Disclosure: QuoteIQ publishes this guide and ranks itself #1. We list QuoteIQ's gaps and source every competitor price from the vendor's own page, checked October 20, 2026. QuoteIQ facts come only from the QuoteIQ Help Center, whose overview lists window and gutter cleaning among the trades QuoteIQ serves.

Quick answer: what is the best CRM for window cleaning in 2026?

For residential and storefront window cleaners, we recommend QuoteIQ. Window cleaning lives on three things: quick quotes priced by window count with add-ons like screens and tracks, repeat customers on a schedule, and reviews. QuoteIQ covers the basics on the $29.99 Essentials plan. You get options and package estimates, recurring jobs, invoice subscriptions with auto-pay, and a review page customers reach after paying. Elite ($299.99, 10 users) adds an instant window cleaning quote form for your website, route optimization and automated review requests.

ResponsiBid is the best-known instant-quote tool in this trade, though it describes itself as working alongside a CRM. Jobber is well rated but ranks last because of how its price grows with the team.

Our 2026 ranking:

  1. QuoteIQ: best overall CRM for window cleaners

  2. ResponsiBid: best website instant quoting (alongside a CRM)

  3. Markate: best low-cost generalist with add-ons

  4. Housecall Pro: best established platform with published prices

  5. ServiceM8: best free starting point for a solo cleaner

  6. Kickserv: lowest published price for a 5-person team

  7. Jobber: well reviewed, but pricier as the team grows

What should a window cleaning CRM do?

We scored each platform on what fills a window cleaner's week:

  • Fast quotes by window count. With add-ons for screens, tracks, hard water and interiors.

  • Recurring customers. Monthly storefronts and twice-a-year homes, billed without retyping invoices.

  • Routes. Tight days with little driving between stops.

  • Proof and reviews. Before and after photos, and a simple way to ask for a review.

  • Web leads. A quote form that prices the job while the customer is still on your site.

We compared only CRM and field service platforms plus one quoting tool that's built for this trade. Accounting software isn't covered, though QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online on Pro and up.

1. QuoteIQ: best overall CRM for window cleaning

Best for: Residential and storefront window cleaning companies from a solo operator to about 20 people.

How it fits a window cleaning route

  • Quote by the window (every plan). Build services priced per window or per quantity, such as interior panes, screens and tracks. QuoteIQ's pre-made templates include a per-quantity interior window cleaning line as an example.

  • Let the customer choose (every plan). Options estimates let the customer check the add-ons they want, like screens or hard water removal. Package estimates let them pick one bundle, such as exterior only or inside and out. Quick Estimates let you price a walk-up storefront without building a full customer profile.

  • Instant quotes from your website (Elite and Max). InstaQuote includes a Window Cleaning template. The example prices by window count (0 to 10 windows $125, 11 to 20 $200, 21 to 30 $275) with yes/no add-ons for tracks ($25), screens ($50) and hard water ($75), and suggests interior windows and a monthly program as upsells. InstaSchedule lets customers book a time.

  • Recurring jobs (every plan). Jobs can repeat daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or every 6 months. There's no quarterly option, which matters for window cleaners. See the cons.

  • Bill on a schedule (every plan). Invoice subscriptions bill weekly, biweekly, monthly or on a custom interval, with Auto-Pay from a card on file or manual billing.

  • Plan the day. Route Optimization (Elite and Max) orders the stops, and Route Density Zones group service days by area. Every plan shows wind and rain chance on the calendar.

  • Photos (Beginner and up). QuoteIQ Cam saves photos and video to the job, and the Before and After photo editor builds comparison images.

  • Reviews. The Review Multiplier dashboard and review link are on every plan, and customers are sent to your review page after they pay. Automated email and text review requests are Elite and Max.

  • On the way (Pro and up). On The Way texts let the customer know you're coming. Automated appointment reminders by text or email are on every plan.

Pros

  • Options and package quotes, recurring jobs and auto-pay billing on the $29.99 plan.

  • A window cleaning instant quote template on Elite.

  • A seasonal pause of 30, 60 or 90 days if you slow down in winter.

Cons

  • No quarterly recurring interval for jobs. A quarterly customer needs separate jobs, or a dated reminder task (Beginner and up), though invoice subscriptions do support a custom interval.

  • Route optimization, the website quote form and automated review requests need Elite ($299.99).

  • Unpaid-invoice reminders are manual (Send Reminder, by email).

  • The 14-day trial requires a card, and AI features use IQ Credits that don't roll over.

  • Card-processing rates aren't published in the help center.

2. ResponsiBid: best website instant quoting (alongside a CRM)

ResponsiBid has a free Startup plan, a Scaling plan at $179/month and a Pro plan at $229/month. The page also describes a setup fee for coached onboarding but doesn't show the amount. It focuses on instant quotes from your website, with tiered options, automatic upsells, bundles and deposits. It's built for window cleaning, pressure washing and gutter companies, and says it works alongside your CRM, naming Jobber, Housecall Pro, Markate, The Customer Factor and ServiceMonster. A seasonal pause costs $50/month for up to 4 months.

Pros: Built around how window cleaners price. Cons: It's a quoting layer, so most companies pay for a CRM as well.

3. Markate: best low-cost generalist with add-ons

Markate is $49.95/month ($45.95 billed annually) plus $5 per employee, with a 14-day trial and no card. It includes standard, option and package estimates, recurring work orders, job costing and QuickBooks Online. Online booking, a customer portal, automated review requests, a business phone number and a ResponsiBid integration are $10/month add-ons each.

Pros: Low base price and a ResponsiBid connection. Cons: The add-ons a window business needs can double the price.

4. Housecall Pro: best established platform with published prices

Housecall Pro is $79/month for Basic (1 user; $59 annually), $189 for Essentials (5 users; $149 annually) and $329 for Max (8 users; $299 annually). Basic includes online booking, a price book and review management. Recurring service plans and route optimization are on Max.

Pros: Clear prices and a mature app. Cons: Recurring service plans need the $329 Max plan.

5. ServiceM8: best free starting point for a solo cleaner

ServiceM8 prices by jobs per month: Free (30 jobs), Starter $29 (50), Growing $79 (150), Premium $149 (500 jobs) and Premium Plus $349 (1,500+ jobs), with unlimited users on paid plans and 20¢ per extra job. Recurring jobs, on-the-way SMS and quotes with options are listed.

Pros: Free to start. Cons: Short recurring jobs add up quickly against a job cap.

6. Kickserv: lowest published price for a 5-person team

Kickserv has Start at $60/month for 5 users, Run at $119 for 10 and Scale at $199 for 20, with 20% off annual plans and a 30-day free trial.

Pros: Low price per user. Cons: No window-specific quoting listed.

7. Jobber: well reviewed, but pricier as the team grows

Jobber is well rated: 4.6/5 from 1,487 verified reviews on GetApp (support also 4.6) and 4.8 from about 21,000 ratings on the App Store.

It ranks last on cost. Jobber's pricing page (no-commitment monthly, checked October 20, 2026) puts job costing, two-way SMS and optional line items on Grow: $199 for 1 user, $299 for up to 5, $399 for up to 10, with extra users at $29.

  • 4 users: at least $286/month on Grow (QuoteIQ Pro: $199.99)

  • 6 users: at least $328/month on Grow (QuoteIQ Pro plus 2 users: $249.99)

  • 10 users: at least $399/month on Grow (QuoteIQ Elite: $299.99)

On Core, Connect and Grow, Receptionist ($29/month), Pipeline ($49/month) and Marketing Suite ($99/month) are paid add-ons; Plus includes them from $499/month. Card payments are 2.9% + 30¢ and ACH is 1%.

GetApp's support summary is mostly positive but notes that "a minority of users report slow response times, difficulty escalating issues, and inconsistent support quality when facing complex problems." That's a minority experience.

To be fair to Jobber: the trial needs no card, Connect ($199 for up to 5 users) includes routing and is cheaper if you don't need Grow features, and it syncs with Xero.
