How this site gets written, sourced, and checked.
Every guide, comparison, and price on this site follows the same set of rules, published here so you can hold us to them. The rules below do the work a fact-checking desk does at a bigger publisher. Editorial responsibility sits with the founder, whose full record is public.
Where the figures come from.
- Competitor prices are taken from the vendor’s own public pricing page and dated in the text (for example “checked July 2026”). When a vendor hides pricing behind a sales call, we say so instead of guessing.
- Statistics carry a named source or they do not appear. If a number cannot be traced to a source we trust, we cut it or state the point qualitatively.
- CleanerHQ’s own prices on this site are the real prices: $19 per admin seat, $5 per crew seat per month.
- Industry figures from trade bodies, government agencies, and vendor documentation are preferred over recycled blog statistics, which this industry produces in bulk.
Where the operational guidance comes from.
CleanerHQ has built software for US cleaning businesses since 2006, and years of that work included handling scheduling and enquiries for operators directly. Nobody at CleanerHQ has owned or operated a cleaning company, and no page on this site should read as if we have. Operational guidance comes from that client work, from interviews with operators, and from published sources; the full statement is on the founder record.
When named cleaning business owners review our operational content, their names and credentials will appear on the reviewed pages. Until then, no reviewer credit appears anywhere on this site.
How we write about competitors.
- Competitor capabilities are described from their public documentation and pricing pages, with the check date stated.
- Where a competitor is genuinely stronger, the page says so. Several of our comparison pages concede specific strengths, on purpose.
- We describe market mechanisms (like post-acquisition pricing pressure) as structures, never as accusations against a named company.
When we get something wrong.
Errors get fixed in place, and materially updated posts show a visible “last updated” date. If you spot a wrong price, a dead link, or a claim that does not hold up, write to support@cleanerhq.com. Corrections are typically reviewed within a few business days.
This policy is reviewed every six months or whenever a material claim changes. Last reviewed: August 2026.
