What sets BY5 apart for cleaning

Generic field-service tools make you bend your cleaning business to a blank invoice. BY5 is built the other way around.

01
🏷️

Priced like a cleaner, not a blank form

Quotes build from bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage with real cleaning add-ons — not an empty line-item box you fill in by hand every time.

02
🔁

Recurring revenue that runs itself

Cadences, frequency discounts, and autopay rebill every recurring clean automatically — most tools stop at a one-off invoice.

03
📸

Proof on every single visit

Before/after photos are tied to the job, so "did they show?" and quality disputes are settled by the record, not an argument.

What cleaning business software should actually do

A cleaning company doesn’t run on one-off invoices — it runs on Tuesdays. The biweekly clean on Maple Street, the weekly office contract downtown, the monthly deep-clean that always books the first Friday. Most software treats each of those as a fresh job you re-enter by hand, so the schedule lives in one app, the prices live in a spreadsheet, and the billing lives in your head.

BY5 treats recurring cleans as what they are: revenue on a cadence. You quote once — bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, add-ons — and the schedule, the crew assignment, the invoice, and the card charge all follow from that quote. When a client moves from monthly to biweekly, you change the cadence and the frequency discount, the calendar, and the billing update together. Nothing to reconcile on Sunday night.

From the walkthrough to the paid invoice

Here’s the day on BY5. A lead comes in from your booking site or a phone call. You build the quote from your cleaning pricebook — pick the rooms, tap the add-ons, and the price is done before you’re back in the truck. The client approves and e-signs from their phone, and the job lands on the calendar on its cadence.

On cleaning day the crew opens the crew app on their phones, clocks in at the door, and works the checklist. Before-and-after photos attach to the job, so when a client asks "did they do the baseboards?" the answer is a photo, not an argument. When the job closes, the invoice is one click — or autopay charges the card on file and you never think about it at all. What used to be an evening of admin becomes a push notification that says you got paid.

Built for maid services, janitorial, and commercial cleaning teams

BY5 fits the solo house cleaner who quotes from the kitchen table, the maid service running four crews out of two vans, and the commercial company juggling nightly janitorial contracts. If your current system is a text thread, a Google Calendar, and an invoice app that don’t talk to each other, this is the single place all of it goes — and your clients get a portal and booking page that make you look bigger than you are.

Cleaning software questions, answered

Does it handle recurring biweekly cleans?

Yes. Weekly, biweekly, and monthly cadences are built in, with automatic frequency discounts and card-on-file autopay — set the cadence once and every visit schedules and bills itself. Changing a client’s frequency updates the calendar and the billing together.

Can my cleaners clock in from their phone?

Yes. Crews open the crew app on any phone — no app-store download required — to see their day, clock in and out, and capture before/after photos on every visit. The mobile job app comes with Solo and up.

Can clients book online?

On Starter and up you get a branded online booking site where new clients can request and book service. Every plan — including Free — includes a client portal where existing clients see upcoming cleans, pay invoices, add a tip, and request service.

How does quoting work for house cleaning?

Quotes build from bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage using your own rates, with add-ons like inside fridge, oven, interior windows, and baseboards ready to drop on. The client gets a branded quote they can approve and e-sign online. The quote engine comes with Solo and up.

Can it charge my clients’ cards automatically?

Yes. Card-on-file autopay (Solo and up) bills recurring cleans automatically, and clients can also pay invoices by card or ACH — and add a tip — from the portal.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

BY5 includes a QuickBooks Online integration. Once you connect it from settings, it syncs your customers, invoices, and payments so you are not double-entering the books.

Do you charge per cleaner?

No. Every plan includes unlimited crew members — you’re never charged more for growing the team. Plans differ by admin seats and features, not by headcount in the field.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes scheduling, simple invoicing, and the client portal — no credit card required. Paid plans start at $39/mo when you’re ready for quoting, autopay, and the mobile job app.
