Janitorial software for a small commercial crew

Short answer: For photo inspections, shift scheduling, and GPS site checks with a published monthly card, start with Swept Optimize at $150/mo for up to 15 locations (2026-11-08). For a scope-based commercial platform whose published floor is $1,000/mo and whose higher tiers have no public number, read Janitorial Manager. These are not ranked against each other by a single score. A 15-location subscription and a quote that starts at $1,000 are different offers.

Janitorial Manager

2026-11-08: plans start at $1,000 a month. Higher tiers are custom quotes based on buildings, square footage, users, and features. Not a per-seat rate. Named workflows: bidding, inspections, work orders, inventory, and timekeeping for building service contractors. A staff scheduling calendar is not named on this page. FAQ: no free trial is offered; the stated path is a personalized demo. Contract length is said to be in the proposal, not spelled out as month-to-month.

Residential tools are not substitutes here

Products compared on the cleaning software pages document customer booking and invoicing for house cleaning. They are not shown as janitorial inspection or multi-site audit systems. Connecteam remains a crew time-clock tool, not this workflow either.

Limits

We did not log into either product. Swept band prices above 15 locations were not on the page as numbers. Janitorial Manager does not name a recurring staff calendar on the pricing page; that is not recorded as "no scheduling." Customer quotes on the vendor's own site are not repeated here.

FAQ

Is a maid-booking app enough for inspections and multi-site proof?

Not on the evidence on this page. Swept documents inspections with photo proof, GPS site checks, and per-location checklists on Optimize. Janitorial Manager names bids, inspections, work orders, and inventory, and prices from a scope-based quote. Residential booking tools are not compared here, because their pricing pages do not describe that commercial proof workflow.

Is Swept Optimize the whole price for any number of sites?

No. The card we read on 2026-11-08 says $150/mo for up to 15 locations. The same page says locations are priced in bands and the comparison table mentions bands up to 50, without a dollar amount for each band. Accelerate has no published monthly price.

Does the published starting price apply to every small crew?

The page says plans start at $1,000 a month and the Small Operations card repeats that starting figure. It also says the price is a quote based on buildings, square footage, users, and features. Treat $1,000 as a published floor, not a checkout total.

Is there a free trial?

Swept: Not stated on vendor site (CTA is 'Get Demo'). Janitorial Manager: No free trial stated. FAQ says the way to see the product is a personalized demo.. Neither statement was turned into a trial we completed.
