BroomDesk vs ZenMaid
Flat monthly pricing, same as ours, and their entry plan is $10 cheaper with a 40 appointment limit.
Prices verified on August 3, 2026 from get.zenmaid.com/pricing. Open the page we read and check it against this one.
BroomDesk
Software for cleaning companies on a flat monthly price: recurring scheduling, booking and price-calculator widgets for your own site, quotes and invoices with online payments, payroll, routes, a phone app for cleaners that keeps working without signal, and on the top plan an AI receptionist that texts back missed calls. Unlimited team members on every plan.
ZenMaid
ZenMaid sells software to cleaning companies on a flat monthly fee. Their pricing page asks how many cleaners and office managers you have, but publishes no per-seat rate, so the size of your team does not change the bill.
What we verified: Three plan prices and the appointment limit on the entry plan. We did not verify their feature list, so this page does not describe it.

Pricing model: Flat monthly fee. ZenMaid does not charge per user or per cleaner.
Pricing model
Edge: Even- BroomDesk
- Flat monthly price. Unlimited team members on Starter, Pro and Business.
- ZenMaid
- Flat monthly price. No per-user and no per-cleaner charge on their published plans.
Better for: Neither. Both bills stay the same the month you hire. We argue about per-user fees a lot, and none of that argument lands on ZenMaid.
Entry price
Edge: ZenMaid- BroomDesk
- Starter is $29 a month, or $290 a year.
- ZenMaid
- Starter is $19 a month.
Better for: ZenMaid, by $10 a month or $120 a year. For an owner counting subscriptions on a phone between jobs, that is a real number.
Appointments on the entry plan
Edge: BroomDesk- BroomDesk
- No appointment limit on any plan. Starter at $29 schedules as many visits as you can sell.
- ZenMaid
- Starter covers up to 40 appointments a month. Unlimited appointments start on Pro at $39.
Better for: Under 40 appointments a month, ZenMaid costs less. Above it, the comparison becomes BroomDesk Starter at $29 against ZenMaid Pro at $39, and we are $10 under.
What the price includes
Edge: Even- BroomDesk
- Starter carries the booking widget, the price calculator, recurring scheduling, quotes and invoices with online payments, and the SMS and email engine. Pro at $59 adds routes, payroll and reviews. Business at $99 adds commercial flat billing, inspections and the AI receptionist.
- ZenMaid
- Their pricing page publishes plan prices and the appointment limit. We have not verified what each ZenMaid plan contains, so we do not claim it holds more or less.
Better for: You settle this one. Open both feature lists and check the three things you do every single day.
A comparison page with nothing good to say about the other product is an advertisement. Here is what ZenMaid does better or cheaper than we do.
Their entry plan is cheaper than ours
ZenMaid Starter is $19 a month against our $29. If 40 appointments a month covers your work, they cost less and that is the end of it.
The per-user argument does not apply to them
Our pricing page makes a lot of no per-user fees. That is aimed at tools that charge them. ZenMaid does not, and implying otherwise would be inventing a weakness.
We are new and we have nothing to show you
BroomDesk launched in 2026. There are no customers yet, so there are no reviews, no case studies and no names on this page. Wanting software other cleaning companies already run is a fair reason not to pick us.
Choose ZenMaid if
- You stay under 40 appointments a month and want the smallest possible bill.
- You want software that other cleaning companies already run and can vouch for.
Choose BroomDesk if
- You book more than 40 appointments a month and want one price with no volume step.
- You want route optimization, payroll, an AI receptionist or commercial billing inside the same subscription.
- You want the booking widget, price calculator and review widget running on your own website.
Everything this page says about ZenMaid comes from their pricing page on August 3, 2026. We do not list features they lack, because we have not verified their feature list. Read their page next to ours before you decide.

There are no customer quotes, star ratings or company logos on this page. BroomDesk has no customers yet, so there is nothing real to show, and we would rather leave the space empty than fill it with something we made up. The same rule governs every number above.
The short version
We cost $10 more at the entry plan and we do not limit appointments. That is the shape of it. If $19 with a 40 appointment limit fits your business, take it, and look at us again when the limit starts to bite.
