Best software for window cleaning businesses

The glass is clean. The quote should be just as clear: how many panes, which storeys, and whether screens and tracks are included. Then tomorrow’s storefront round needs to happen without rebuilding the diary from scratch.

Jobber Grow is our pick for residential window cleaners selling selectable extras. Connect fits a repeat-round business with simpler quotes; Core fits a solo owner handling routes and messages personally. Build the scope once, carry it onto the visit, and finish with a bill the customer understands.

Make the window count do the quoting

Start with a small price book: exterior ground-floor panes, upper-storey panes, interior glass, screens, tracks and gutters. Put your counting rule in each description. A pane and a window opening can mean different things to a customer; write down which one you charge for, plus access and storey assumptions.

Jobber’s products and services list saves the item name, description and unit price. In the mobile quote builder, add those services and their quantities while you’re at the property. Use separate items for work that takes different effort, rather than hiding everything inside “window cleaning.”

A quote with room for the extras

Illustrative quote inputs: these are example quantities and rates for building the quote.

Line item	Quantity × unit price	Amount	How to present it
Ground-floor exterior panes	20 × $6	$120	Base scope
Upper-storey exterior panes	10 × $9	$90	Base scope
Screen cleaning	10 × $4	$40	Optional extra
Track cleaning	10 × $3	$30	Optional extra
Gutter cleaning	1 × $90	$90	Optional extra
Base clean		$210	Mandatory items
Everything selected		$370	Base plus all three extras

On Grow or Plus, mark the extras optional. Customers select or deselect them in client hub and the total adjusts. When you convert the approved quote to a job, selected extras become regular job items; unselected ones drop out. That’s a clean handoff from “yes, do the screens too” to the crew’s scope. Jobber’s optional-item workflow explains the controls; our estimate-options comparison goes deeper on quote choices.

Buy the plan for the round you actually run

Choose Grow when the quote is doing the selling. Choose Connect when the repeat round is the business. Core gives one owner the basic quote–schedule–invoice workflow, with more of the follow-up left in your hands.

Window-cleaning job	Plan that covers it
Save service items, quote from the app, schedule recurring jobs and use client hub	Core and higher

Let customers select screens, tracks or gutters on the quote	Grow and Plus
Keep a two-way client SMS conversation in Jobber	Grow and Plus
Add selected before/after images directly to an invoice	Grow, Plus or Marketing Suite

The current plan matrix puts routing and automatic payments on Connect and selectable quote extras on Grow. Core is a one-user plan.

Standard prices, checked October 30, 2026

USD, with promotions excluded. Annual figures below are per month billed annually, rather than yearly totals. Count everyone who logs in, including the office.

Plan	Included-user bundles	Standard monthly prices	Per month billed annually
Core	1 only	$49	$29
Connect	1 / 5 / 10 / 15	$139 / $199 / $299 / $399	$99 / $149 / $229 / $299
Grow	1 / 5 / 10 / 15	$199 / $299 / $399 / $499	$149 / $229 / $299 / $399

Connect and Grow publish $29/month per added user. For monthly billing, take the smaller bundle plus seats when it beats the next bundle. Jobber doesn’t publish an annual extra-seat rate, so the annual column uses a bundle that covers the whole team.

Total logins	Connect monthly	Grow monthly	Connect per month billed annually	Grow per month billed annually
1	$139	$199	$99	$149
2	$168	$228	$149	$229
3	$197	$257	$149	$229
4	$199	$286	$149	$229
5	$199	$299	$149	$229
6	$228	$328	$229	$299

For three logins, Connect is the one-user bundle plus two seats: $197/month. At four logins, its five-user bundle wins at $199/month. Grow stays on one user plus seats through four logins, then uses the five-user bundle at five.

Give storefronts a repeat visit and a clear monthly bill

Create a recurring job for each property, choose the repeat pattern and assign the visits. Put gate codes, interior access and which glass is included in the instructions. A weekly storefront and a residential clean every eight weeks can each have their own schedule.

Then choose the billing model separately. Jobber supports per-visit invoicing, where completed visit items feed the bill, and fixed-price invoicing, where the same job amount is charged each billing period. Set a month-end billing schedule for a commercial round. The recurring-job guide covers both models.

Illustrative storefront agreement	Four completed visits	Five completed visits
$35 per visit, billed monthly	$140	$175
Fixed $150 monthly service agreement	$150	$150

Write the agreement to match the model. A fixed monthly bill stays fixed when the calendar contains an extra visit. Put separately billed gutter or track work on its own agreed scope and invoice instead of expecting a flat monthly charge to grow automatically.

On Connect and higher, enable Get paid automatically with Jobber Payments and a saved card or ACH method. Jobber creates the invoices and charges that method on the chosen billing schedule. Without automatic payments, the billing reminder prompts you to create the invoice. Follow the automatic-payment setup and use our recurring-service guide for the wider agreement workflow.

Keep the round close together—and give rain a message owner

Group clients by neighborhood before filling the day. Keep a fixed-time interior appointment separate from flexible exterior stops. On Connect and higher, an admin can optimize anytime visits on Jobber.com; the app reflects the resulting order. Set a specific reminder time for anytime-visit texts, such as 9 a.m. the day before, so they can send without a scheduled arrival time. Re-run the route after the day’s stops change. See Jobber’s route-optimization instructions and our route-planning comparison.

When rain wipes out the morning, move the affected visits and name one person to tell customers their replacement dates and handle replies. An individual move offers Notify client; a bulk move doesn’t provide that same prompt. Once a visit moves, old reminders are canceled and new ones follow its updated schedule and your reminder settings. Finish the messages before calling the new diary settled. The visit controls and reminder rules explain that split.

Housecall Pro is the alternative for an office that values its Notify customers option during bulk calendar changes.

Let the finished glass earn the next booking

Take the before shot, clean, then take the after shot from the same angle. Use the visit’s camera button in the app and add a short note about completed extras or access problems. Job notes and photos start internal; choose the images you want the customer to see.

On Grow, Plus or Marketing Suite, add selected images directly to the invoice from Jobber.com so the customer can see the finish in client hub. Jobber’s invoice image instructions cover that sharing step. Keep the internal note about a difficult gate separate from the sparkling-glass photo you send out.

For a business built around recurring rounds, set Reviews to When a visit is completed and choose how many completed visits should come first. The recurring job can stay open while the finished clean earns its ask. If one-off residential jobs dominate instead, use When a job closes after the work is done. Choose the account trigger for your main workflow. Jobber limits requests to one per client every six months; its Reviews settings explain the trigger and repeat guard.

Marketing Suite is $99/month as an add-on to Core, Connect or Grow and is included on Plus (checked October 30, 2026). It includes Reviews; the add-on bills monthly even with an annual base plan and isn’t available during the trial. See the Marketing Suite subscription rules and our review-request comparison for setup choices.
