We run two commercial cleaning companies ourselves — including the day a client couldn't confirm our cleaner had been on site and asked us to prove it — so we built these comparisons the way we'd want to read them: straight about where each tool wins and where it doesn't. Here's how the main janitorial software platforms stack up on pricing, free plans, proof of service, and best fit.

Most "best commercial cleaning software" lists are written by people who've never lost a contract over a disputed clean. These aren't.
Each comparison below is written from an operator's chair: what the tool is genuinely good at, what it costs (including the fees the marketing pages bury), and who it actually fits. We concede where competitors are stronger — because the alternative is losing your trust on the first inflated claim. Pick the comparison that matches the tool you're weighing, or use the at-a-glance table to narrow it down fast.
Six platforms, one honest comparison each. Tap any tool to see the full breakdown.
Pricing as of June 2026. Quote-only tools don't publish rates. Full breakdowns linked in the last column.

Start from your bottleneck, not the feature list. The right tool is the one built for the problem actually costing you contracts or margin.
You need bidding and invoicing. CleanGuru is strong and affordable on the sales side; Janitorial Manager software goes deeper for mid-size and larger operators, if you're willing to go through a quote.
You want scheduling, time tracking, and communication. Connecteam is the low-cost, well-reviewed option with a genuine free plan. Jobber fits if you run a broad home-services business rather than cleaning specifically — just watch the per-seat pricing.
You need job costing and financial visibility per account. BrightGo is the modern, well-engineered choice for larger operations. Swept is an established option for multi-site teams.
You need real-time visibility — live crew status, GPS check-in, and a no-show alert the moment a shift is missed instead of the next morning. ProTeams flags a no-show within minutes and routes it to your ops team, so you can cover the gap before the client notices. Connecteam and Jobber track time and location well, but don't turn it into cleaning-specific coverage alerts.
This is the one we built for. ProTeams puts proof of service on every plan — including a free one — with client-facing tools (portal, issue escalation, auto-delivered reports) that show clients the work got done and help you keep the contracts you win, priced by team with unlimited sites. Bidding and invoicing arrive in 2026.
