How to read the marksYesNoWith limitsNot published

How we scored

Each app gets up to 10 points, one for each of ten checks, all worth the same. The score out of 5 is the points divided by 2. Facts and prices were read from each app's own site on 26 October 2026. We score features on the plan we priced for one person in the cost example (the cheapest plan that lets you send invoices and texts; Scrubix has one free app), and each card says which plan that is. Where an app does not publish a fact, it gets half a point for that check, never zero and never full. Cards are in order of score, highest first. Apps on the same points are in A to Z order.

  1. Cost for you alone, 300 customers. The subscription a month, from the cost table. 1 point at £10 or less, ½ over £10 up to £20, 0 over £20.
  2. Cost for you and 4 workers, 900 customers. The subscription a month, from the cost table. 1 point at £40 or less, ½ over £40 up to £75, 0 over £75. Price not published: ½.
  3. No extra charges for texts or payments. 1 point if the app confirms there are none. ½ if it does not publish its text or payment prices, or only some of them. 0 if it publishes a charge for texts or payments.
  4. Card payments taken for you. 1 point if the plan we priced takes them. ½ if the app does not say whether that plan does, or does not say at all. 0 if that plan, or the app, does not offer them.
  5. Direct Debit taken for you. The same rule as card payments.
  6. Texts to customers. 1 point if the app sends them for you on the plan we priced. ½ if you send them yourself or through your own phone, or the app does not say. 0 if that plan does not offer them.
  7. Invoices. 1 point if you can send invoices on the plan we priced. 0 if not.
  8. Phone app. 1 point for the App Store and Google Play (iPhone and Android). ½ for a web app or Android only. 0 for none.
  9. Free to try. 1 point for a free app, or 3 months or more free for anyone. ½ for 30 days up to 6 weeks, or a longer offer only some people can have. 0 for none.
  10. Moving your round in. 1 point if the app publishes a way to move your round in and says it is free or included. ½ if a way is published but nothing says whether it costs anything, or nothing is published. 0 if only for a fee.

The stars show the score to the nearest half star. Roundly is one of the seven and wrote these rules, so every point is shown on each card when you open it, and you can add it up yourself.

What your round would cost a month

The cheapest plan from each app that lets you send invoices and texts, billed monthly, from prices read on 26 October 2026. The bars show the subscription only: texts, and payment charges where an app has them, cost extra. Lowest subscription first.

You alone, 300 customers

Aworka Team is £30 with one employee plus £10 for each other (£60), without VAT, so £72 with VAT. Squeegee is per user: 5 x £22.80. getSoapy Pro is £17.50 plus 4 x £4.90. Yearly billing is cheaper at some apps. RoundRun's team price is not confirmed, so it has no bar in the second chart. Where an app has a published text price the sum is shown under the chart, one credit or text per visit. Texts are counted as one a visit on a four-weekly round: 300 customers x 13 visits a year / 12 = 325 a month.

Where Roundly fits

  • Every worker is included in the price, which depends only on your customer count.
  • No VAT is added and there are no text credits to buy.
  • 3 months free, no card details needed, and we will put your round in for you, free.
Start your free 3 months

Where Roundly loses

  • No card or Direct Debit payments.
  • No automatic texts. Roundly writes the message and you send it.
  • Not in the App Store or Google Play. It is a web app you add to your Home Screen.
  • Dearer alone at 300 customers than Aworka (£15), RoundRun (£15.99 once billing opens) and getSoapy (£7). At 900 customers with 5 people, dearer than getSoapy (£37.10) and Cleaner Planner (£49).
  • No tax returns, accounts or bank matching. It does not plan the quickest route.
  • It has been used on Dropby's round only since 9 September 2026, and there are no customer reviews on our site yet.

Questions people ask

What is the best window cleaning app in the UK?

There is no one best. It depends on whether you work alone, whether you want card or Direct Debit taken for you, and whether you want to pay for texts. The quick answers above match each case to an app.

Is there a free window cleaning app?

Scrubix has a free app. You pay for texts (3.5p to 5p each), for card and Direct Debit payment charges, and for an optional dedicated number at £9.99 a month. RoundRun is free for its first 50 members during its beta. getSoapy gives its Starter plan free for 12 months to new businesses or those with under 50 customers. Roundly is free for 3 months with no card details needed, then from £9.99 a month.

How much does window cleaning software cost in the UK?

On the prices published on 26 October 2026, the subscription for one person with 300 customers is between £7 and £29 a month on a paid plan (Scrubix is £0). The subscription for five people with 900 customers is between £37.10 and £114 a month on a paid plan, and RoundRun's team price is not confirmed. Texts cost extra at most apps. The tables above show every figure and how we reached it.
