The short version
Cleaning is high-volume, small-ticket work where speed wins the booking. ZipplyQuote lets you quote a home in seconds on your phone, take a deposit to lock the slot, and look completely professional doing it — for a one-time $49, no monthly bill.
Quote a home in seconds, on the spot
The customer wants a number now, not an email tomorrow. Build a clean estimate while you're walking the home and you book the job before they call the next cleaner. A typical quote:
| Deep clean + recurring | Price |
|---|---|
| Deep clean (3 bed / 2 bath) | $240.00 |
| Inside oven & fridge | $55.00 |
| Interior windows | $45.00 |
| Recurring bi-weekly rate | $130.00 / visit |
| Deposit to hold first clean | $60.00 |
Save your standard packages — standard clean, deep clean, move-out, add-ons — and reuse them so quoting takes seconds even on a packed day.
A deposit turns a "maybe" into a booking
No-shows and ghosting kill cleaning schedules. Asking for a small deposit through your own PayPal, Stripe, or Cash App filters out the flaky leads and protects your day. The customer taps once; the money goes straight to you.
Look like an established business from day one
A tidy, branded estimate signals trust and lets you hold a higher price than a texted number. ZipplyQuote makes a solo cleaner look like an established company.
The real cost: one payment vs a monthly bill
a small-business invoicing subscription and the other field-service apps are subscriptions. The sticker price isn't the real number — the real number is what you pay over the years you run your business. At $33/month, that's roughly $1,980 over five years. ZipplyQuote is $49 once. Total cost at year five: still $49.
Illustrative five-year total at a published entry rate (June 2026). Your actual cost depends on plan, users, and add-ons. ZipplyQuote is a focused quoting tool, not a full CRM — that's the trade-off, and for a solo operator it's usually the right one.
Where ZipplyQuote fits — and where it doesn't
It fits solo cleaners and small teams who want fast quotes and deposits without a monthly bill. Look at a full platform if you need automated recurring billing and staff scheduling across a large client roster. ZipplyQuote keeps the front end fast: quote, deposit, booked.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can I quote a cleaning job?
Seconds. Save your standard packages — standard, deep, move-out, and add-ons — then tap them in and show a clean total while you're still walking the home, so you book before the customer shops around.
Can I take a deposit to stop no-shows?
Yes. Connect your own PayPal, Stripe, or Cash App and ask for a small deposit to hold the slot. The customer taps once and pays you directly; ZipplyQuote never touches the money.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. ZipplyQuote is offline-first and runs on your phone, so you can quote in a home with weak signal and send the estimate when you're back online.
Is it a subscription?
No. It's $49 once, with no recurring fee — a better fit than a monthly invoicing subscription for a high-volume, small-ticket cleaning business.
