DusterBook is one product with the same core modules everywhere: customers and properties, line-item quotes, a public booking page, a job calendar with assignments, and invoices your clients open via link. The pages below explain how different cleaning businesses use those modules—without pretending we are a marketplace, a CMMS, or a full field-service suite.
We built for owner-operators and small teams (usually one to ten people) in residential and light commercial work. Subscriptions run through Polar on Solo ($14.99/month) or Team ($29.99/month) with a 14-day trial. Customer card payments on your invoices are not live yet; SMS and QuickBooks sync are not available today.

Shared features across verticals
Quotes use your service catalog as line items. Send a link; customers accept without a DusterBook login. Convert accepted quotes into scheduled jobs when you are ready.
Booking uses your public booking page on DusterBook (your business name and slug). New leads request times; you confirm inside the app. This is not a lead marketplace—visitors are coming to your brand.
Scheduling is a calendar with assignments. Cleaners on Team plans see only their jobs; owners and managers see the full board. There is no automatic GPS routing engine.
Invoicing sends links and supports PDF export. Mark jobs complete, then invoice. Collect payment through your existing methods until online pay ships.
Roles separate owners, managers, and cleaners. Team plan supports up to ten users, recurring jobs, logo branding, and CSV export.
When DusterBook is not the right tool
Enterprise facilities software, inventory-heavy supply tracking, consumer marketplaces, and native accounting sync are out of scope for v1. If you need those first, start with vendors that specialize there—then revisit whether a lighter quoting and scheduling layer still helps.

Questions owners ask
Whether you run solo or with a van crew, the same three bottlenecks appear: quoting without a spreadsheet, double-booking Saturday routes, and invoices sent late. DusterBook does not fix supply ordering or HR payroll, but it does keep the client record attached from first quote through every revisit.
If you are migrating from paper, import customers on Team via CSV after you normalize columns. There is no automatic data migration from Jobber or Housecall Pro—you export from them and import here.
