Why Solo House Cleaning Pros Leave GorillaDesk
Enterprise field service suites were built for corporate offices. QuoteNest was built for the truck cab.
Built for Rooms & Bathrooms, Not Rodent Traps
GorillaDesk is engineered around pesticide application logs. QuoteNest is purpose-built for standard cleans, deep cleans, move-outs, and Airbnb turnovers.
No $99/mo Pro Tier Paywall for Portals
GorillaDesk locks client portals and automations behind its $99/mo Pro plan. QuoteNest includes Magic Client Portals and automated rebooking for $12/mo flat.

Save alarm codes, hidden key spots, and dog warnings on the client profile with 1-tap copy before walking up to the front door.
Save $444 to $1,044 Every Year

Our Honest Anti-Bloat Guarantee
We do not build GPS fleet vehicle tracking, 15-technician dispatch boards, or complex corporate accounting modules. If you manage a large fleet of service trucks, GorillaDesk is built for you. But if you're a solo house cleaning pro who just wants to calculate a quote in 30 seconds, send a branded link via WhatsApp, and get paid for $12/month, QuoteNest was engineered exclusively for you.

The Wall of Love
Join hundreds of solo cleaners and trade contractors who stopped overpaying for complex corporate CRMs.
"Was paying over $150/mo for heavy software with dispatch boards I never touched as a one-man show. QuoteNest is $12/mo flat and does exactly what I need right from my phone."
"I used to spend 15 minutes setting up estimates on my laptop at night. Now I build the quote and send it via WhatsApp before I even leave the customer's driveway."
"Most contractor software is built for 15-person companies with fleet GPS. QuoteNest is the first platform that feels like it was actually designed for solo owner-operators."
"I am not a tech person at all. Other software completely overwhelmed me with all the complicated menus and setups. QuoteNest took me 2 minutes to figure out."
"Sending professional proposals directly to my client's WhatsApp is incredible. Clients tap the link, hit approve, and I get paid the same day instead of waiting for emails to be opened."

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching your house cleaning quoting to QuoteNest.
Is QuoteNest a good GorillaDesk alternative for pressure washers and window cleaners?
Yes. While GorillaDesk is built primarily for pest control operators needing EPA pesticide tracking ($49–$99/mo per route), QuoteNest is built specifically for solo pressure washers, soft washers, window cleaners, and residential cleaners. You get 30-second square-footage and linear-footage calculators, 1-Tap Native SMS and WhatsApp proposals, and seasonal rebooking reminders for $12/month flat.
Do I have to upgrade to a $99/month Pro plan to get automations in QuoteNest?
No. QuoteNest has zero feature gating. Every plan ($12/mo Standard or $18/3-mo Founder Pass) includes the full Dual-Trade Quoting Engine, Client 360° Hub, Driveway Glance pinned property notes, 1-Tap Google Review Booster, and Dual Rebooking Engine.
Can I try QuoteNest without entering a credit card?
Yes. You can start a 14-day free trial in 60 seconds with no credit card required, including 25 WhatsApp automated messages and unlimited 1-Tap Native SMS.
How do I price a house cleaning job without undercharging?
Price by the job, not by the hour. Hourly rates punish you for being fast. Set a flat rate based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and cleaning type. A standard 3-bed/2-bath clean runs $150–$220 in most US markets. Deep cleans are 30–50% more. Use our estimator above to see what you should be charging.
Should I text my cleaning quotes or email them?
Direct messaging gets a 98% open rate. Email sits in spam. But a raw text with just a number looks cheap. The move is sending a professional branded link via WhatsApp — your client taps it, sees your business name, the price breakdown, and an Accept button. That's what QuoteNest does in 30 seconds.
