OrangeQC review
OrangeQC is inspection and ticketing software for janitorial companies and in-house facility teams. It has been selling since 2009 and says customers have done over 10 million inspections on it. This review covers what it does well, where users push back, and what a cleaning company actually pays.
A note on who wrote this. We make KleanProof, which competes with OrangeQC, so read this with that in mind. We have kept to facts OrangeQC publishes itself plus what its users say on public review sites, and every source is linked at the bottom. Everything was checked on 12 October 2026.
What OrangeQC does
A supervisor opens a custom inspection form on a phone, scores each area, takes photos and collects a sign-off. The inspection is stamped with time and GPS. Failed items can become tickets, and tickets can also come in by email. Reports go out to clients automatically, and clients can be notified when work is done. OrangeQC also supports ATP testing and inspections built on the APPA and CIMS standards, which matters to schools, universities and contractors bidding on that kind of work. The app runs on iPhone, Android and the web.
The customer logos on its site include the University of Toronto, Johns Hopkins and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport. That is a serious client list for a product in this category.
What it does well
It works offline. Inspections and tickets can be completed with no signal and sync later. Anyone who has inspected a parkade knows how often that comes up.
The mobile app is well rated. On the App Store it sits at 4.7 stars from roughly 1,400 ratings, and it was updated on 5 October 2026, so it is actively maintained.
Non-inspectors are free. Admin users, ticket users and view-only users cost nothing on either plan. Clients and managers can see results without adding to the bill.
Reporting is quick. The handful of reviewers on G2 single out instant reporting and how easy it is to build a checklist.
Where users push back
OrangeQC has only 7 reviews on G2, averaging 4.7, so treat these as themes rather than a verdict. The complaints that repeat are price for smaller businesses, a limited set of integrations and advanced features, and some functions that are easier on the web than in the mobile app.
The price point is worth taking seriously. A company with two supervisors pays $250 a month on Starter before tax. Scheduling, ticket tasks and mobile ticket access for non-inspectors only come with Standard at $500. If you want cleaners checking off their own work, the Service Validation Module adds another $250 a month. The OrangeQC pricing breakdown works out the bill for common team sizes.

Who OrangeQC suits
It fits a mid-size or large cleaning company, or an in-house facilities department, that runs several supervisors, wants proven software with a long track record, and has clients who care about APPA or CIMS. It also suits teams whose buildings have bad signal. It is a harder sell for a small company with one or two supervisors watching every dollar, or for anyone who needs a named integration that OrangeQC does not offer.
How KleanProof differs
KleanProof is newer and smaller, and OrangeQC’s track record counts for something. Where we differ is the cleaner. When an item fails in KleanProof, a photo is required, and the deficiency goes straight to the cleaner who has to fix it by email or text, with no account and no app. They send back a photo of the fix, and the ticket stays open until a supervisor signs it off. Cleaners are free, with no module to add. Crew is $175 a month with 3 supervisor seats, Operation is $350 a month with 10, and extra seats are $35. Both have unlimited sites and 30 days free.

Common questions

Does OrangeQC work offline?
Yes. OrangeQC says inspections and tickets can be completed offline in the mobile app and sync when the device reconnects. That matters in basements, parkades and older buildings with poor signal.
What integrations does OrangeQC have?
OrangeQC describes its data as export friendly rather than listing named integrations on its home page, and limited integrations come up as a complaint in its G2 reviews. If you need a direct link to payroll, scheduling or a CMMS, ask OrangeQC about it during the trial.
What is a good alternative to OrangeQC?
It depends on what you want to change. Our OrangeQC alternatives page compares six tools side by side. KleanProof is one of them, built around sending each failed item to the cleaner who has to fix it, by link with no login, and keeping it open until a supervisor signs off the photo of the fix.
