How it works

The walk-through, without the drive

  1. 1

    Text your client the link

    Type your business name and your hourly rate. You get a link and a ready-made message to send.

  2. 2

    They snap each room

    One photo per room, about two minutes. They see their photos, never a time or a price.

  3. 3

    You get the report

    Every photo with the buildup, the time and the price at your rate. Correct anything, then send your quote.

Where the price comes from

The AI only describes the room. Every minute comes from the table below, so the same room always gets the same quote. A recently cleaned room counts for 85% of the time and heavy buildup for 150%. Each job adds 15 minutes once for setup and wrap-up. The total time is multiplied by your hourly rate and rounded up to the next $5. Need to work out that rate first? Use the house cleaning price calculator.

FAQ

Snap Quote questions

How does Snap Quote work?

You type your business name and your hourly rate and get a link. You text it to your client, who snaps one photo of each room they want cleaned. Each photo lands in your private report with the room, its size, how much buildup there is, the cleaning time and the price at your rate.

Does my client see the price?

No. Your client sees their own photos and which room each one is, nothing else. The time, the buildup, your hourly rate and the price are only in your private report. You decide what to quote and send it yourself.

Why not just ask for photos by text?

You can, but you get a pile of pictures in a thread and still have to do the math. Snap Quote asks for every room one by one, tells you which rooms have heavy buildup before you promise a price, and adds up the time for you.

How accurate is a cleaning quote from photos?

It is a starting estimate. A photo cannot show what is behind a door or inside an oven, so you can correct the size and the buildup of any room and switch add-ons on or off. Confirm the details with your client before you promise a price.

What hourly rate should I use?

The rate is what a client pays for one hour of one cleaner's work, not what you pay the cleaner. It starts at $50 and you can set your own. To work yours out from wages, supplies, overhead and profit, use the house cleaning price calculator.

What happens to the photos?

They are read by AI to work out the cleaning time, kept in private storage for 30 days so you can look at them, then deleted. Only someone with your private report link can see them, so keep that link to yourself.

Is Snap Quote free?

Yes. There is no account and no card, for you or your client. One request holds up to 14 rooms.

Can clients get a price and book on their own?

Yes, with Broombook. Its free plan gives your business a booking page where clients see an instant price from their bedrooms, bathrooms and home size, then pick a time.
