Autopilot vs Maidily
Maidily is simple, cheap scheduling and booking software for micro cleaning businesses, with unlimited users on every plan. Autopilot is the better fit once your job count grows past the meter, or once missed calls start costing you work that an AI receptionist would have booked.

Who is Maidily?
Maidily is a small, privately held company selling straightforward scheduling and booking software for micro to small cleaning businesses. It covers the basics cleanly: online booking, recurring scheduling, SMS notifications, invoicing with Stripe and Square payments, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Every plan includes unlimited users, a genuinely friendly policy for teams with part-timers and contractors.
The pricing meter is jobs, not seats. A Free Forever plan covers up to 10 jobs a month, Start is $29 a month for 50 jobs, Grow is $49 for 150, and Scale is $99 for 250, with overage fees in 50-job increments beyond each cap. QuickBooks sync arrives on the Grow plan, and API access, team location tracking, and AI-assisted scheduling sit on Scale. There are no contracts and paid plans have free trials.
The limits show at the edges. There is no built-in phone, no AI receptionist, no review funnel, and no marketing campaign tools advertised, and a busy cleaning company doing 60 jobs a week blows through every job cap. Maidily is honest starter software; it is not built to run the whole front office of a growing operation.
Who is Autopilot?
Autopilot is an all-in-one CRM built for home service businesses: junk removal, cleaning, landscaping, moving, and the rest of the trades that keep neighborhoods running. Plans start at $49 a month for scheduling, estimates, invoicing, payments, and online booking. Crew at $99 adds two-way texting and limited calling. Full Throttle at $149 adds the full phone system, AI receptionist, QuickBooks, GPS, and marketing tools. Plans include 1, 5, or 10 team members respectively.
It was built by a founder who ran his own junk removal company and got tired of paying for three tools that didn't talk to each other. Over 400 businesses run on it today, and it holds a 4.8 rating on the App Store and 4.9 on Google Play.
Against Maidily, the pitch is no job meter and no missing pieces: unlimited jobs, with the phone, AI receptionist, reviews, and marketing included flat.
