Squeegee review (UK, 2026)

Squeegee is a round-planning, invoicing and payments app made for window cleaners, bin cleaners and other mobile cleaning businesses. We compared its pricing, features and user ratings on 12 October 2026 to see how it stacks up against CleanerPlanner and general job apps.

Who should buy Squeegee, and who should not?

The one thing we would like Squeegee to fix is its pricing page. It names four tiers, but the price for each tier did not load for us. You can see the starting price, not what the middle tiers cost.

Squeegee key facts

What does Squeegee do well?

Built for rounds

Window cleaning is repeat work: the same houses every four or eight weeks, in a set order. Squeegee is designed for exactly that. It plans your schedule, checks addresses, maps each job and optimises the route, with a different start and end point for each worker.

Invoice as you go

When you mark a job done, you can send the invoice "with just one swipe". Squeegee then sends payment reminders automatically. On a big round of small cleans, that cuts out a lot of evening invoicing.

Getting paid automatically

Customers can be invited to set up automated payments through GoCardless (direct debit) or Stripe (card). Squeegee says more than a million payments go through the app every month. For window cleaners, cash and "I'll pay next time" are the biggest headache, and automated payment fixes most of it.

Messaging

Bulk messages send appointment reminders, invoice alerts and payment requests. Night-before texts mean fewer locked gates and missed cleans.

Strong reviews

Trustpilot rates Squeegee 4.7 from 169 reviews, and Google Play 4.6 from 309 (both checked 12 Oct 2026). Reviewers praise the time it saves and the support.

Where does Squeegee fall short?

• Tier prices are hard to find. Only the starting price (£15.83 plus VAT) was readable. Capterra UK shows £9.80, which conflicts.
• Not for project work. It is built around repeat visits. If you quote for bigger jobs, such as gutter replacement or conservatory roofs, a general job app handles that better.
• Accounting links not named. Squeegee mentions "integration partners" but we did not see Xero or QuickBooks named. Its own bookkeeping and VAT return tools may be enough for a sole trader. Check with your accountant.
• Customer portal not mentioned. We found no self-service customer portal on the pages we checked.
• Trustpilot note. Trustpilot flags that Squeegee has not replied to negative reviews. The only 1-star review (April 2026) described a billing error and poor service.

How much does Squeegee cost?

The pricing page lists "Add Unlimited Customers" under job management, but the page we read did not show which tiers include it. Payment provider fees are extra.

Worked example: a 300-clean round

Say you clean 300 houses a month at £20 each, all paying by direct debit:

• Squeegee: from £15.83 plus VAT, about £19.00 a month.
• GoCardless fees: 1% plus 20p per collection (Whito, read 4 Sep 2026) is 40p on a £20 clean, so £120 a month for 300 collections. Check GoCardless's current fees, as the provider sets them, not Squeegee.
• The same round on ServiceM8: 300 jobs needs the Premium plan (up to 500 jobs) at £119 a month.
• The same round on CleanerPlanner Pro: £29 a month, with GoCardless and SMS included on that plan.

For round-based work, both specialist apps cost far less than a general app priced by job count.

What do users say about Squeegee?

92% of Trustpilot reviews are 5 stars. Common praise: less admin, everything in one place and helpful support. Note that only 23 of the 169 reviews are from the last 12 months.

Who is Squeegee best for?

• Sole-trader window cleaners: the best fit. Low cost, and direct debit stops the chasing.
• Window cleaning teams of 2 to 10: a good fit, with worker assignments and per-worker routes. Ask which tier you need for multiple users.
• Bin cleaners and domestic cleaners on fixed schedules: a good fit.
• Cleaners doing one-off deep cleans or end-of-tenancy work: look at our cleaning business software guide instead.

What should I check before moving my round to Squeegee?

1. Ask Squeegee for the price of each tier in writing, and which tier you need for your number of workers.
2. Confirm whether a free trial or free version is currently offered, because Capterra UK and Squeegee's own page disagree.
3. If you already collect by direct debit, ask Squeegee and your payment provider whether your existing customer mandates can move across, so customers do not have to sign up again.
4. If your accountant uses Xero or QuickBooks, ask Squeegee which integration partners it supports today.
5. Run a week of your round in the app before you cancel your old system.
