The ZenMaid alternative for growing cleaning companies

Questions, answered.
Is CleanOS a good ZenMaid alternative?
If you're growing beyond residential maid service — into Airbnb/VRBO turnovers or commercial accounts — yes. CleanOS adds photo proof built into the cleaner's finish screen, an English/Portuguese/Spanish app and built-in cleaner hours, payouts & 1099 export, with per-company pricing instead of per-seat.
What does CleanOS offer that ZenMaid doesn't?
CleanOS supports residential, commercial and short-term-rental cleaning, puts the photos in the cleaner's finish screen and locks them once the job is finished, works in three languages, and includes cleaner hours, payouts and 1099 / W-9 export.
How does CleanOS pricing compare to ZenMaid?
CleanOS is $39–$99/month per company with no per-seat fee. Online card payments carry a 1.5% platform fee plus Stripe processing; manual methods carry none. ZenMaid starts lower but adds a per-seat charge, so cost grows with your team size.
