BrightGo is a modern, well-built, cleaning-specific platform — strong on job costing and built for larger operations. ProTeams is built for the operator still growing into that scale, with transparent pricing and a free start. Two good tools for different stages; here's an honest look at both.

You're a growing SMB cleaning operator
You run a larger, scaling operation
BrightGo is modern, cleaning-specific workforce and operations software, founded in 2023, with a flagship strength in job costing and margin intelligence.
It's a genuinely impressive, well-engineered platform built by an experienced team, and it's VC-backed. Its standout is financial visibility — understanding the true cost and margin of each job — which is an area where, candidly, it's ahead of ProTeams today. Operators who price without that depth still need a clear method to estimate commercial cleaning costs from hours and wage before the bid goes out. It's aimed at larger cleaning operations, in the range of roughly 50 to 1,000 workers.
So this isn't a teardown. BrightGo and ProTeams are both modern tools built for commercial cleaning; the meaningful difference is stage and emphasis. BrightGo leans into deep job costing for larger, scaling operators. ProTeams leans into transparent pricing, a free start, and client-facing proof of service for operators earlier in that journey.
BrightGo doesn't publish pricing. It's quote-only with no free plan — you book a demo and receive a custom quote, which fits its larger-operator focus.
ProTeams publishes its pricing instead: Free Forever, then Launch $79, Growth $199, and Scale $349 per month — by team, with unlimited sites — plus a 21-day trial with no credit card. If seeing a price and starting without a sales process matters at your stage, that's the practical difference.
ProTeams figures from proteams.io/pricing. BrightGo details from its public positioning (2026); pricing is quote-only.

Two modern, cleaning-specific tools. We run two cleaning companies ourselves, so this is an operator's read rather than a marketing one — here's where each genuinely leads, in our own words.
BrightGo makes sense if you run a larger, scaling cleaning operation where job costing and margin intelligence are the priority, you want a modern, well-engineered platform, and a custom quote and demo-led process fit how you buy.
A BrightGo alternative like ProTeams makes more sense if you're a growing SMB operator who wants transparent pricing, a free way to start, and client-facing proof of service at the center — without needing the scale or the procurement process that BrightGo's larger-workforce focus assumes.
The honest summary: these are two modern tools built for different stages. BrightGo is excellent for larger operations focused on margin; ProTeams is built to be accessible and proof-of-service-first for the operators still growing toward that.
