A ZenMaid alternative that brings in the customers too
ZenMaid is popular, low-cost scheduling software for maid services. FieldStacker schedules the cleans as well, and adds your website, business email, postcards and door-to-door tools to win new homes.
Rep $30/mo, or $25/mo billed yearly · 14-day free trial · no contract
ZenMaid is built by maid-service owners and priced low to start: $19/mo plus $4 per cleaner on Starter (up to 40 appointments a month), $39/mo plus $14 per cleaner on Pro, and $49/mo plus $24 per cleaner on Pro Max. Texts are sold in bundles from $14 for 125. It schedules cleans well, but it does not build your website or find you new customers, and its booking form takes requests you confirm by hand rather than live bookings.

Questions people ask
Is ZenMaid cheaper than FieldStacker?
For scheduling alone, often yes. ZenMaid Starter is $19/mo plus $4 per cleaner (up to 40 appointments a month), and Pro is $39/mo plus $14 per cleaner, so $109/mo for 5 cleaners. FieldStacker Rep is $30/mo and Team Pro is $250/mo with 10 seats, and includes your website, business email, postcards and door-to-door tools, which ZenMaid does not offer.
Can customers book a cleaning online with ZenMaid?
They can fill in a booking form, and you can show a price on it. ZenMaid's help center says the time picker is "not a live calendar", so you contact each customer to confirm the time, and bookings wait in a Pending tab. With FieldStacker, customers pick a real open time.
Does ZenMaid have a customer portal?
Not according to its help center, which suggests workarounds for sharing appointments with customers. FieldStacker includes a customer portal.
Does FieldStacker do cleaner payroll like ZenMaid?
Not yet. ZenMaid Pro calculates cleaner pay and exports it as a spreadsheet. If that is a must today, ZenMaid is the better fit for it.
