For cleaning businesses leaving HouseCall Pro

The app freezes in front of your customer.
Then HouseCall Pro calls to upsell you.

The app stalls when your team's all online — sometimes with a customer standing right there. Tech support can't call you back, only chat. The sales team upsells you weekly. Rinsebase was built by a Marine Corps veteran whose wife runs a cleaning crew. Different team. Different software.

Why businesses switch

Why cleaning businesses are switching from HouseCallPro

HouseCallPro was built for trade contractors. The product reflects it. Job names default to "service calls." Pricing logic assumes one-time work orders. Crew apps are English-only. There's no Airbnb sync, no per-property pay rates, no photo verification built for STR turnovers. You can make it work for cleaning, but you'll spend every day forcing a generic field-service tool to behave like cleaning software.

Rinsebase was built in 2026 specifically for cleaning operations — recurring residential, STR turnovers, and the bilingual crews that handle them. Bookings auto-create jobs. Completed cleans auto-generate invoices. Crew works in English or Spanish from day one. Here's what we built that HouseCallPro doesn't have.

The difference

8 things Rinsebase has
that HouseCallPro doesn't

Airbnb & VRBO Auto-Sync. HouseCallPro has basic iCal import, but Rinsebase auto-creates a cleaning job the moment a new reservation is booked — with the right turnover window, crew, and checklist. Zero manual entry.
Only in Rinsebase
Full Spanish Crew App. HouseCallPro's crew app is English only. Rinsebase gives every crew member the full app — every screen, every checklist, every notification — in English or Spanish. No miscommunication.
Only in Rinsebase
Power Outage Alerts. HouseCallPro has no outage detection. Rinsebase monitors power status per property and automatically notifies your client and dispatcher before crew shows up to a dark house.
Only in Rinsebase
SOS Safety Button. HouseCallPro has no crew safety features. Rinsebase gives every crew member a one-tap SOS button that sends their GPS location and job details to dispatch instantly.
Only in Rinsebase
Multi-Job Clock Out. HouseCallPro's time tracking requires crew to fully clock out between jobs. Rinsebase supports leaving one job, working another, and coming back — time tracked perfectly across all properties.
Only in Rinsebase
Per-Property Crew Pay Rates. HouseCallPro has flat crew pay rates. Rinsebase lets you set different pay rates per property — leads earn more, and you can override per individual crew member.
Only in Rinsebase
Quotes That Auto-Convert to Jobs. HouseCallPro has no quoting feature. Rinsebase lets you send a professional quote with line items — when the client accepts online, a job is automatically created on your schedule.
Only in Rinsebase
Per-Property Supply Tracking. HouseCallPro has no supply catalog for cleaning properties. Rinsebase lets crew log what was used each clean — when stock drops below your set threshold, owners and homeowners are alerted automatically. No manual flagging, no group texts.

The real math — apples to apples

5 cleaners on HouseCallPro Essentials: $189/mo.
5 cleaners on Rinsebase Growth: $59/mo.

5-crew operation
69%
cheaper than Essentials
10-crew operation
70%
cheaper than MAX (with more crew)
And the price gap is the easy part — here's what HouseCallPro still doesn't include at any tier:
  • ✗Airbnb / VRBO auto-job sync built for STR turnovers. HouseCallPro users add Turno on top — that's another 5% per clean.
  • ✗Spanish crew app. English-only, every tier.
  • ✗3-layer photo verification. No camera-only / EXIF / GPS check built for cleaning workflows.
  • ✗STR turnover workflows. Job templates assume one-time service calls, not 4-hour STR windows.
  • ✗Per-property crew pay rates. Flat pay rates only.
  • ✗Per-property supply tracking. No supply catalog, no threshold alerts, no automatic homeowner notifications.

Every one of these is included in Rinsebase Growth at $59/mo.

HouseCallPro MAX caps at 8 users for $329/mo + $35/user after. Rinsebase Pro covers 10 crew at $99 — the gap widens as you scale.

Is it right for you?

How to switch from
HouseCallPro to Rinsebase

Switching is easier than you think. Rinsebase has a built-in HouseCallPro importer that handles your client data automatically:

1. Export your data from HouseCallPro — Go to Reports, Customer Export, Download CSV.

2. Import into Rinsebase — Go to Settings, Import Data, Select HouseCallPro, Upload your CSV. Column formats are auto-detected, phone numbers normalized, and addresses geocoded in the background.

3. Invite your crew — Enter their email or phone. They get a branded invite, download the app, and pick English or Spanish.

4. Connect your clients' Airbnb calendars — Add their iCal links once. New reservations auto-create cleaning jobs from that point forward.

Most businesses are fully set up within 30 minutes. The 14-day free trial means you can run both platforms in parallel while you transition.

A note from the founder

"I'm Todd. Marine Corps veteran. My wife runs a cleaning crew. I watched her manage Airbnb turnovers on a spreadsheet — fielding host texts at 9pm, translating notes for her Spanish-speaking crew, chasing late payments. So I built her the software that didn't exist."
