BookingKoala sets the bar for what a cleaning customer should see when they book. This page is about what happens behind that booking form as you grow.
Last checked 17 September 2026
BookingKoala gives a new cleaning business a branded website and booking flow quickly, with service selection, extras, recurring bookings and provider assignment. Plans run from $27 to $197 a month and are capped by provider count.
Crayon covers the same operational ground and changes shape on request. The booking experience matters, and so does everything that happens after the booking, which is where a fixed product starts costing you staff time.
THE DIFFERENCE
Every product on this page is a fixed shape. Where it matches how you work, it works well. Where it does not, you change how you work, pay a developer, or bolt on another tool. Crayon is the proven core for bookings, customers and payments, and the AI changes it when you ask. Rename what things are called. Add the field every job has to carry. Change what a button says.

OUTGROWING IT
The booking form is rarely the thing that breaks. It is everything downstream of it.
Crayon keeps the part BookingKoala gets right, a real booking experience under your own brand, and removes the part that stops. When the model does not match your business, you ask for the change instead of filing a request.
