Akye review
Akye brings bookings, job operations, cleaner pay, and contractor administration together.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Akye is cloud software for house-cleaning, maid-service, and other field-service businesses. It combines customer quoting and branded online booking with scheduling, recurring work, cleaner assignment, pay tracking, and job records. Hiring and onboarding workflows, W-9 collection, and contractor totals tracking extend it beyond day-to-day dispatch. It is aimed at small firms that want hiring and contractor administration alongside job operations, rather than a scheduling-only tool.
Its operations cover the job lifecycle: customers can book on a business-branded page, managers can reschedule jobs in a drag-and-drop calendar or broadcast work for cleaners to claim, and recurring jobs are supported. Cleaner pay can be tracked by percentage, hourly rate, or flat amount. Checklists, photos, clock-in and out, and customer signatures can document completed work. Automated booking confirmations, reminders, and review requests reduce routine customer follow-up. Customer card payments run through the business's Stripe account. Cleaner workflows use a texted web link, so staff do not need to install an app; the product is web-only, which may not suit teams that require native mobile apps.
The Solo plan is free and covers 2 cleaners and 20 jobs a month, with email only and no texting. Pro costs $79 per month and supports 10 cleaners and unlimited jobs, adding texting alongside per-job pay, payroll, 1099s, hiring pipeline and interviews, an SOP library, automations, and reporting. Scale is $249 per month, with unlimited cleaners and jobs and the same listed feature set as Pro. That structure gives growing teams a clear capacity step, but firms needing only basic scheduling may find the broader hiring and administration focus unnecessary. Akye fits cleaning businesses that want one system for bookings, crew workflows, and contractor administration; it is less suited to businesses that require a native cleaner app.
