ZenMaid also just does cleaning. Brio costs less and translates in real time.
For a 10-person crew, Brio runs $74 a month. That is $29 plus $5 for each worker after the first. ZenMaid's closest real plan, Pro, runs $179.

ZenMaid is the closest thing on this list to a fair fight. It's cleaning-only, like Brio, and it's been serving maid services for a long time. Where the two split is price and language: ZenMaid's own Pro plan costs more per seat, and it has nothing for a bilingual conversation.
Brio translates messages and job notes between English and Spanish in real time, in either direction, so a conversation with a client or a worker doesn't have to stop to be understood. ZenMaid doesn't do that at all.
Brio and ZenMaid, line by line.
What ZenMaid does better
ZenMaid has been doing this specifically for cleaning and maid businesses for a long time, and its automatic client communication shows it. Appointment confirmations, reminders and follow-ups go out by text and email on their own, with no owner having to type anything, on every one of its plans. The price we're comparing against above is ZenMaid's Pro plan, the one that works for a real crew, because its cheaper Starter tier is capped at 40 appointments a month and its mobile app has no GPS. Pro Max exists too, at $49 a month before per-worker costs, and adds availability tracking, service ratings and custom-branded booking forms on top. Brio doesn't send anything automatically; you message a client yourself, inside Brio.
If your business runs on a lot of one-off residential bookings and automatic reminders are what keeps your calendar full, that's a real reason to look at ZenMaid.
