OrangeQC alternatives: 7 inspection platforms compared

The short answer

• KleanProof: the right call if your gap is what happens after the inspection ends, when one ticket covers every fail from a walk, a photo is forced on every fail, and cleaners fix and prove it without needing a seat.
• Otuvy (formerly CleanTelligent): worth a look if you want the longest-running name in janitorial QC, with pricing it actually publishes.
• Mitti by SafetyCulture: makes sense when inspections across your whole company, cleaning included, matter more than cleaning-specific structure.
• GoAudits: the cheapest entry point per user, if inspections alone cover what you need.
• Swept: built for a different problem, scheduling, time tracking and crew communication, with inspections riding along.
• Janitorial Manager: for anyone who wants bidding, work loading, timekeeping and inspections under one roof.
• CleanGuru: centred on bidding and invoicing, with CleanQC handling inspections alongside.

Compared on the axes that matter

1. KleanProof

We built KleanProof around the part of quality control that usually breaks: what happens after the inspection. Every item is Pass, Fail or N/A, a photo is forced on every fail, and the failed items from one inspection become a single ticket with an owner, a due date and a review step. The front-line cleaner gets a link by email or text with the photo and the instruction, fixes it, photographs the fix, and a supervisor reviews it. None of that needs a seat, an app or a login. Cleaner fixes never self-close.

Pricing is public: $250 CAD a month for 2 supervisor seats, $500 for 10, $50 per additional seat, unlimited sites and inspections, and front-line cleaners always free. Those tiers deliberately match OrangeQC’s, because the comparison we want you making is the loop after the inspection, not the number on the invoice.

Where it is not the right pick: KleanProof is inspections and the ticket loop, not an all-in-one. If you need timekeeping, payroll or bidding in the same system, look at Janitorial Manager or CleanGuru instead.

2. Otuvy (formerly CleanTelligent)

CleanTelligent has been in janitorial quality control longer than almost anyone and now trades as Otuvy. Published pricing starts at $150 a month for QM Inspect with 5 users, unlimited service locations and unlimited inspections; QM Pro is $250 a month and adds work orders, job scheduling, QR code form capture and client portal access. Front-line task management is a separate add-on, Otuvy Frontline, at $50 a month plus $7 per user.

Consider it if you want a long-established name with a published entry price and unlimited locations on the base plan. Note that the pieces are modular: check which of work orders, dashboards and frontline access you actually need before comparing the headline number. More on the CleanTelligent rebrand.

3. Mitti by SafetyCulture

SafetyCulture’s inspection platform, the product long known as iAuditor, now goes to market as Mitti. It is the most widely used general inspection app in the world and the template library is enormous. Pricing is per seat: a free plan for up to 10 team members with 5 active templates, Premium at $29 per seat per month billed monthly or $24 billed annually, and Enterprise on a custom quote.

Consider it if cleaning is one of several things your company inspects. The trade-off for a cleaning contractor is structural: it has no native concept of a customer, a site contract or a cleaner who is not an employee, so the account model and the client-facing report are things you assemble yourself. We go deeper on that here.

4. GoAudits

GoAudits is a general inspection platform with a dedicated cleaning page, and it is the cheapest serious entry point on this list: $10 per user per month on the Starter plan billed annually, $30 per user per month for Enterprise, with a 14-day free trial and free checklist setup by their team.

Consider it if you need inspections and reports and nothing else, and your inspector count is small. The per-user model is the thing to model out. It works well at 3 inspectors and stops being cheap at 15.

5. Swept

Swept is janitorial workforce software first. Published plans start at $30 a month for Launch, $150 for Optimize and $225 for Scale, banded by number of locations, covering scheduling, GPS time tracking, messaging in over 100 languages, supply management and profitability reporting, with inspections included in the mix.

Consider it if your bleeding problem is knowing who showed up and communicating with a multilingual crew. If quality scoring and a client-facing proof trail are the actual goal, inspections are not the centre of this product.

6. Janitorial Manager

An all-in-one built for janitorial: quality checks, timekeeping, work loading and bidding, work orders, inventory and client communication. Pricing is not published. The site routes to a demo and a quote.

Consider it if you want to replace several systems at once and are comfortable with a sales-led buying process. Ask what the number is for your seat and location count before you get attached to the demo.

7. CleanGuru

CleanGuru is best known for CleanBid, its bidding tool, and bundles inspections as CleanQC alongside invoicing, checklists, scheduling and timekeeping. CleanQC supports offline inspections that sync when you are back online, customisable rating scales, score goals and emailed performance reviews. Pricing is behind a separate page and a 14-day free trial.

Consider it if you already bid with CleanBid. Note the customisable rating scale. It is flexible, but if you want one standard your supervisors cannot negotiate with, a fixed Pass / Fail / N/A is the stricter tool.

How to actually run the comparison

Do not compare feature lists. Take one real site, build its inspection in each of your two finalists, and run the same walk twice. Look at what came out the other end: could you send the result to your customer without editing it, did the failed items land on a named person with a date, and did anyone confirm the fix. Those three answers decide whether quality changes or you just end up with a new place to store the same problems. The reasoning behind that test is in the quality control system.
