SQUEEGIFY VS MANUAL QUOTING

Your time is too valuable to quote every straightforward house yourself.

The enquiry arrives at 8:47pm. You're halfway through a clean, or sitting down to dinner. Squeegify prices the straightforward ones instantly and flags the unusual ones for you.

From £14.99/mo · 7-day free trial · UK & Ireland

Keep pricing the tricky jobs. Let the simple ones quote themselves.

Different job. Different tool.

You don't need another giant operating system.

Squeegify

Wins the customer

Squeegify answers “how much?” the moment it's asked — an instant price from your rules, 24/7, with awkward jobs flagged for your review.

The old way

Quoting by hand means a call, a drive-by or a spreadsheet, hours after the enquiry — by which point the customer may have booked someone else.

Different job. Different tool.

The honest breakdown

Who does which job

Two tools, two jobs. We only compare what can be substantiated — and we mark where manual quoting simply takes a different approach rather than pretending it can't do something.

We describe manual quoting only by what it is publicly designed to do — quoting every enquiry yourself — by phone, drive-by or spreadsheet. Features change; check their site for the current picture. Squeegify works alongside other tools and does not claim a direct integration.

How it changes your day

  1. 1

    An enquiry comes in through your website at any hour.

  2. 2

    If it's straightforward, Squeegify prices it instantly from your rules.

  3. 3

    If it's unusual, it's flagged for you to price personally.

  4. 4

    Either way you get a qualified lead instead of a cold voicemail.

An honest recommendation

Which should you choose?

Squeegify wins through focus, not by pretending to do everything. Here's the straight version.

Keep quoting by hand if…

  • Every job you quote is unusual and genuinely needs a site visit.
  • You get very few website enquiries and enjoy handling each personally.
  • You price purely on judgement and don't want any automation.

Choose Squeegify if…

  • Most of your enquiries are ordinary houses you could price in your sleep.
  • Enquiries arrive when you're on the poles, driving, or off the clock.
  • You want to stop losing jobs to whoever replies first.
  • You'd still like to review the awkward ones — Squeegify flags those.

Use both if…

Squeegify handles the straightforward houses automatically and routes the unusual ones to you, so you only spend time on the quotes that actually need it.

Remove the waiting

Remove the waiting from getting a quote.

The enquiry arrives at 8:47pm. One of these paths keeps the customer. The other asks them to wait and hope you reply before the next cleaner does.

Pricing in context

Pay for the problem you actually need solved.

If you already have scheduling, invoicing and round management handled, you may not need to replace it just to improve website quoting. Add the missing layer instead.

Your time

No software cost — paid in evenings and lost enquiries instead

The real cost here is the evenings spent quoting and the enquiries that go cold while they wait.

Software products solve different problems. Features and competitor pricing change frequently — competitor pricing shown was checked October 2026 and is displayed in each provider's native currency. Always check each provider's current website before making a purchasing decision.

Straight answers

Manual quoting questions, answered honestly.

Won't automatic quoting get prices wrong?

It prices from your own rules, shows the customer a window count to confirm, and flags low-confidence or out-of-area jobs for your review instead of guessing.

I like quoting in person. Do I have to stop?

No. Keep pricing the jobs that need a visit. Squeegify just takes the straightforward houses off your plate so your evenings are freer.

What does it cost compared to doing it myself?

Plans start at £14.99/mo excluding VAT, with a 7-day free trial. The honest comparison is that against the hours you spend hand-quoting and the enquiries that go cold while they wait.
