Written by the Sweepivo team in October 2026. We make Sweepivo, so we’ve kept the other products to plain descriptions; check each company’s own site for current prices and features before you decide.
Short answer: If you run a cleaning business and want an alternative to BookingKoala, look at Sweepivo (made only for cleaning businesses, in English and Spanish, from $29/month), Jobber, ZenMaid, Housecall Pro and Launch27. The right pick depends on whether you want one app for booking, your team and payroll, or a tool for one part of the job.
Why cleaning businesses look at alternatives to BookingKoala
BookingKoala is known for booking sites, so owners sometimes want the booking form, the schedule, the cleaner app and payroll together instead of joining separate tools.
What to check before you switch
- Pricing that matches yours: bedrooms and bathrooms, square feet, per window or your own questions, with extras and minimums.
- Online booking with real open times, so clients can book without a phone call.
- A simple app for your cleaners, with the address, the checklist and the entry code.
- Payments and payroll in the same place as the schedule.
- Language: whether your team and your clients can use it in Spanish.
- Moving your data: whether you can bring your customer list and upcoming visits.
BookingKoala alternatives to consider
1. Sweepivo
Sweepivo is cleaning business software made only for cleaning companies: house cleaning and maid services, janitorial, windows, pressure washing, pools, carpets and vacation rentals. Clients get an instant price and book a real open time online; your team gets a cleaner app with directions, checklists, entry codes and GPS clock-in; cards are charged after the job through your own Square account; and cleaner pay adds itself up. It includes a website with a page for every service and town, review invites, referrals and gift cards, an AI phone receptionist on bigger plans, and a Commercial Suite add-on for walkthrough bids, signed contracts, inspections and monthly invoices. Everything works in English and Spanish, for the owner, the cleaners and the clients.
- Price: Sweep $29/month (up to 5 cleaners), Shine $65/month (up to 15), Sparkle $149/month (up to 35) and Spotless $229/month (up to 60, then $4 per extra cleaner). 30-day free trial, no card needed, no contract.
- Best for: cleaning businesses from a solo cleaner to 60+ cleaners that want one app for booking, the team and getting paid.
