Scheduling headaches, getting paid late, and no idea which clients are actually profitable.
Join cleaning professionals who ditched their SaaS stack for $279 once.
Juggling 15 clients across town with drive time, key pickups, and recurring schedules that keep changing. One overlap and your whole day falls apart.
You cleaned their house two weeks ago and still haven't been paid. Texting "just a reminder" is awkward and unprofessional.
That 4-bedroom house takes 4 hours and you're charging $150. After supplies and drive time, are you even making minimum wage?
Cleaning products, equipment replacement, gas — you're spending money to make money but have no idea how much.
Your typical tools are pre-selected. Add or remove to see your real cost.
See your day as a route, not just a list. Schedule clients by location so you're not zigzagging across town burning gas and time.
Job done? Invoice sent automatically with a payment link. No more awkward follow-up texts. Get paid the same day you clean.
See which clients are worth your time and which are costing you money. Factor in drive time, job duration, and supply costs to know your real hourly rate per client.

House cleaners typically need scheduling software, invoicing, payment processing, and basic accounting. Most end up using 2-3 separate apps (QuickBooks, Calendly, Venmo) at $50-80/month combined. Helix replaces all of these with a single $279 one-time purchase.
Most cleaners charge either hourly ($25-50/hr) or flat rate per home ($100-250 for a standard clean, $200-400 for deep clean). Flat rates are generally better — they reward efficiency and clients prefer knowing the total upfront. Factor in drive time, supplies, and your target hourly rate.
Yes — general liability insurance is essential. It covers you if you accidentally damage a client's property or someone gets injured. Most policies run $300-600/year. Many clients will ask for proof of insurance before hiring you. Bonding is also recommended for client trust.
Set a clear cancellation policy — typically 24-48 hours notice required, or the client pays a cancellation fee (usually 50% of the service). Put it in writing when they sign up. Helix lets you enforce cancellation policies automatically at booking.
Contractors are simpler to start — less paperwork, no payroll taxes, no workers' comp. But the IRS has strict rules about who qualifies as a contractor vs employee. If you set their schedule, provide supplies, and control how they clean, they're likely employees in the IRS's eyes. Consult an accountant before deciding.
No monthly fees. No app juggling. Everything connected.
