Choose Clean Scheduler if you run a cleaning business that needs quote-to-invoice workflows, mixed residential and commercial books, and bookkeeper-friendly AR — including matching Zelle and bank deposits to open invoices.
Pricing last verified June 2026. Jobber publishes tiered plans: Core from about $39/mo for one user, Connect from about $119/mo for up to five users, Grow from about $199/mo, and Plus at about $599/mo. Additional users and annual vs monthly billing change the total quickly.

View Clean Scheduler pricing →Most owners migrate active customers first, import the next two weeks of visits, and run new quotes and invoices from Clean Scheduler while finishing open AR in Jobber. You do not need a big-bang cutover on day one.
If your bookkeeper spends hours matching Zelle screenshots to invoices, bank deposit matching alone can justify a parallel trial.
Straight answers for cleaning business owners evaluating Clean Scheduler.
It depends on team size and which features you need. Solo operators may pay similar entry prices. Growing teams often find Clean Scheduler Business competitive because field seats are bundled rather than priced per user like Jobber’s higher tiers.
Not today. If GPS fleet tracking and route optimization are must-haves, Jobber’s Grow tier may be the better fit until we ship comparable field tracking.
Yes. One workspace supports mixed residential and commercial books with property-level detail, multi-site customers, and month-end AR reports built for operators who invoice on net terms.
No. The 7-day trial includes core quote, schedule, and invoice workflows without entering a card.
Run your next quote, recurring visit, and invoice in a 7-day free trial — built for cleaning ops, not every trade under the sun.
