Who this is for
You clean windows. A mix of residential jobs that pay well and come once or twice a year, and storefront accounts that pay less but come every week or month and are the reason you can predict your income.
Window cleaning is a route business with two different customers. The residential half is a quoting business — someone calls, you price it, you do it once. The commercial half is a schedule business — thirty storefronts on weekly, fortnightly and monthly intervals, and the whole thing runs on route density.
Most operators need software mainly for the second half.
The comparison

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jobber | $49/mo | 1 | One to four people | Recurring routes, monthly billing, easy reschedule |
| QuoteIQ | $29.99/mo | 1 | Solo, building a route | Cheapest; satellite measurement for commercial quotes |
| Housecall Pro | $79/mo | 1 | Five or more cleaners | Route optimisation, five seats at $189 |

Jobber — best for most window cleaners
$49/mo · One to four peopleThe default field service platform for small home service businesses, and the one most operators compare everything else against.
Three things make Jobber the default here.
Recurring jobs at any interval. A storefront on weekly, an office on monthly, a residential customer on twice-yearly — all three live in the same schedule without you thinking about them.
Monthly recurring invoices. Four weekly visits, one invoice. Window cleaning has small ticket sizes and high visit counts, and invoicing per visit will consume more of your week than the work does.
Bulk rescheduling. You will move a day for rain twenty times a season. Doing it in a few taps rather than job by job is worth more than most feature lists suggest.
The limit is routing. Jobber orders a day’s jobs; it does not optimise a dense round. On a spread-out residential mix that costs nothing. On forty storefronts in a downtown core, it costs you a stop a day.
Core is $49/mo plus $29 per seat.
What it does well
- The most polished product in the category. Onboarding is fast and the mobile app is the one crews complain about least.
- Client-facing experience — booking page, quote approvals, payment — is a step above everything cheaper.
- Deepest integration list, so it fits whatever you already run the books in.
What it does badly
- The advertised entry price is one user. Seats are $29/mo each on every tier, so a three-person crew on Core is $107/mo, not $49.
- Automation that most operators consider essential — reminders, follow-ups — is Connect and up, a 2.8x jump from Core.
- Prepaid annual pricing is what the marketing quotes; the no-commitment monthly number is meaningfully higher.
Who it fits: One person to a mid-size crew. The Core tier is genuinely usable solo; the useful automation starts at Connect.
QuoteIQ — best cheap option
$29.99/mo · Solo cleaners building a routeField service software built for exterior cleaning and outdoor home service crews, with property measurement baked into the quote.
$29.99/mo is roughly one storefront account a month, which makes this an easy call for a solo cleaner.
MapMeasure Pro is more useful here than in most indoor trades. Measuring a building’s footprint and elevations off satellite imagery gets you a defensible starting number on a commercial quote before you have driven there — useful when you are bidding a strip mall you have never seen. It does not count panes, and you should still walk it, but it beats guessing from a phone call.
Getting paid on site matters for the residential half, where “I’ll post you a cheque” is still a thing people say.
Recurring route management is thinner than Jobber’s, and there is no route optimisation. For a round you can still hold in your head, that is fine.
What it does well
- Cheapest real entry point of anything in this category — $29.99 gets a working quote-to-invoice loop, not a crippled trial tier.
- MapMeasure Pro measures a property off satellite imagery, which is the actual job on a lawn, driveway or roof quote.
- Every tier includes the features. No add-on menu bolted on at checkout.
What it does badly
- Smaller company than the incumbents. Fewer integrations, and you will occasionally be the person filing the bug.
- Built around exterior and outdoor trades. If you run commercial mechanical, this is the wrong shape.
- Seat counts are tight below Elite — a four-person crew is already on the $149.99 tier.
Who it fits: Solo operator to a four-person crew, mostly exterior cleaning and outdoor work.
Housecall Pro — best for a dense commercial round
$79/mo · Five or more cleanersJobber’s closest competitor, priced for teams rather than solos, with stronger dispatch and marketing tooling.
If your business has become a downtown storefront round with several cleaners, this is the pick, and route optimisation on the Max plan is why.
Window cleaning storefront work is the densest routing problem on this site — twenty or thirty small stops within a few blocks. Reordering those properly is worth an extra several accounts a day, and at storefront rates that compounds across a month into real money.
Essentials at $189/mo includes five seats; Max at $329 includes eight and is where route optimisation lives. For a dense round, Max is the tier that pays.
Ignore Basic at $79 for one user, and note the sixth Essentials seat is $100/mo.
What it does well
- Five seats included on Essentials is the best seat-per-dollar deal of the three once you are past two people.
- Dispatch and routing are stronger than Jobber’s at the equivalent tier.
- Recurring service plans on Max are genuinely good if you sell maintenance contracts.
What it does badly
- Worst entry price in the category: $79/mo for a single user, 60% more than Jobber Core for less.
- Extra seats on Essentials are $100/mo — the most expensive seat of any tool here.
- Add-on pricing is not published. You will get those numbers on a sales call, not off the website.
Who it fits: Two to eight people. The seat maths only starts working in your favour once you have a crew.
ServiceTitan — not this trade
Quote only · Large operationsEnterprise field service management for multi-truck operations, sold through a sales process rather than a pricing page.
Named because leaving the market leader off a roundup would make it an advertisement.
Built for skilled-trade service calls with price books, memberships and van inventory. A window cleaning round is high-frequency, low-ticket work that uses none of that. No published pricing, an annual contract, a paid implementation.
What it does well
- Nothing else touches it for a large operation: reporting, payroll, inventory, call tracking, financing at the door.
- Built for a business where somebody’s full-time job is dispatch.
What it does badly
- No published pricing, an annual contract and an implementation fee. This is not a tool a solo operator buys.
- For a one to four person crew it is the wrong product at any price — you would use perhaps a tenth of it.
Who it fits: Ten trucks and up, with an office manager whose job includes running the software.
How we picked
Prices read off each vendor’s own pricing page on 31 August 2026, at the no-commitment monthly rate with seats added.
For window cleaning we weighted recurring interval handling, monthly billing against multiple visits, how painful a weather day is, and routing on a dense round. Those four decide whether a storefront business makes money.
We gave no weight to price books, inventory or memberships, none of which this trade needs.
We earn nothing from Jobber or ServiceTitan, and Jobber is the pick for most operators here.
What we would do
Solo, mostly residential: QuoteIQ at $29.99.
Solo to four, mixed residential and storefront: Jobber Core at $49, Connect at $139 once automated reminders start saving you wasted trips.
Five or more on a dense commercial round: Housecall Pro Max at $329 for the route optimisation — but test it against your actual round in the trial first, because on a spread-out route the gain is much smaller than the sales page implies.
Questions operators actually ask
What software is best for a window cleaning business?
Jobber for one to four people — recurring jobs handle a storefront round properly and rescheduling a weather day takes seconds. Housecall Pro Max once you have five or more cleaners on a dense commercial round, for the route optimisation.
How do I price and quote window cleaning in software?
Save your pane and storefront rates as line items, then quoting becomes selecting and multiplying. None of these count panes for you. QuoteIQ can measure a building footprint off satellite imagery, which helps on larger commercial jobs but does not replace a walk-around.
Can these handle weekly and monthly storefront routes?
Yes, all four support recurring jobs at any interval. The difference shows in billing — you want one monthly invoice covering four weekly visits, not four separate invoices. Jobber and Housecall Pro both handle that as a recurring invoice against a recurring job.
What happens when it rains?
You move the day, and how painful that is varies. Jobber's bulk reschedule handles it in a few taps, which matters because you will do it twenty times a season. Test this specific thing during a free trial — every demo shows you a clean schedule, never a broken one.
Is software worth it for a solo window cleaner?
Once you have recurring commercial accounts, yes. Residential one-offs you can run from a calendar. A storefront round of thirty accounts on different intervals is exactly the thing human memory is bad at, and a missed monthly clean is usually a lost account.
