Swept review

Swept is janitorial software for commercial cleaning businesses that manage recurring work across multiple sites. Instead of organizing the operation only around staff or shifts, it puts scheduling, time tracking, checklists, inspections, messages and client reporting around the location being cleaned.

Cleaners can clock in and out at the door using geofencing, while managers get alerts about late arrivals and no-shows. Location-specific checklists give teams a record of required tasks, and photo inspections help document work quality. Messages stay organized by location, with translation available in 100+ languages, according to the product information.

The pricing page lists unlimited employees and subcontractors on Optimize and Scale, with prices covering up to 15 locations. Scale adds a client portal and profit-and-loss reporting by location. Accelerate has custom pricing and no location cap. That makes Swept a more natural fit for commercial cleaners than for businesses looking for a general-purpose field-service system.

Swept’s clearest advantage is that it ties daily work to the building being cleaned. A manager can schedule work across locations, assign location-specific checklists and use geofenced clock-ins to track attendance at the site. Late and no-show alerts can help surface coverage problems, while photo inspections give managers evidence to review when work quality is disputed.

The location-based setup also carries into communication and reporting. Team messages stay grouped by location, and the product information says translation covers 100+ languages. The pricing page lists 150+ languages on Optimize and Scale. Unlimited employees and subcontractors are included at the listed price, so adding cleaners does not change the stated user allowance.

Scale is the more useful tier for operators who need to report beyond the cleaning team. It adds a client portal, profit-and-loss reporting by location and QuickBooks Online payroll integration. Those are practical additions for businesses managing client expectations and checking which sites are profitable, rather than features that every cleaning company necessarily needs.

The location cap is the main pricing detail to check before switching. Optimize is listed at $150 per month, or $120 per month with annual billing, and Scale at $225 per month, or $180 per month annually. Both listed prices cover up to 15 locations. The pricing material does not publish what additional locations cost on either plan. Accelerate removes the location cap, but its price is custom, so larger operators cannot compare it from the published rates alone.

Some useful capabilities are reserved for the higher tiers. Profit-and-loss reporting by location, the client portal and QuickBooks Online payroll integration are listed under Scale, not Optimize. Swept Connect is an add-on for Scale, but its add-on price is not published; it is included with Accelerate.

There is no free plan listed, and the published pricing information does not state whether a free trial is available. Teams should confirm location overages and any add-on charges directly before budgeting a migration.

Swept’s Optimize plan is $150 per month, or $120 per month with annual billing. It covers up to 15 locations and includes scheduling, photo inspections, unlimited employees and subcontractors, and 150+ languages, according to the published pricing details. Scale costs $225 monthly or $180 per month annually, also for up to 15 locations. That’s a $75 monthly jump over Optimize, or $60 monthly on annual billing. Scale adds a client portal, profit-and-loss reporting by location, and QuickBooks Online payroll integration.

Annual billing is listed as saving 20%, but the published details don’t specify payment timing, cancellation terms, or refunds. There’s no free plan; trial availability is not published. Swept Connect is an add-on for Scale, and its price isn’t published. Accelerate has custom pricing, no location cap, and includes Swept Connect, but Swept doesn’t publish its price.

The published materials don’t document migration services, import tools, data exports, or contract and cancellation terms. We can’t estimate the work involved or say how easy it is to leave. Before switching, ask Swept what data you can export, in which formats, and whether employee, location, checklist, inspection, and message records can be transferred. Also confirm how existing schedules and client reports would move; the product is organized around cleaning locations, so those records matter to the setup.

Swept’s listed plans allow unlimited employees and subcontractors, but Optimize and Scale are capped at 15 locations at the listed price. Confirm the cost and plan requirements if you expect to exceed that cap. The published materials include no Reddit posts or comments about why users leave Swept, so we can’t attribute departure reasons to Reddit. Treat export access, migration help, and any custom-plan terms as questions to resolve before signing—not as published capabilities.
