What is the cheapest software for a solo detailer or cleaner?

ZenMaid Starter and Rigsheet Solo are both 19 dollars a month, BookingKoala starts around 27, and QuoteIQ around 29.99. The difference that matters is what the entry tier restricts - ZenMaid Starter caps at 40 appointments a month and adds a per-seat charge.

Why is Jobber's real price higher than advertised?

Because QuickBooks sync and GPS sit above the entry Core tier, so the tier most operators actually need is Connect at around 129 dollars a month rather than Core at around 49, plus 29 dollars per extra user.

Compare the tier you actually need, not the advertised one. Jobber and Housecall Pro both advertise an entry price that omits the integrations most operators want, so the real floor is around $129 and $149 a month respectively — plus per-seat charges on top.

How these pages are written

Competitor pricing comes from each vendor's own pricing page and carries a date. Where a price could not be verified at source it is not published at all — DetailPilot's pricing page is client-side rendered and DetailDeck's /pricing has returned a 404, so no number for either appears anywhere on this site. These are small companies whose founders read everything written about them, and an unverified price is a correction waiting to happen.

We also do not oversell our own product: the $4 tier is the core, not the lot — customer texting starts at Solo ($29) — and unlimited users is not category-unique (Urable includes it on every tier).

About Rigsheet

Rigsheet is a job app from Baker Ventures LLC for one-to-three-person mobile service businesses: mobile auto detailers and residential cleaners first. Scheduling with drive-time gaps, quotes with vehicle and home-size pricing, deposits, "on my way" texts, before and after photos, invoices, and automated review requests. Plans start at $4 a month, with unlimited jobs, customers, quotes and invoices on every tier and no per-user fees.

It exists because the alternatives charge a solo operator team prices. A one-van business is not a small version of a ten-truck business, and pricing built around seats and add-ons makes that mistake expensive. The pricing calculators and operator guides on this site are free and need no account.
