ZenMaid handles scheduling, and you run it. Kairvio answers, books, and bills, and we set it up and run it for you.
ZenMaid doesn't include a business phone line or AI that answers your leads, so many owners juggle a personal cell, voicemails, and Facebook messages on the side. With Kairvio, missed calls get a text back within seconds and AI answers texts, web chat, and social messages. AI phone answering is available to add.
With ZenMaid, the Facebook message about a reschedule is often in your phone and the voicemail is in a different app. Kairvio's one inbox keeps every call, text, and message per customer in one place.
ZenMaid starts at $19/mo, then prices by the number of cleaners and office staff on your team, with SMS billed separately, so the bill climbs as you hire. Kairvio is one flat price, $197/mo for your whole team with setup included, with no per-user fees. Being fair: for a small team that only needs scheduling, ZenMaid will cost less.
If you expand into adjacent services (carpet cleaning, pressure washing, junk removal), a maid-focused tool may not fit as well. Kairvio is built for local service businesses in general.
Missed-call text-back, AI messaging, one inbox, booking, and payments, all set up for you.
