Best Window Cleaning Software 2026: Routes, Recurring Jobs and Billing

Window cleaning is a route business with a low ticket and a high stop count. A two-person crew on a storefront run can clear twenty or thirty accounts before lunch, and almost none justifies a written estimate. Many small, repeatable visits packed into a few blocks is the shape your software has to handle without friction.

The commercial side behaves differently. Multi-story retail and office glass is quoted per level or per pane, needs a deposit before the crew and the water-fed poles go out, and gets scheduled around a building manager’s opening hours. Residential work is usually a flat price for inside and out, repeated once or twice a year, with a card on file so nobody has to chase an invoice.

This article compares nine platforms a window cleaning business can actually buy. Five publish their full price lists — Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceM8, Kickserv and Service Fusion — so you can shortlist and budget without booking a demo. The other four publish nothing. Every price below was read from the vendor’s own pricing page on 10 September 2026. We have not used these products on customer jobs and we do not claim to have.

The nine, in one table

1. Jobber — best overall for storefront routes

From $29/mo billed annually (Core, one user). Four plans — Core, Connect, Grow and Plus — with allowances for 1, 5, 10 and 15 users, and a flat $29/mo for every extra seat. Connect is $99/mo annual for one user and $149/mo for five. Grow is $149/mo annual for one and $299/mo for ten.

Why it leads for window cleaning: Core already covers what a solo round needs — scheduling, quotes, invoices, payments and a simple website — at a price that suits one person on the glass. Connect adds automated appointment reminders, automated collections, job checklists, quote and invoice follow-up, time and expense tracking and QuickBooks Online sync, which is the point where a storefront round starts running itself. Grow adds job costing, two-way SMS, automatic time tracking and workflow automation. Plus adds job files and photos, @mentions, Pipeline, the Marketing Suite and the AI Receptionist. A 14-day trial runs the Grow feature set with no card.

The catch: QuickBooks Online only — no Desktop. There is no built-in window cleaning price list, so per-pane and per-level pricing has to be built as your own line items. Full breakdown on our Jobber pricing page.

2. Housecall Pro — best when online booking and reviews fill the schedule

From $59/mo billed annually (Basic, one user). Essentials is $149/mo annual with five users; MAX is $299/mo annual with eight. Extra seats cost $100/mo on Essentials and $75/mo on MAX.

Why it fits window cleaning: Basic arrives with online booking, scheduling and dispatch, quotes, invoicing, payments and review management — which matters in a trade where homeowners choose on reviews. Essentials adds routes, a flat-rate structure, checklists, photo reports, GPS, commissions and QuickBooks Online sync — Desktop is documented on the vendor’s integration page but the pricing page no longer names it by tier (checked 11 September 2026). MAX adds the sales proposal tool, recurring service plans and route optimization, which is the tier to price if you sell annual contracts to property managers. There is no long-term contract, and the 14-day trial runs the full MAX feature set with no card.

The catch: the user allowances are rigid. A three-cleaner crew pays the five-user price, and at $100/mo for one extra seat against a $149/mo plan, the jump to MAX can be cheaper than adding seats one at a time. Nine add-ons are listed on the pricing page with no prices at all, so ask for the number in writing before you sign. Full breakdown on our Housecall Pro pricing page.

3. ServiceM8 — best if you have more cleaners than jobs

Free for one user and 30 jobs a month; $29/mo Starter (50 jobs), $79/mo Growing (150), $149/mo Premium (500) and $349/mo Premium Plus (1,500+). Every paid tier includes unlimited users, and the bill follows job volume rather than headcount.

Why it fits window cleaning: a small shop doing 140 jobs a month pays $79/mo whether those jobs are worked by two cleaners or five — arithmetic no per-seat rival here matches at that ticket size. Recurring jobs and deposits are included from the free plan up, and SMS is free from Starter. The 14-day trial needs no card.

The catch: the bands are coarse. Nothing sits between 150 and 500 jobs a month, so a round doing 180 jobs pays for 500, and additional jobs cost 20c each on the top tier. The platform is mobile-app-first, which some office staff find limiting, and route optimization is not among the features listed by the vendor — storefront sequencing stays your own job.

4. Kickserv — cheapest published seat for a small crew

$60/mo for Start (five users), $119/mo for Run (ten) and $199/mo for Scale (twenty), with 20% off on annual billing and a 30-day trial — twice the length of most platforms here.

Why it fits window cleaning: Start works out at $12 per user per month, the lowest published per-seat entry on this list, which suits a three-person storefront crew that mainly needs scheduling, quoting, invoicing and repeat visits. QuickBooks Online is included rather than gated behind a higher tier. Kickback takes 5% off if you hit a minimum monthly card-processing volume — a payments discount, not a software feature.

The catch: Kickserv publishes less than the front-runners do, so if your commercial contracts depend on recurring service plans or a proposal tool, do not expect to find them described on the pricing page. QuickBooks Desktop costs an extra $50/mo. The allowances step in fives and tens, so a crew of six buys the ten-user plan.

5. Service Fusion — unlimited users at a flat rate

$245/mo monthly or $208/mo billed annually (Starter); $627/mo monthly or $533/mo billed annually (Pro) — unlimited users on both plans, no contract.

Why it fits window cleaning: if adding a third or fourth cleaner must never move the software bill, this is the cleanest structure here. Starter covers customer management, quotes and jobs, scheduling and dispatch, integrated payments, invoicing, project management, reports, SMS and QuickBooks. Pro adds job photo uploads, inventory, job costing, integrated voice and text, an open API, custom documents, eSign, a customer portal and recurring invoices.

The catch: the entry point is high — $208/mo billed annually is more than a ten-user Jobber plan — so it only pays off once unlimited headcount matters more than a low starting price. Several things general platforms bundle lower down, such as a customer portal and recurring invoices, sit on Pro here. There is no self-serve trial: demo only. ServiceCall.ai and GPS fleet tracking are separate add-ons with no published prices.

6. FieldPulse — best for mixed office and field seats

Request pricing on the main page; $99 per user in the vendor’s own pricing tool (checked 11 September 2026). FieldPulse sells two kinds of seat: full-access seats for the owner and office staff, and cheaper field-only seats for cleaners who only need the mobile app. Three packages: Essentials, Professional and Enterprise.

Why it fits window cleaning: the split matches a small operation where one person quotes, invoices and chases payment while everyone else works the route. The pricing page lists an open API and QuickBooks sync; the Engage phone system is sold separately, priced per line.

The catch: no plan price on the main page (the vendor’s own pricing tool does publish the platform rate, $99 per user, checked 11 September 2026), and the three packages carry near-identical feature lists on the pricing page, so the difference between them is mostly scale. Ask for full-access and field-only rates separately, and for the per-line cost of the phone system, before you weigh it against Jobber or Kickserv.

7. Workiz — best if the phone is the funnel

Request pricing. Workiz is built for trades where inbound calls are the pipeline: native call tracking, call recording and AI call answering tied to the customer record, plus dispatch, two-way SMS and payments.

Why it fits window cleaning: a commercial enquiry about a multi-story building usually arrives by phone, and whoever answers first is usually the one who quotes it.

The catch: Workiz publishes no plan prices. Third-party compilations report paid tiers in roughly the $200–$325 per month range with extra users around $55–$65/mo, and one 2026 compilation puts entry at about $187/mo. Those are third-party estimates from myquoteiq.com, not vendor figures, and we could not confirm any of them with Workiz — so get the plan and per-user rates in writing before you budget.

8. Simpro — for commercial and multi-company work

Request pricing. A base plan covering quotes and estimates, field and contractor scheduling, inventory and purchasing, invoicing and payments, accounting, reporting, multi-company operation and three Data Feeds, plus a large add-on catalogue: Digital Forms, Data Feed, Maintenance Planner, Takeoffs, Simtrac GPS and SMS.

Why it fits window cleaning: it suits a company servicing multiple commercial sites under one contract, with purchasing and multi-company accounting the residential tools do not attempt, and integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage and MYOB. The Maintenance Planner is worth a demo if you run scheduled glass work across a portfolio of buildings.

The catch: no published prices and no self-serve trial at all — Simpro runs guided demos only. The add-ons are where both the capability and the cost live, and none of them are priced on the page. Overkill for a two-van residential round.

9. ServiceTitan — only once you run a real office

Request pricing, per technician, negotiated. Three packages — Starter, Essentials and The Works — with a dispatch board, call recording, adaptive marketing, automated checklists, in-depth reporting, GPS, membership management, job costing and project management. The vendor says 100,000+ contractors use it; that is a vendor figure, not an independent one.

Why it is on the list: for a company with a dedicated dispatcher, several crews and a book of commercial maintenance agreements, nothing else here matches the depth. Memberships and job costing are the parts a large window cleaning operation grows on.

The catch — and it is the important one: no published price, no free trial and no self-serve way in. Third-party compilations of user reports put it at roughly $125–$398 per technician per month, with implementation reported between $5,000 and $50,000 on a 12-month minimum. Those are third-party estimates from myquoteiq.com, not vendor figures. Below about ten technicians the maths rarely works. Full breakdown on our ServiceTitan pricing page.

What window cleaning software for a small business actually has to do

Feature lists are easy to compare and rarely decisive. These five things decide whether software survives in a window cleaning business:

Storefront route density. A storefront round is twenty small jobs inside a mile, so the schedule has to hold a fixed weekly sequence without being rebuilt whenever one account moves, and the day has to read in stop order. Platforms that price per user (Jobber, Kickserv) charge you for each cleaner on the round; ServiceM8 and Service Fusion do not.

Per-pane and per-level pricing. Residential glass is usually a flat price for inside and out; commercial glass is quoted per level or per pane, and the same building can go either way depending on access. Jobber adds illustrated quotes and optional line items at Grow, and Housecall Pro adds a proposal tool and flat-rate structure at MAX, which is how a per-level quote gets built without a separate spreadsheet.

A card on file for recurring work. Twice-a-year residential clients and weekly storefront accounts should be invoiced the moment the visit is closed out, not chased in the new year. Jobber covers this with automated collections and invoice follow-up from Connect up. Housecall Pro lists recurring service plans on MAX, Service Fusion includes recurring invoices on Pro, and ServiceM8 includes recurring jobs and deposits from its free plan.

Reminders before a scheduled visit. An inside-the-house booking needs a text before the crew turns up, and a commercial client wants confirmation the night before. Automated reminders arrive with Jobber Connect, and SMS is free on ServiceM8 from Starter up. Both cut the wasted drive that quietly kills a low-ticket route.

Deposits and add-ons that pay for themselves. Multi-story commercial work is where a deposit protects you, and ServiceM8 includes deposits from its free plan. Gutter clearing and hard water removal are the other lever: if the platform cannot add an optional line item to an existing job, that work becomes a phone call and a second invoice.

What window cleaning software costs by crew size

Based on published list prices only, before payment processing and add-ons:

One cleaner. Jobber Core at $29/mo billed annually, or ServiceM8’s free plan if you stay under 30 jobs a month and 10 AI uses a day. Kickserv Start at $60/mo buys five seats you do not need yet; nothing else here is worth the extra at this size.

Two to five cleaners. Jobber Connect at $149/mo annual covers five users, and Housecall Pro Essentials is the same $149/mo for five — identical money, so choose on online booking and reviews versus QuickBooks — Online is what Housecall Pro’s pricing page names, with Desktop documented but no longer tier-priced (checked 11 September 2026). ServiceM8 Growing at $79/mo wins outright if job volume stays under 150 a month.

Six to ten cleaners. Jobber Connect plus extra seats at $29/mo each, or Housecall Pro MAX at $299/mo annual for eight. Kickserv Run at $119/mo for ten users is the cheapest published route here. Service Fusion at $208/mo billed annually covers unlimited users and starts to look sensible.

Eleven to twenty cleaners. Service Fusion on either plan, or Simpro if commercial contracts and multi-company accounting matter more than the seat count. This is also where ServiceTitan becomes worth a conversation — and where you should get two competing quotes rather than assume it does not.

How this list was built

Every price was read from the vendor’s own pricing page on 10 September 2026. Where a vendor publishes no price, we say so and never substitute a figure. Any range from third-party compilations of user reports — the Workiz and ServiceTitan figures above — is labelled as a third-party estimate and the source named.

We have not used these products on customer jobs, and we do not claim to have. We read the vendors’ documentation, run their published arithmetic against realistic crew sizes, and flag where the advertised number and the invoice diverge. If a price changes, this page and the date above change with it.

Choosing between the two front-runners? Our Jobber vs Housecall Pro comparison runs the same crew sizes through both, and the By Trade hub collects this breakdown for pressure washing, cleaning and the rest of the trades. Window cleaning routes behave much like lawn routes, and if they outgrow a small-crew platform the enterprise question is the one in our Jobber vs ServiceTitan comparison. The field service software buyer’s guide covers the whole category.
