Kept vs ZenMaid

Priced by seat band, not by every cleaner you add.

ZenMaid's per-seat Pro pricing climbs the moment your team passes 2–3 staff. Kept's price only changes at seat-band thresholds — and includes a bond-clean calculator built in.

What reviewers say

The most-cited complaint about ZenMaid.

Per-cleaner pricing balloons

Reviewers note the price balloons past the sticker figure the moment a team grows past 2–3 staff on the per-seat Pro tier.

Cleaning only

If the business ever expands into another trade, ZenMaid doesn't come with it — Kept already covers 20+ trades in the same app.

Questions

Good to know.

Does Kept's price go up per cleaner like ZenMaid's?

No — Kept is priced by seat band (1 person, 2–4, 5–10, 11+), so the price only changes at those thresholds, not every time you add one more cleaner.

Does Kept have a bond-clean calculator like ZenMaid?

Yes — room and surface-based pricing for regular and bond cleans is built straight into the quote.
