GrowClean vs Clean Proposals

Clean Proposals is an affordable, phone-friendly way for small cleaning companies to bid and send professional proposals. GrowClean covers the same ground with deeper pricing control, then adds inspections and key custody for the accounts you win. Here is how to decide.

What Clean Proposals does well

Clean Proposals is built for cleaning companies that want professional proposals without a big software bill. It includes a CRM, a walkthrough wizard with photos and notes, a bidding calculator, unlimited branded proposals, and contract templates for all 50 states. Proposals can be signed electronically on mobile or desktop, and proposal tracking shows when clients open them.

It runs in the browser with no app to install, so you can do the walkthrough, proposal, and signature on your phone. It also covers residential and post-construction cleaning, not only commercial janitorial. At $49 per month with a 14-day free trial, it is one of the most affordable tools in the category.

Where Clean Proposals stops is after the signature. Its homepage does not list inspections, scheduling, or timekeeping, so once you win the account you need other tools to service it.

Where GrowClean is different

We do not try to be everything. We focus on winning profitable contracts: on-site bidding with margin control, then the tools that keep those accounts.

Pricing built from your real costs

Every service carries a production rate, and every category carries your loaded labor cost and target margin. GrowClean shows monthly cost, price, and labor hours for every line.

AI photo analysis

Snap a photo of a room on the walkthrough and GrowClean identifies the space and suggests tasks, frequencies, and matching services from your catalog.

Service windows and agreement terms

Set service days and time windows for each day of the week, agreement start and end dates, and an expiration date on every quote.

Inspections and key custody after you win

The Growth plan adds AI-scored quality inspections, key tracking, and employee certification tracking, so the account doesn't leave the app once it is signed.

Pricing side by side

Published monthly prices. Every GrowClean plan is flat-rate with no setup fee and a 14-day free trial.

    $49/mo

Clean Proposals keeps it simple with a single $49 monthly plan. GrowClean's Starter plan is $29 per month for bidding, proposals, and e-signature, and the Growth plan is $79 per month with unlimited quotes, inspections, key tracking, and employee tracking.

If proposals are all you need and you value state contract templates or residential work, Clean Proposals is good value. If you want margin control on every line and tools to service the accounts you win, the extra $30 per month for GrowClean Growth usually pays for itself on the first contract.
