Drag to match your business — it runs in your browser, we never see your numbers.
Illustrative estimate with adjustable assumptions — not a guarantee.
Carpet work is priced by area, soiling, and what sits on the floor — and won back every season. BY5 quotes it your way and keeps your chemistry covered.
Square footage, rooms, stairs, soiling level, upholstery, and rugs build the price — not one flat number that loses money on the heavy jobs.
Quarterly, bi-annual, and annual rebooking with frequency discounts keep customers on a cycle instead of vanishing after a single deep-clean.
Detergent, spotter, and protectant auto-estimate into the quote and your extractor markup is baked in — so consumables never quietly eat the margin.
Everything you need to run the work — quote to cash — in one place.
Steam and hot-water extraction, encapsulation, stain and pet-odor treatment, upholstery, and tile & grout — priced by room, stair, and square foot.
Area and oriental rug cleaning, rug pads, fringe, and pickup & delivery quoted and tracked as their own line items.
Quarterly, bi-annual, and annual cadences with frequency discounts and autopay.
Assign the right tech with live load scoring, then capture before/after photos on every job.

Carpet work is priced by what’s on the floor and what’s been done to it. Three bedrooms and a flight of stairs is one job; the same rooms with two dogs and a decade of traffic lanes is a different one, and software that can’t tell the difference makes you eat the gap. Then there’s the rug side — pickup, in-shop wash, pad, fringe, delivery — which most field-service tools simply can’t represent.
BY5 prices the way carpet cleaners actually bid: by room, stair, and square foot, with soiling level, upholstery, and rugs in the number from the start. Steam and hot-water extraction, encapsulation, stain and pet-odor treatment, tile and grout — your pricebook, your rates. And rug work gets first-class treatment: pickup and delivery, rug pads, and fringe are their own quoted, tracked line items, not a note in the margin.
A job runs like this: the client books from your site or calls, you quote room by room, and they approve and e-sign from their phone. On the day, your tech opens the crew app, clocks in, shoots the before photos, and works the order. Protectant, deodorizer, and furniture moving are sitting there as add-ons — the upsell happens on the quote, not as an awkward doorway negotiation.
Then the part every client asks about: "when can we walk on it?" The service report answers it for you — drying-time notifications put a "safe to walk on in about X hours" estimate right on the report (Starter and up), so the callback question answers itself. The invoice is one click, paid by card, ACH, or with a tip. And because deep-cleans are seasonal, the client goes on a quarterly, bi-annual, or annual cycle that rebooks and rebills automatically.
BY5 fits the single truck-mount owner-operator, the multi-van company running residential and commercial accounts, and the shop that splits time between wall-to-wall and oriental rugs. If your current stack is a paper invoice book and a wall calendar with arrows on it, this is the upgrade your margin has been waiting for.
Start free — no credit card required. Paid plans from $39/mo, and every plan includes unlimited crew members.
A single truck-mount runs on Solo — quoting, autopay, and the crew app. Multi-van shops pick Starter for online booking, SMS, dispatch, and drying-time notifications on the report.
