looking for a software/app, ideally free to tell me who's house needs clean. Do you use it or do you just stick to the good old "spreadhsheet"?

[richywilts]

for £25 per month are cheaper options but cant beat it https://www.cleanerplanner.com/ free trial available also speak to rob the software designer and he can possibly transfer your data on to it

[Smudger]

Cleaner planner is the rolls Royce of software with great backup

Then a long way behind is awoka - buckit and window cleaner pro

Finally there is George - cheap and cheerful but works on a basic level

None are "free" - you get what you pay for! And these programs hold all your vital biz info

I use Aworka. I tried Cleaner Planner but didn't like the way you couldn't work from your planner. I believe that might have changed?

[Nick_Thompson]

Haven't Awoka and George merged?

New one soon available http://www.easywindowcleaner.com
I think it's free. Pay extra for add ons

I have not yet tried it.

Aworka and George have kind of merged but i am keeping original George as i find Aworka too finicky, George is a great bit of kit for a small business as it is only a one off fee of 50pounds with the option of paying 12 pounds a year for internet back up.
As a small trader i find cleaner planner is not worth 25 pounds a month, they do offer a 15 pound a month plan but that doesnt seem to do any more than George at a pound a month except you can only use george on one pc?

I had Buckit couple of years ago. They shut their site down surely they haven't opened back up! If so I wouldn't touch them.

[Smudger]

I didn't know they had shut down, I threw it out as one of the many also rans out there ( or not as in this case )

Let's face it wcpro had big potential but now it's pretty dead on its feet.

Cleaner planner has a monthly charge, but it does so much and so easily it more than saves it fee in time saved alone.

I use George and can't see me changing any time soon...it does everything I need..

No way would I pay 25 a month for CP

£25 per month is hardly breaking the bank for what it can do, each to there own I suppose

I showed "George" to a friend who has some geek job, and he just laughed at it! He was like 'people pay for that!' Its pretty poor to say the least.
Buckit was just a waste of time inputting data for their system to not work properly and they also didn't bother there arse to respond.
I now only have a small amount of window cleaning work so it's excel for me. If I were to have a two man setup then CP would be the way to go.

Why's it so poor then?

It's helped build my business for 5 years and I have an employee. ..

I'm a sole trader and I use CP for £25.00 a month the text service and GoCardless intergration alone saves me loads of time .

The sheer simplicity of most tasks also makes it worth it and the support from Rob who responds quickly .

And the forum is a big help although Stuart Soupy has the answer to almost every question .
