Post Construction Cleaning Invoicing Software (2026)
For a solo post-construction cleaning business, ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) runs the whole job — quote by the square foot or phase, invoice the contractor or homeowner, and take payment or keep a card on file, with cash and card tracked in one ledger and tax-ready books.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Tools were judged on the solo operator's real workflow — square-footage or phase quoting, contractor-account invoicing, and clean records — not on multi-cleaner dispatch.
| Software | Starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| ShowTheReceipts That's us | $15/mo | Solo cleaners: square-footage/phase quotes, contractor invoicing, card & cash tracked, tax-ready books |
| Kickserv Flex | $19/mo | Budget scheduling and invoicing |
| Joist | Free / $8/mo | Bare-bones estimates and invoices on a tight budget |
| Jobber | $29/mo (Core) | Crews dispatching multiple cleaners at once |
| Housecall Pro | $79/mo | Staffed offices wanting full CRM and marketing |
The solo cleaner’s real workflow
Post-construction cleaning is phased, square-footage work often billed to a contractor: rough clean, final clean, punch-list. Software should quote by phase, invoice the account, and keep the records straight for taxes.
You can skip the crew platforms — dispatch is for offices running several cleaners, not one person on the job.
1. ShowTheReceipts — $15/mo
Quote by square foot or phase, invoice the contractor, and take payment. Cash and card land in one ledger for taxes.
2. Kickserv Flex — $19/mo
Budget scheduling and invoicing for a general service business.
3. Joist — Free / $8/mo
Bare-bones estimates and invoices — thin on payment tracking, but cheap.
4. Jobber — $29/mo (Core)
It’s capable software, but its dispatch tools assume you’ve got a crew to route.
5. Housecall Pro — $79/mo
A full CRM suite built for staffed offices — more than one cleaner really needs.
Frequently asked questions
What does a solo post-construction cleaning business need from software?
Square-footage or phase quoting, invoicing that a general contractor account can pay, a way to take payment, and clean records for taxes. Multi-cleaner dispatch only earns its keep once you've got a crew.
What do I get with ShowTheReceipts for $15/month?
The whole solo workflow at the lowest paid price — quoting, invoicing, card payment, cash and card in one ledger, and tax-ready exports. Recurring invoicing for repeat builder accounts is a Pro-plan feature at $39/month.
Can I bill by cleaning phase (rough vs. final)?
Yes — save rough-clean and final-clean line items in your catalog and quote each phase, then invoice as the work completes so the contractor is billed accurately per stage.
