Swept alternatives for cleaning inspections
Swept is good software for running a janitorial workforce. Most companies that go looking for an alternative have a different problem: an account is slipping on standards and they have no scored record of what the crew missed. Below is what Swept charges and which plan inspections start on, followed by five tools built with inspections at the centre.
We build one of the products on this page, so read the comparison with that in mind. Swept’s figures were read off its own pricing page on 28 September 2026, and the other vendors’ figures come from their own pages, all listed at the bottom. Where a vendor does not publish something, this page says so.
What Swept is built for
Swept started as janitorial workforce software. Every plan includes scheduling and time tracking, translation into more than 100 languages, and a Spanish version of the app. For an owner whose crews rotate between buildings at night and who cannot tell which cleaner was where on Thursday, that is the right purchase, and an inspection app of any kind would not solve it.
Pricing is by location band. All three plans start at 15 locations. Launch starts at $30 a month, Optimize at $150 and Scale at $225, with 20 percent off for annual billing, and the monthly figure climbs as you move into bigger location bands. Swept does not publish trial terms on the pricing page.
Where quality control sits in the plan list
Inspections are listed from Optimize up. Checklists, the client portal and work orders arrive on Scale. So a company buying Swept to prove quality to a customer is comparing the Scale plan, priced for its location count, against the tools below. The $30 headline belongs to the scheduling product.
The gap that pushes people to look elsewhere is structure. A janitorial inspection that holds up in a renewal meeting needs a fixed rating on every line with a photo on each failure, plus a trail from the failed item to a verified fix. When those are secondary features of a workforce tool, supervisors fill them in loosely and the record stops being worth showing anyone.
Five alternatives, in one line each
- KleanProof: commercial cleaning inspections only, with Pass, Fail or N/A on every line, a photo forced on each fail, one ticket per inspection, and cleaners who fix and prove work through a link without a seat or a login.
- Otuvy (formerly CleanTelligent): janitorial QC with published tiers, from $150 a month for 5 users.
- OrangeQC: janitorial inspections with free ticket and view-only users, from $250 a month for 2 inspectors.
- GoAudits: a general inspection app at $10 to $30 per user per month.
- Mitti by SafetyCulture: inspections across any industry, with a free plan for up to 10 members.

1. KleanProof
Built for commercial cleaning inspections and nothing else, with an inspector app on the App Store and Google Play and a web side for the office. Every line is scored Pass, Fail or N/A, and a failed line cannot be submitted without a photo. Failed items group into one ticket per inspection with an owner and a due date, and a supervisor reviews the fix photo before anything closes.
Cleaners never get a seat. They receive the deficiency by email or text, open it without logging in, fix it and photograph the fix. Pricing is $250 CAD or $175 USD a month for the Crew plan with 2 supervisor seats, and $500 CAD or $350 USD for Operation with 10. Sites are unlimited on both. Honest limits: we do no scheduling, time tracking or payroll, so a company that needs those keeps a workforce tool alongside us. We are also newer than everyone else in the table.
2. Otuvy, formerly CleanTelligent
The longest-running name in janitorial quality control. QM Inspect is $150 a month for 5 users with unlimited locations and inspections, and QM Pro at $250 adds work orders, job scheduling and client portal access. Frontline access is an add-on at $50 a month plus $7 per user. It is the closest single product to what Swept Scale plus an inspection tool would give you. The full breakdown is on our CleanTelligent alternatives page.
3. OrangeQC
Janitorial inspections specifically. Starter is $250 a month with 2 inspectors and Standard is $500 with 10, with ticket and view-only users free on both. Inspection scheduling and ticket tasks sit on Standard. There is a 30 day trial with no card. Our OrangeQC pricing page walks through what each tier includes.
4. GoAudits
A general inspection app with a cleaning page. Starter is $10 per user per month and caps you at 25 locations and 10 templates; Enterprise at $30 adds scheduling, roles and advanced reporting. Cheap to start, and the per-user model decides who you can afford to put on it. See GoAudits alternatives for the full comparison.
5. Mitti by SafetyCulture
Formerly iAuditor. A free plan for up to 10 members, then Premium at $24 to $29 per seat per month. Choose it when cleaning is one of several things your company inspects. Operators who run it on janitorial contracts report that a general tool takes work to bend into cleaning structure.
How to decide between Swept and an inspection tool
Write down the last three complaints a customer sent you. If they were about a cleaner who did not show up or a shift that ran short, your problem is workforce, and Swept is built for it. If they were about a restroom, a lobby or a stairwell that was done badly, your problem is quality, and you need a scored inspection with a photo on every miss.
A company with both problems can run both tools. Price Swept Launch with a dedicated inspection tool next to Swept Scale on its own, at your real location count. The janitorial inspection software comparison lays out every vendor’s published price in one table.

Figures read off sweptworks.com/pricing on 2026-09-28.
Does Swept include inspections?
Inspections are listed from the Optimize plan up, and checklists, the client portal and work orders arrive on Scale. The entry Launch plan covers scheduling, time tracking and crew communication. If quality control is the reason you are buying, price Optimize or Scale for your real location count before comparing.
Why do cleaning companies look for a Swept alternative?
Usually because the problem they need solved is quality, and Swept is built around the workforce side of the business. Its strengths are knowing who worked where and messaging a crew that speaks several languages. Companies whose accounts are slipping on standards want structured Pass or Fail scoring with a photo attached to each failure, in a record they can show the customer, and they go looking for a tool built around that.
Can I use Swept and an inspection app together?
Yes, and plenty of companies do. Keep Swept on the Launch plan for scheduling and time tracking, and run inspections and deficiency tickets in a dedicated quality tool. The cost comparison then becomes Launch plus the inspection tool against Optimize or Scale on its own.
Which Swept alternative is best for inspections?
For janitorial inspections where every failed item becomes a tracked ticket and cleaners fix and prove work without a seat, KleanProof. For the longest-running janitorial QC vendor, Otuvy. For janitorial inspections with free ticket users, OrangeQC. For a low per-user entry price on general inspections, GoAudits. For inspections across a whole company, Mitti by SafetyCulture.
