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.

You don’t need more software.
You need one that fits.
With Jobber, you end up paying for expensive features you’ll never use. With ZenMaid, you only pay for what you need — from first-time client booking to final payout.
Because you don't need:
Franchise-level job costing spreadsheets
Quote-based pipeline tools for $20k HVAC installs
A cluttered dashboard with buttons you’ll never click on
You do need:
An easy way to capture leads and book cleaning clients
To know who’s cleaning what, where, and when
Automated communication at every touchpoint
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.”

Letting clients book automatically with Jobber sounds nice… until the wrong-fit clients start taking charge of your calendar and your team burns out.
