Jobber Alternative for Cleaning Businesses
Why people switch from Jobber
Jobber is built for field service in general. MaidLoop is built for the cleaning job loop.
Jobber is a strong field-service management platform: quotes, work orders, dispatch, invoicing, and a customer portal. It is also priced and built for operations that run crews, trucks, and multiple service types. If you are a solo cleaner or a small cleaning team, the only parts of Jobber you'll actually use are the scheduling parts. MaidLoop is those parts, at a flat $15/mo.
The reason people move is straightforward. They signed up for Jobber to schedule recurring cleans and found themselves paying for a quoting tool, an invoicing suite, a payment processor, and a customer portal — most of which they handle in a different way (a paper quote, a Square invoice, a phone call to confirm). The scheduling parts of Jobber are good. They're just bundled with parts that a small cleaning operation doesn't need.
Jobber vs MaidLoop
Here's how the two stack up on the features a solo cleaner or small team actually uses.
| Feature | Jobber | MaidLoop |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | From $29/mo billed annually or $49/mo monthly; additional users $29/mo | $15/mo flat for the business |
| Built for cleaning specifically | Built for general field service | Yes — customers, services, jobs are cleaning-first |
| Recurring jobs | Yes | Yes — weekly, biweekly, or monthly |
| Cleaner assignment | Yes | Yes — assign one cleaner per job |
| Conflict-free scheduling | Yes | Yes — blocks overlapping jobs on save |
| Mobile access | Yes | Yes — built for the day, not the back office |
| Quotes and online payments | Yes — full quoting and payment suite | No — invoices and payment status tracking included, online payments not |
| GPS and route optimization | Yes | No — outside the scope of a $15/mo scheduler |

The last two rows are the real difference. Jobber bundles quoting and online payments because most field-service businesses need them. MaidLoop includes invoices and payment status tracking, but it leaves out online payments and routing on purpose.
The Jobber scheduling loop, without the rest of the field-service suite
MaidLoop keeps the parts of Jobber a solo cleaner or small team will actually use, and drops the rest.
Customers with notes. Address, gate code, pets, and preferences. Notes show up on the job card automatically.
Service catalog. Define your services with default duration and price. Schedule them many times without re-entry.
Recurring jobs. Repeat a job every week, every two weeks, or every month. The schedule fills in for the cycle.
Cleaner assignment. Assign one cleaner to each job and check their availability before saving.
Mobile today view. Today, in time order, with one tap to mark a job complete or cancel it. Built for the field.
Public booking link. A simple link new customers can use to request a time — included with the $15/mo plan.
If quoting, native online payments, and route optimization are core to your day, Jobber is the better fit. If you handle payment in cash, check, or a separate tool, MaidLoop covers the schedule plus invoices and payment tracking for a fraction of the cost.
$15/mo, no per-seat, no dispatch tier
- Unlimited cleaners and unlimited jobs
- One-time and recurring jobs
- Mobile today view and a public booking link
- Cancel anytime
The price is the same whether you have one cleaner or ten. There's no "growth tier" you hit the moment your second cleaner joins. The product is built for the small end of the market, and the small end gets one price.
Switching from Jobber to MaidLoop
How is MaidLoop different from Jobber?
MaidLoop is a focused cleaning scheduler at a single flat price. Jobber is a broader field-service platform with quotes, invoicing, dispatch, and GPS. If you mainly need the scheduling loop plus invoices and payment tracking, MaidLoop does that for $15/mo without the per-user overhead.
Can I move my customers and jobs from Jobber?
Yes. You can re-create your customers and services in MaidLoop, then schedule the next cycle. The move is manual: add customers, add your services, and schedule the first jobs.
Does MaidLoop have invoicing and payments?
MaidLoop includes invoices and payment status tracking (cash, check, and bank transfer). It does not include quoting or native online payments. If you need a full quoting and payment-processing suite, Jobber is the better fit. If you handle payment outside the app and just need the schedule plus invoices, MaidLoop is.
How long does it take to learn MaidLoop?
The today view is intentionally minimal — open the app, see today's jobs, mark them complete.
Run your cleaning schedule without paying for software built for general field service
If you're a solo cleaner or a small cleaning team, you don't have crews to dispatch, trucks to route, or quotes to send. You have a list of regular customers, a phone, and a week of jobs to run. The right tool for that is shorter than a field-service platform — and cheaper.
