RoundlyCompare apps / Still on paper or a spreadsheet?
Keep your round the way you like it. Just on your phone.

Keep your diary going alongside it for the 3 free months. No card needed.
What a diary or spreadsheet does well
Most people stay with the way they know. In a Sage and IPSE survey of UK sole traders who aren’t VAT registered and use no accounting software, 77% said what stopped them was “I’m used to my current way of keeping records” (September 2025).
- It's free
- You know it inside out, so there's nothing new to learn
- A diary needs no signal and no charging
- A spreadsheet can do a lot if you're good with formulas
“If it aint broke i aint gonna try fixing it”
A forum member who runs their round on Google Sheets, Window Cleaning Forums, June 2021
Roundly keeps two of those: it works with no signal, and your whole list comes out as a spreadsheet whenever you want it. It does cost money after the free 3 months: £15 a month for the whole round.
Where it runs out

Working out who's due
Every 4, 6 or 8 weeks, each customer's next clean is worked out and written in by hand. Roundly keeps how often each customer is cleaned and lists who's due, overdue or going cold. Book them in with two taps.
Knowing who owes you
Adding up who hasn't paid means going back through the pages. Roundly keeps everyone who owes on one list, with how long, and one tap writes a friendly WhatsApp reminder with your bank details.
Telling a worker where next
They need your book, or a call from you. In Roundly each worker sees their own jobs in order, with directions, on their own phone. Every worker is included in the £15.
Losing the book
Lose a diary without a copy, or a laptop holding your only spreadsheet, and you could lose your records. A backed-up or cloud spreadsheet protects against that too. Roundly saves your changes as you work, takes a backup every night, and lets you download your whole list any time.
A real round runs on it: Dropby Window Cleaners in North London has used Roundly every working day since 9 September 2026, with 178 customers. Dropby is co-owned by the person who makes Roundly.
How moving over works
- Got a spreadsheet? Upload it to Roundly, or email it to [email protected] and we'll put your round in for you, free.
- See how your customers will look before anything is added. Anyone already in Roundly isn't added twice.
- Got a paper diary? Start with one day's customers. Add their names, addresses and prices, then try Roundly alongside your diary. Bring the rest over when you're ready.
- Keep your diary or spreadsheet going alongside Roundly for the 3 free months. Nothing is charged unless you say yes.
- Download your whole list as a spreadsheet any time, from the Work screen. It opens in Excel or Google Sheets.
