Why owners switch

You outgrew your software.
Here's what comes next.

Most cleaning business owners don't switch because they want to — they switch because their current software stopped keeping up with them. Here's what they told us, and how Rinsebase fixes it.

The real reasons

Seven things owners say
the moment they switch.

We don't do exit surveys on our competitors. But we do listen to every owner who signs up. These are the seven things we hear most.

1
The old way
"Every time an Airbnb reservation comes in I have to manually create a cleaning job." I'm doing this 10, 15, 20 times a week. It takes 5 minutes each time. That's almost 2 hours a week just creating jobs that should create themselves.
With Rinsebase
Paste your Airbnb iCal URL once. Every new reservation automatically creates a cleaning job with the right window, crew, and checklist. You never manually create a turnover job again.
2
The old way
"I'm paying $49, $59, $79 a month for software that doesn't even have half the features I need." I'm still doing half my operations manually because the software doesn't cover it — and I'm overpaying for what it does do.
With Rinsebase
Rinsebase starts at $19/month with core tools on every plan. More crew seats, STR automation, and advanced features unlock as your business grows — not as your bill grows. No surprise fees. No contracts. Upgrade when you're ready.
3
The old way
"Half my crew doesn't speak English fluently and every app I've tried is English only." I lose crew members to miscommunication. Checklists get missed. Jobs get done wrong because someone didn't understand the instructions.
With Rinsebase
The Rinsebase crew app is fully available in English and Spanish — every screen, checklist, notification, and alert. Crew picks their language on first launch. No translation layer. No miscommunication.
4
The old way
"I finish a job and spend 20 more minutes creating an invoice and chasing the client for payment." I'm running a cleaning business, not a billing department. I shouldn't have to think about invoicing after every job.
With Rinsebase
Job completes, invoice sends automatically, client pays from their portal. You never manually send an invoice. Stripe card and ACH payments go directly to your bank. Tips included.
5
The old way
"My software is built for HVAC and plumbers. I'm paying for features I'll never use." Generic field service software sort of works for cleaning — but it's never quite right. The terminology is wrong. The workflows don't match. It's a constant workaround.
With Rinsebase
Rinsebase is built exclusively for cleaning businesses and STR operators. Every feature, every workflow, every default — designed for how cleaning businesses actually operate. Not a generic platform that sort of fits.
6
The old way
"I don't know if my crew actually showed up at the property until they tell me." No GPS verification. No photo proof. No real-time visibility. I find out about problems after the guest complains, not before.
With Rinsebase
GPS clock-in verifies crew is at the property. Before & after photos upload in real time. Guest-ready confirmation fires the moment the job is marked done. You know before your guest does.
7
The old way
"I lost a property manager because a competitor showed them a nicer report." My clients get an invoice and that's it. No visibility into their properties, no cleaning history, no photo proof. I have nothing to show them that makes my service look different from the next cleaning company.
With Rinsebase
Give your STR clients and property managers a branded dashboard with per-property revenue, guest-ready confirmation rate, cleaning history, and photo proof — all under your company name. They see data no other cleaning company provides. Property managers stay because they can't get this visibility anywhere else. It's your competitive advantage.

Common questions

Things people ask
before they switch.

How long does it actually take to switch? +
Most owners are fully switched in one afternoon. Export your client list, import it into Rinsebase, invite your crew, and run your first job — all in the same day. No consultant, no migration service, no onboarding call required.
Will I lose my client history? +
No. Your client list, addresses, phone numbers, and notes all import via CSV. Job history from your old software doesn't transfer (it lives in their database), but your client records come with you completely.
Can I try Rinsebase before canceling my current software? +
Yes — and we recommend it. Your 14-day free trial requires no credit card. Run both platforms in parallel, make sure Rinsebase works the way you need it to, then cancel your old software. Most owners cancel within the first week.
What if I have recurring jobs set up in my current software? +
Recurring job schedules don't import automatically — you'll need to set those up again in Rinsebase. This takes about 5 minutes per recurring client. Most owners with 10-20 recurring clients have it done in under an hour.
Does Rinsebase have everything Jobber has for cleaning businesses? +
Yes — and more. Rinsebase includes everything Jobber offers for cleaning businesses (scheduling, invoicing, client management, payments, crew app) plus features Jobber doesn't have at any price: Airbnb/VRBO sync, a fully bilingual Spanish crew app, per-property pay rates, power outage alerts, and an SOS safety button.
Is there a contract or cancellation fee? +
No contracts, no minimums, no cancellation fees. Month-to-month only. Cancel any time from your billing settings — your data is available for 30 days after cancellation, and you can export everything before you go.
What happens to my Airbnb calendar sync when I switch? +
You'll set it up fresh in Rinsebase — just paste your Airbnb iCal URL in Settings. It takes about 2 minutes per property. Once connected, every future reservation automatically creates a cleaning job. You can remove the sync from your old software at the same time.
