What maid service software does, and how the bill is counted
Short answer: Maid service software stores clients, recurring visits, staff access, and invoices. The bill changes with who counts as a user. ZenMaid Pro for one Owner and nine other active profiles is $165/mo before SMS. That single example is not a ranking. The ranked 10-person page is separate, and it refuses a single Markate total.
Records to prepare
- Client list: name, address, access notes, and which services repeat.
- Visit pattern: weekly, every two weeks, or monthly, plus the first deep clean if it is longer than the repeat visit.
- People who need a login, split into the owner, cleaners, and office staff. Contractors who clean are still people on some vendors' bills.
- How the client pays today: a published booking form, a quote they approve, or an invoice you send.
Those notes are yours. This site does not store them. The pricing calculator can turn your own wage and visit time into a customer price. It does not pick software.
How vendors count a person
| Software | Entry plan | Monthly entry price | Who the price counts | Price read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZenMaid | Starter | $19/mo | 1 included Owner plus each other active profile. Limit text: Up to 40 appointments/month. The monthly base includes one Owner profile; other active profiles are extra. | 2026-11-08 |
| Launch27 | Base | $75/mo | Flat monthly plan, unlimited users advertised. Limit text: Unlimited users, unlimited bookings | 2026-11-08 |
| BookingKoala | Starter | $27/mo | Providers, storage, or contacts. Limit text: 5 Providers or 5 GB. Starts at the listed monthly price; not a per-provider rate. | 2026-11-08 |
| Jobber | Core | $49/mo | Users on a named plan. Limit text: 1 user (only size option shown); extra users $29/mo each | 2026-11-03 |
| Housecall Pro | Basic | $79/mo | Users included on a named plan, then a per-user add where published. Limit text: 1 user included | 2026-11-03 |
| Markate | Owner Operator | $49.95/mo | Owner Operator base plus additional active employees, owner role unstated. Limit text: Owner Operator base. Additional active employees are not included in this price. | 2026-11-08 |
ZenMaid additional active profiles cost $14/mo each on Pro, on top of the $39 base. Owner plus ten other profiles is $179/mo, which is a different headcount from the nine-profile example above. Annual plans are on request with no public amount. SMS is not in the subscription; bundles start at $14 for 125 messages.
A cost check that is not a ranking
For a scenario you define, write the monthly software figure next to labor, not instead of it. Use one line per vendor from the unit table, then open the 10-person ranking only when you want that specific scenario. Do not subtract one vendor's entry price from another's and call the difference savings. The entry prices above are not quotes for the same team.

FAQ
- Does the base price include the owner?
Only where the vendor says so. ZenMaid includes one Owner profile in the base and bills other active profiles. Markate publishes an Owner Operator price plus a fee for additional active employees, and does not say whether the owner is one of those employees. Launch27 advertises unlimited users on the flat monthly plans. Do not copy one vendor's owner rule onto another.
- What should I have written down before I compare prices?
Who will have a login, which of those people clean versus work in the office, how many recurring visits you expect in a month, and whether clients book themselves or you send quotes. Those facts pick the billing unit. They are not a software ranking.
- Where is the ranked price list?
On best maid service software, which orders products that have one monthly total for a stated 10-person scenario. This page does not repeat that order.
- Is there one monthly price for a 10-person maid company?
No. Jobber: $299/mo on Connect. Housecall Pro: $399/mo on MAX. BookingKoala: $57/mo on Growing. ZenMaid: $165/mo on Pro. Launch27: $299/mo on Plus. Markate: not one total (owner not billed as an extra employee $94.95/mo, or owner also billed $99.95/mo). Read each clause. Markate is two conditionals, not one total.
