Booxt is an SMS-based AI assistant for contractors. You text your job notes from the truck and Booxt drafts a priced, phase-by-phase estimate in your numbers, emails it to the customer to sign, collects the deposit to your own Stripe, invoices automatically, and dispatches your crew and subs — all by text.

How much does Booxt cost?

Booxt is $99/month flat. Every feature is included — estimates, invoicing, deposit collection, crew and sub dispatch, unlimited texts, unlimited crew members — and Booxt never takes a cut of your deposits or jobs.

How does Booxt collect deposits and payments?

Booxt emails the customer a clean estimate page where they e-sign and pay the deposit by card — straight to the contractor's own Stripe account, with no cut to Booxt. The balance gets paid online the same way, or the contractor records a check, cash, or Zelle payment to keep the books straight.

Can Booxt put customers on a monthly maintenance plan?

Yes. Tell your assistant the plan — the service, how often, and the monthly price — and Booxt sends the customer a signup link, collects the card once, and bills them automatically every month, straight to your own Stripe.

Do customers need an app?

No. Customers get a text and a simple web link to view, sign, and pay the estimate. There is nothing to download and no portal to log into.

Best Booking & Scheduling Software for Cleaning Businesses (2026)

June 5, 2026 · 5 min read · Updated June 14, 2026

Cleaning is a recurring business, and recurring revenue is the whole game. The right booking software doesn’t just fill a one-time clean — it turns it into a weekly, biweekly, or monthly standing job, handles the details that set the price, and keeps your crews’ days full. Here’s what to look for.

What cleaning businesses need from booking software

Recurring booking — weekly, biweekly, and monthly, set once.
Collects home size, bedrooms/baths, and access details up front.
Answers "do you cover my area?" and "how much for a 3-bedroom?" instantly.
Crew or team scheduling, not just a single calendar.
Reminders so clients are home and ready when the crew arrives.

Win the recurring client, not just the one-time clean

The difference between a struggling cleaning business and a thriving one is the share of recurring clients. A booking assistant that offers a recurring slot at the moment of booking — "want us every two weeks?" — quietly compounds your revenue with every new client, instead of starting from zero each week.

Quote right by asking the right questions

A good quote needs the basics: home size, number of bedrooms and baths, and whether it’s a deep clean or a regular one. A conversational booking flow collects all of it in the chat — so you’re scheduling the right crew and the right amount of time, not guessing.

Capture the lead before a competitor does

Cleaning leads shop around and book whoever answers first. A 24/7 assistant that responds in seconds — including evenings and weekends, when people actually think about booking a cleaner — captures that lead before they move on. It’s the same logic as missed-call text-back.
