A practical cleaning business comparison
A Housecall Pro alternative for cleaning businesses.
Housecall Pro brings booking, recurring jobs and customer payments to several home service trades. Compare that broader scope with Shinivo's residential cleaning prices, repeat visits and small team coverage tools.

No card required. The trial includes Team features.
What Shinivo is built to handle
Give the cleaner the right home details
Keep access, parking, pet, supply and cleaning instructions with the property. The assigned cleaner also sees checklist progress and photo counts from their own previous visit to that home.
Get approval before adding extra work
The customer can approve or decline proposed extra work from a private link before it changes the job total. The original agreement stays on record.
Keep the money clear
See completed work, customer payments and outstanding balances as separate amounts, so you know what was finished, collected and still owed.
How to compare the day to day work
Start with the work you do every week
Compare how each product handles bookings, repeat clients, team assignments, customer messages and payments.
Compare the plan you would actually use
Look at the tools included in the plan that matches your business today and how each option supports a growing team.
Try a day with a missing cleaner
Try a cleaner call out, find a replacement for the visit time, check simultaneous booking capacity and compare the expected labor cost. Then review a customer's deposit and remaining balance.

Does Shinivo include text messages, automatic invoices or accounting connections?

How do direct booking payments work?
With an approved connected Stripe account, choose no payment at booking, a saved card, a fixed or percentage deposit, or full payment. Saving a card does not charge it. Automatic Completion Collection requires the business to choose that policy and a new booking to accept its terms. Otherwise, you collect the balance yourself.
