Where the competitors win
Jobber has the deepest quoting and invoicing of the three, with visual quotes, optional line items and job costing on its top plan. It also has the widest integration list. The trade-off is price, which depends on your plan and how many users you add. The features most useful to a cleaning crew, such as automated client reminders and QuickBooks sync, start at the Connect tier.
ZenMaid is an established scheduler built for maid services, with a 14-day trial and a low $19 starting price. Its Starter plan caps you at 40 appointments a month, and SMS is billed on top of every plan.
Where Sollos wins
Flat pricing for a crew. Sollos charges $119 a month for up to 10 cleaners and $189 for up to 25, with text allowances included. Jobber's price depends on plan and number of users, so check its calculator for your team's total.
Automated client texts. Sollos sends appointment reminder texts before the clean and review-request texts after it, on all plans.
Shift filling by SMS. When a cleaner calls out, you can text the open shift to your subcontractor list. The first person to tap the link gets the job, and the system locks it so two people cannot claim it. Subcontractors do not need an app.
One back office. Scheduling, clock-in, invoicing, payroll reports and team chat sit in one place, so you don't need a separate group text for crew messages.
Where Sollos is weaker: two-way client texting is not available yet, and team chat is for staff only. QuickBooks and Xero are on the roadmap, not released. Jobber and ZenMaid have more integrations today. Text allowances stop at 300 to 1,500 a month on the plans below Enterprise.
Why we built Sollos around SMS
Sollos was shaped day to day by a cleaning company that uses it. Most of the day's problems, such as a cleaner calling out at 7 a.m. or a shift nobody can cover, arrive by text. We built shift filling around the same tool your subcontractors already use.
Who should pick which
Pick Jobber if you run a multi-trade business, need deep quoting, job costing or a large set of integrations, and the price for your team size fits your budget.
Pick ZenMaid if you run a maid service, want a cleaning-focused scheduler at the lowest starting price, and can stay within the 40-appointment cap on Starter or pay for Pro. Budget for SMS charges, which are billed separately.
Pick Sollos if you run a house cleaning or janitorial crew of up to 25 cleaners, use subcontractors to fill shifts, want automated client reminders and review requests included, and want invoicing, payroll, clock-in and team chat at one flat monthly price.
Check the prices before you buy
Prices change. Confirm them on each vendor's pricing page before you commit. Sollos has a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can test scheduling and shift filling on your own week.
