Swept was built by cleaning operators who understood the problem well enough to leave the business and build software. ProTeams was built by an operator who never left. That difference shows up in product depth, pricing model, and what happens when a contract is on the line.
Swept is a legitimate cleaning platform. Here's when each one makes sense.
We'd rather help you make the right call than win a conversion that isn't the right fit.
Both started from real experience. The difference is who's still using it.
“Swept was built by people who understood this industry — I respect that. The difference is they left the operation to build the software. I didn't. Every update ProTeams ships is driven by something I ran into managing my own crews last week. That feedback loop is what makes the product better than anything built from the outside looking in.
ProTeams has been battle-tested across 100+ commercial worksites since 2020. Not in a research phase. Not in beta. In live, contract-bearing commercial cleaning operations with real consequences when something doesn't work. That's the standard every ProTeams feature is held to before it ships.
Swept covers the core workflow well. These are the moments where the core isn't enough.
Every completed shift automatically generates a branded, photo-documented report delivered to your client portal. No additional plan required. No manual export. Proof of service is part of the base workflow.
When a crew member doesn't show, ProTeams connects the alert to a one-tap reassignment from your operations dashboard. The service record stays intact and the response happens inside the same workflow — no switching between systems.
Chat, media sharing, SMS alerts, push notifications, and email — all included alongside your scheduling, GPS check-in, and client reporting. One platform, one bill, no gaps between systems.
GPS verification and geofencing enforcement on every shift — but the output is what matters. Every check-in creates a timestamped, site-specific record built for client verification, not just internal payroll.
When something goes wrong on a shift — a facility issue, access problem, or supply shortage — your team escalates it through ProTeams with photo documentation. Your client is notified automatically, with evidence.
ProTeams uses team-size pricing. Growing your portfolio — winning new contracts, adding new sites — doesn't automatically drive your software cost up. Your pricing model should reward growth, not penalize it.
The difference matters as you grow. In commercial cleaning, contract wins mean more sites — not necessarily more staff. Swept's model charges you more every time you cross a location threshold. ProTeams doesn't.
