House cleaning scheduling software, compared on published schedule features

Short answer: Products are grouped by how many of three entry-plan statements are an explicit yes: scheduling, automated reminders, and a mobile app. 3 of 3: Housecall Pro, Markate, ZenMaid. 2 of 3: BookingKoala, Jobber, Launch27. Names inside a group are alphabetical. Price is not an input, and a tie is not a winner.

What a group means

A point is only yes on the entry plan. "Yes (plan not specified)" would be labeled, not counted as included on the cheapest plan. A feature the vendor marks on a higher plan does not add a point here. "Not on this plan" is the vendor's own mark. "Not stated" is left as not stated. The methodology page covers the eight-feature leaderboard and the 10-person price list. This page is neither of those.

"Not stated on vendor site" means the official pricing page we read does not mention the feature. It is not the same as "No". Feature labels are summarized from each vendor's pricing page; see methodology.

FAQ

Does a yes on scheduling mean recurring visits can be edited later?

No. On this page, scheduling means the vendor's pricing or plan list names scheduling. It does not mean we opened a help article for recurring edits, availability, or who is notified. A missing help-article detail stays "not evaluated." That is not the same as the vendor marking the feature off the plan.

Why is Connecteam not in a group?

Connecteam documents crew scheduling and a time clock. Customer booking and invoicing are not documented, so it is not an all-in-one house-cleaning schedule. It can sit beside one of the products above. It is not grouped with them.

Why is there no number-one product?

Several entry plans document the same three statements. Alphabetical order inside a group is only so the page is stable. It is not a quality score, a commission order, or a price order.

Which entry plans do not document automated reminders?

Jobber (Not on this plan) A reminder that the vendor marks on a higher plan is still that higher plan's feature. Check the comparison table.
