$299 plan. Or you need Canadian pricing: we did not read its currency.
• Jobber: you want prices in Canadian dollars, or you run a team over 5 and expect the 2 to 5 price. Six to ten people pay US$299 on Connect.
• GorillaDesk: you run several crews on separate routes. Each added schedule on Pro is US$50 a month.
• ServiceM8: you need a confirmed saved-card auto-charge today. We have not confirmed it. Or you pass 11 weekly clients on Starter.
• Housecall Pro: you want one clear price. We saw different prices for the same plan on 2026-11-02 in different views of its pricing.
• BookingKoala: you need a price before you sign up. We could not read it.

Vendor checks

We ask each tool once to confirm our figures. "Not yet asked", "Asked, no reply yet" and "Confirmed" carry the same weight here, and a vendor's correction needs a primary source before we change anything.
