Switching from MaidCentral?
The best MaidCentral alternative for cleaning businesses
MaidCentral is genuinely deep: KPI dashboards, payroll integration, pricing tools, and a coaching community. For established cleaning companies doing high six figures and up, that machinery earns its keep. But organizing the work was never the part that eats your evenings: the client texts, the quotes, the invoices, and the follow-ups are. That is the job Eva takes off your phone.

MaidCentral
Enterprise cleaning software, versus a manager any owner can afford.
MaidCentral is high-end management software for established cleaning companies, with deep scheduling, job costing, KPI tracking, payroll integration, and pricing tools, sold alongside coaching and onboarding. It targets businesses already past several hundred thousand dollars in revenue.
Why cleaning business owners look for a MaidCentral alternative
MaidCentral is genuinely deep: KPI dashboards, payroll integration, pricing tools, and a coaching community. For established cleaning companies doing high six figures and up, that machinery earns its keep. The switch usually starts with what it does not do:
Help now, not machinery later
With Eva: MaidCentral rewards companies with office staff to run it. Eva IS the office staff: she does the scheduling, texting, and invoicing herself.
Priced for the owner, not the enterprise
With Eva: Eva starts free and stays a fraction of a $450 entry point, so the help arrives years before you could justify enterprise software.
Working out of the box
With Eva: No demo call, no onboarding project. Bring your clients and Eva starts running the day this week.
Get your evenings back. Eva runs the admin from day one.
No credit card. Cancel anytime, keep your data.
This is what running on Eva looks like
Your week, booked and color-coded, with the client messages, invoices, and follow-ups happening underneath it, on their own.
Eva vs MaidCentral, feature by feature
The basics on both sides, then the difference: who actually does the work.
What about the price?
MaidCentral starts around $450 a month with demo-first sales and structured onboarding, which is rational for a large company and out of reach for most solo owners and small teams. Below that scale you are paying enterprise prices to operate enterprise machinery yourself.
Switching from MaidCentral takes a day, not a month

MaidCentral alternative: FAQ
What is the best MaidCentral alternative?
For owners who want the power without the enterprise ticket, Eva is the natural alternative: she does the scheduling, client communication, and invoicing herself, starts free, and needs no onboarding project. ZenMaid is the simpler-calendar option at the other end.
How much does MaidCentral cost?
Entry pricing starts around $450 a month, sold demo-first with structured onboarding. That is rational machinery for a large company with office staff, and a heavy ticket for a solo owner or small team still doing the admin themselves.
Who is MaidCentral for?
Established cleaning companies, typically past several hundred thousand dollars in revenue, with office staff to operate it. Its KPI dashboards, payroll integration, and coaching community reward that scale and are overkill below it.
What is the difference between MaidCentral and Eva?
MaidCentral gives a large company deep machinery to operate. Eva gives any owner a manager who operates: she runs the schedule, the client texting in English or Spanish, and the invoicing herself, from your first cleaner onward.
Is there cleaning software with MaidCentral's benefits at small-business prices?
That gap is exactly why Eva exists: done-for-you daily operations at software prices, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card. You keep the enterprise upgrade as an option for the day you have office staff to feed it.
