ZenMaid vs. Jobber
One is built for YOU.
The other is built for HVAC Bros.

If you’ve ever opened a Jobber dashboard and forgotten which kind of service you run, you’re not alone. Jobber is a powerful tool… for HVAC techs, landscapers, and pool cleaning companies. 

But if you run a cleaning business, you need software that makes running your service easier. Not software that makes you an afterthought.

What rhymes with clobber and makes your job harder? 

When you’re using software made for contractors, you spend more time hacking your process than running it.

Want to run payroll?

Better figure out how “job costing” works first.

Need to reschedule a weekly client?

Hope you enjoy digging through nested settings.

Trying to add a last-minute clean?

Many cleaners tell us routing can get complicated if you add last-minute cleans.

ZenMaid was built for the way cleaning businesses actually work.

So you don’t have to worry about bloated workarounds or industrial-grade job forms. Just the right tools for recurring cleans and real cleaning teams.

“Owners tell me that using ZenMaid literally teaches them how to run a better cleaning business, because every. single. feature is designed specifically for the cleaning industry, by people who actually run cleaning services.”
