CleanGuru vs Service Storm

CleanGuru is software for cleaning businesses, bringing together bidding, invoicing, scheduling, timekeeping, and inspection tools. Its bidding workflow uses room measurements or square footage to estimate cleaning time and price, then create proposals for prospects. Mobile inspections can be built from bids or building types and produce work tickets and graphical performance reviews. Teams can schedule recurring or one-time services with drag-and-drop controls, send recurring or one-time invoices, and check whether invoices were delivered and read. Mobile check-in and check-out includes geofencing and late alerts, with payroll-ready reports. QuickBooks Online syncs approved timesheets and is included in every plan. CleanGuru is available on the web, iOS, and Android. Basic costs $79 per month for one module; Guru! costs $129 per month and Guru Plus costs $159 per month, both with all modules. The listed modules cover several cleaning business types, including janitorial, maid, carpet, and window cleaning. The company says its tools are intended to help independent cleaning business owners find, land, and keep profitable jobs.

Service Storm is a field service platform that manages work from lead and quote through scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, and reviews. It is built for trades and local service businesses, with listed industries including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, construction, lawn care, cleaning, pest control, and handyman services. Teams can create customizable good-better-best quotes, schedule and dispatch with drag-and-drop tools, track technicians by GPS in real time, and manage customers, invoices, payments, and deposits. The iOS and Android app supports schedules, jobs, invoices, and customer communication. Otto, its AI agent, can build quotes, create customers and jobs, schedule visits, revise and reprice quotes or invoices, and answer questions about business records. A hosted MCP server connects with Claude and ChatGPT. Connections have read, drafts, or full-access consent levels, and requests are checked against current permissions. Tool calls are audited, but record contents and arguments are not stored. Connected assistants cannot message customers, collect payments, or accept quotes for a user. Plans start at $79/mo, billed monthly; optional on-site onboarding starts at $9,000.
