Comparison
Spotless Pro vs Housecall Pro
Housecall Pro covers the whole home-services space with a deep feature set: online booking, GPS, marketing, payroll, call answering. Spotless Pro covers cleaning businesses with a short list at a flat price. Here's an honest side by side.
What Housecall Pro has that we don't
If any of these matter to you, Housecall Pro is the right call.
Online booking and review management
Customers book slots on your site; review requests go out automatically. We take estimate requests and leave scheduling to you.
GPS, routes and dispatch
Employee location, route optimization and dispatch boards on Essentials and MAX. Our crew app is a focused job list, no tracking.
QuickBooks sync, commissions, flat-rate price books
On Essentials and up. We offer a monthly bookkeeping summary instead; accounting sync is planned.
Sales proposals and recurring service plans
Good-better-best proposals and membership plans on MAX. We keep estimates single-price and recurring jobs simple.
Add-ons for nearly everything
Payroll, marketing campaigns, call answering, websites, vehicle GPS, AI. Each is an extra line on the bill, but they exist.
Scale and support
Large company, big support team, onboarding specialists on MAX, open API.
What Spotless Pro does differently
Not more. Narrower, and built around how a cleaning business actually runs.
One flat price with the whole crew included
Crew is $29/mo for everyone. Housecall Pro starts at $79/mo for one user; MAX adds $35/mo per extra user past eight.
In-person card payments on every plan
Stripe card readers, cash and check are included on every plan; nothing about taking payment is an add-on.
Cleaning only
The estimate form, services list and reports are shaped for cleaning work, not for plumbers and electricians too.
Sales tax by service address
Jurisdictions matched from the address, with the items-taxed, labor-not rule where it applies, and totals by jurisdiction for your books.
A referral program that pays out automatically
Codes on receipts, a discount for the friend, a gift card for the referrer. $10/mo add-on.
Built by a cleaning business that runs on it
Fewer features, each one used daily on real jobs.
