ZenMaid vs MaidPlan

Last Updated on October 7, 2022 by The ZenMaid Team

A comparison of two of the leading companies you should be considering for your maid service.

Youโ€™re a maid service owner who is considering between ZenMaid and MaidPlan. Weโ€™ve written a quick article on why you should use ZenMaid.

Before anyone gets the idea this is some sort of โ€œhateโ€ article, please know we share a great respect for MaidPlan. Their very existence pushes us to be a better company and to serve maid service owners like you better.

MaidPlan simply isnโ€™t the best option for residential cleaning companies in the 21st century.

Fortunately for maid service owners, where MaidPlan falls short in automation and convenience, ZenMaid does it all.

Check it out:

ZenMaid โ€“ Built by maid service owners for maid service owners

ZenMaid was created by Amar Ghose, who previously ran Fast Friendly Spotless in Orange County, CA. Since starting ZenMaid Amar has personally spoken with over 2000 maid service owners like you, and does so daily on theย ZenMaid Mastermind (a free community for maid service owners like you)

MaidPlan was not created by cleaning industry experts who know your business inside and out. ZenMaidโ€™s team is constantly learning how to run a better maid service so they can help you as much as possible.

MaidPlan used to be one of the best maid service softwares available and we appreciate them greatly for leading the way in this industry. However, thereโ€™s a reason that ZenMaid has been endorsed by virtually every well known cleaning consultant โ€ฆ and you wonโ€™t hear a word about MaidPlan, even from those using it!

You may have heard about ZenMaid from Debbie Sardone, Sharon Tinberg, Steve & Jean Hanson, Pam Washington, Mike Campion, Katie Pearse, or Martha Woodward.

Thereโ€™s a very good reason weโ€™re regularly mentioned by these cleaning minds.

But wait thereโ€™s more!

Free concierge onboarding so you donโ€™t waste time getting started โ€“ Not offered by MaidPlan

ZenMaid is the only software for maid services that offers true concierge onboarding. If youโ€™re using MaidPlan or another online system, you can send us your login information and weโ€™ll move as much information over as we can.

We understand that getting setup on MaidPlan was probably a nightmare but itโ€™s no problem with ZenMaid. Make your move today and weโ€™ll have you up and running very, very quickly.

Actively being improved

MaidPlan is no longer actively developing their program and they certainly arenโ€™t doing so for maid services specifically.

Even if you think MaidPlan is better for your business as is now, it will not be in the very near future because theyโ€™ve stopped both development and support. ZenMaid is already easier to use and has more specialized features, plus weโ€™re actively working with every cleaning business consultant to build an even more perfect scheduling solution.

No outside investors, meaning 100% focus on YOU

ZenMaid has taken on 0 (zero) outside investment since starting in 2013. The only people we answer to is you, our customers. ZenMaid makes decisions based solely on whatโ€™s best for our clients, the 200+ cleaning companies that use us across the Globe.

Automated Communication with customers

No matter how you run your maid service, you have to finalize your schedule somewhere or youโ€™d quickly go out of business. And if you do it in the ZenMaid calendar weโ€™ll automatically confirm appointments, remind your customers of their cleanings, follow up after, and reach out automatically if they leave you.

MaidPlan might help with one of those, ZenMaid does them all. Automatically.

Your employees will love the new communication clarity

At ZenMaid we consistently hear that both cleaners and customers love when a maid service switches from MaidPlan. The convenience the system adds for ALL parties involved is second to none.

Your employees can choose to receive text updates, detailed email work orders, or can login to see their schedules. Itโ€™s fully customizable so they only see what you want!

Instant Booking

MaidPlan might be helpful when it comes to managing your cleaning business but ZenMaid is designed to do even more, including to help you market and grow.

The ZenMaid Instant Booking form is designed beautifully for your business so you can turn your website visitors into paying, recurring customers.

Reporting

While MaidPlan offers reporting, itโ€™s not as specialized for your maid service as ZenMaidโ€™s provided metrics. On the ZenMaid platform youโ€™ll find out first where your leads are coming from and where to invest your marketing dollars.

Our specialized reporting breaks down the exact numbers you need to pay attention to DAILY to keep a running, healthy maid service.

After that weโ€™ll show you how many recurring customers youโ€™re getting, how much theyโ€™re paying you, and if theyโ€™re leaving you, all built in automatically to ZenMaid. If MaidPlan isnโ€™t easy enough for you to find the information youโ€™ll need then youโ€™ll love our solution.

Work with experts

ZenMaid is run by cleaning industry experts. You know Amar, our CEO, who has both run a cleaning business and consulted with hundreds of maid service owners. Additionally, each of our employees goes through maid service owner trainings from the industry consultants mentioned above.

When you need help with ZenMaid or your business, our team knows your details in and out so you get truly personalized advice and support that designed to maximize your success.
