For the cleaning company — not the portfolio you clean for

EZcare runs the operation.
Rinsebase runs the business.

EZcare is property-operations software: housekeeping schedules, inspections, inventory, linen, maintenance. Real work, handled. But nothing in it bills your clients, runs your payroll, or puts your name on the portal your hosts log into. That's not a gap in their product — it's a different product. Rinsebase is the one the cleaning company owns. Built by a Marine Corps veteran whose wife runs a cleaning crew.

Why cleaning companies switch

The work is not the business

Look at what EZcare publishes about itself and the shape is clear. Housekeeping scheduling. Inventory. Inspections with photo and video. Linen. Maintenance workflow automation. Staff and guest messaging. An owner portal with reports. The company was rebranded from EZ Inspections, and that heritage shows — it is a serious tool for keeping properties inspected, stocked and turned over.

Every one of those things is the work. None of them is the business.

The business is the part nobody schedules for you: the twelve different clients you serve, each with their own properties, rates and standards. The invoice that has to go out on Friday and get paid without you chasing it. Payroll across a crew where one person is hourly, one is per-job, and one is salaried. The host who wants to see photo proof of last Tuesday's clean — on something that carries your company's name, not the software vendor's and not the property manager's.

That's the line this comparison sits on. An operations tool schedules the clean. A cleaning-business platform schedules the clean, bills for it, pays the person who did it, and shows the client the proof under your brand. Rinsebase does the operations work too — checklists, photo verification, supplies, linen — but it was built from the cleaning company's side of the table, so the business layer isn't an add-on. It's the point.

The product-DNA difference

What a cleaning company runs on
that an operations tool doesn't carry

A real multi-client CRM. Operations software is organized around one portfolio. A cleaning company juggles many independent clients at once — STR hosts, property managers, residential, commercial — each with their own properties, crews, checklists and pricing. Rinsebase holds all of them in one book of business, not one portfolio at a time.
Only in Rinsebase
Invoice your own clients, with Stripe Connect autopay. Rinsebase auto-drafts the invoice the moment a clean is completed, prices it from your per-property rules, emails it under your brand, and routes the money straight to your bank. Enroll clients in autopay and Friday's billing stops being a Sunday-night job.
Only in Rinsebase
Payroll with mixed pay rates. Hourly, per-job, per-property and salaried crew in the same pay period, with per-property rate cards. Rinsebase calculates it from the clock, not from memory.
Only in Rinsebase
GPS clock-in / clock-out, enforced three ways. A web geofence check while clocked in, background location on the mobile app, and an SMS escalation when someone is still on the clock long after the job ended. Payroll integrity instead of estimation.
Only in Rinsebase
Mileage tracking with IRS auto-calc. Your crews drive between properties all day. Rinsebase logs the miles at the current IRS reimbursement rate and exports them at tax time — real money that goes unclaimed without it.
A branded client portal you own. Every host and property manager you serve gets their own portal — their properties, their schedule, their after-clean photo proof — under your cleaning company's name and domain. It's the single strongest reason cleaning companies win and keep property-manager contracts: you show them the dashboard in the pitch instead of promising communication.
Only in Rinsebase
You decide what reaches the client. Crews flag damage, pests, lost & found and low supplies from the field, and it all lands in one Issues view for you to review first. Nothing reaches the host until you send it, under your brand. The client relationship stays yours to manage.
Only in Rinsebase
An SOS safety button for solo cleaners. One tap sends a crew member's GPS location, the property and the job detail straight to dispatch. For someone walking alone into an unfamiliar short-term rental, it matters more than any feature on a comparison table.
A crew app in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Native iOS and Android, with the language chosen at first login — so the checklist, the notes and the photo prompts are in the language your crew actually thinks in.
Staff for the season before it lands. Rinsebase forecasts every clean coming across all your clients for the next twelve months, flags the back-to-backs, and estimates crews needed per day. You hire for the summer rush in spring, not in July.
Priced by crew, and published. You can read the price on this page — no demo required. Plans start at $19/mo and scale with the size of your crew, with properties unlimited on every plan. A new forty-property contract costs you nothing extra unless you hire to staff it.
Only in Rinsebase

Where EZcare may have the edge: inspections are its origin — the company was rebranded from EZ Inspections — so if a deep, standalone, custom-form inspections module is central to your contracts, evaluate both directly. It also serves multi-family and corporate housing alongside vacation rentals, which Rinsebase does not target, and it lists integrations with major property management systems. Rinsebase is built narrowly for vacation-rental cleaning companies, and that focus is the trade.

The pricing model

One of these prices is on the page

EZcare does not publish pricing. You request a demo, describe your operation, and receive a quote. That's a common model and it isn't a scandal — but it does mean you cannot answer the most important question about a cleaning-company tool without booking a call: what happens to my bill when I take on forty more properties?

Rinsebase answers it in public. You pay for the size of your crew. Properties are unlimited on every plan. Growth in your book of business does not, by itself, raise what you pay — which is the opposite of how software priced around a property portfolio behaves.

How we built this table: everything in the EZcare column comes from EZcare's own public website and marketplace listings as of July 2026. Where they don't publish something we've written "not published" rather than marking it absent — we're not going to guess at another company's roadmap. If you're evaluating both, ask them directly about invoicing, payroll and multi-client support, and hold us to the same standard.

Switching & coexisting

How to run your business
on Rinsebase

If a property-manager client insists on their own operations tool, keep working inside it — and run your business on Rinsebase alongside it. Most cleaning companies are up and running within an hour:

1. Stand up your account — Add every client you serve, their properties and your crew. Import existing client and property lists by CSV; addresses geocode in the background.

2. Connect the calendars — Your client accepts a one-click connect invite for OwnerRez, Hospitable, Guesty or Hostaway, and their bookings sync automatically. Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com and anything else connect by iCal. You never handle a client's PMS login.

3. Invite your crew — Enter an email or phone. They get a branded invite, download the iOS or Android app, and pick English, Spanish or Portuguese at first login.

4. Turn on invoicing + Stripe Connect — Invoices draft themselves when a clean completes, priced from your per-property rules. Enroll clients in autopay and money lands in your bank.

5. Give every client a branded portal — Your name, your domain. They see their schedule, after-clean photo proof and guest-ready confirmation, and can request extra cleans straight into your approval queue.

Common questions

Rinsebase vs EZcare —
straight answers

What is the difference between Rinsebase and EZcare?
EZcare is a property-operations platform. Its published modules are housekeeping scheduling, inventory, inspections, linen, maintenance workflows, staff and guest messaging, and an owner portal with reports — the work of keeping properties turned over. Rinsebase covers that work too, and then covers the part EZcare's feature list doesn't: a multi-client CRM holding every client you serve, invoicing your own clients with Stripe Connect autopay, payroll across mixed pay rates, and a host portal that carries your cleaning company's name. EZcare runs the operation. Rinsebase runs the business.
How much does EZcare cost compared to Rinsebase?
EZcare does not publish pricing — you request a demo and get a quote. Rinsebase publishes its pricing openly: plans start at $19 a month and are priced by the size of your crew, not by the number of properties. Properties are unlimited on every plan, so taking on a new forty-property contract does not raise your software bill unless you hire crew to staff it. If you are comparing quotes, ask EZcare how their price behaves as your property count grows — that is the question that matters most to a cleaning company.
Does Rinsebase have inspections, inventory and linen like EZcare?
Yes to all three, though they are shaped for a cleaning company rather than a property manager. Rinsebase has per-property checklists with photo requirements, before and after photo verification, and incident reports for damage and pest issues. It tracks supplies per property with restock alerts that reach the owner and the host, and it runs per-property linen profiles with a printable daily pull sheet so vans load right the first time. EZcare was rebranded from EZ Inspections and inspections are its heritage — if a deep standalone inspections module is the core of your contract, evaluate both.
Can I use Rinsebase if my property manager client uses EZcare?
Yes — they coexist. If a property manager runs EZcare and wants your crew working inside it, keep doing that. Run your own business on Rinsebase alongside it: every client you serve rather than just that one portfolio, your crew, your payroll, your invoicing, and a branded portal under your name. Each property's calendar syncs into Rinsebase independently, so you are never waiting on someone else's system to know when a checkout happens.
Which booking platforms does Rinsebase connect to?
Rinsebase is an Official Partner with OwnerRez and Hospitable, both with real-time API sync — bookings, cancellations and reschedules land instantly. Guesty and Hostaway connect through their public APIs. Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com and anything else connect by iCal. Your client connects their own account through a one-click invite, so you never handle a property manager's login.
Does Rinsebase have a free trial?
Yes — 14 days free, no credit card required. You can run the full platform during the trial, including client import, crew invites, scheduling, photo verification, invoicing, Stripe Connect and calendar sync.

A note from the founder

"I'm Todd. Marine Corps veteran. My wife runs a cleaning crew. Every tool she was handed did a piece of the work — the schedule, the checklist, the photos — and none of them did the business. The invoicing lived in a spreadsheet, payroll lived in her head, and the client saw whatever the property manager decided to show them. So I built the one platform that holds all of it, with the cleaning company's name on the front."
