Scrubix

Scrubix brings jobsheets, customer records, invoicing, reminders, staff tracking, messaging and payment collection into one app for UK service businesses. Teams can assign round jobs, view jobs on maps, set route order and optimize routes, then follow work through a completion pipeline. Users can create and send quote and invoice PDFs, apply email templates and branding, and manage overdue payments and reminders. Messaging workflows include email threads, SMS history, templates and attachments. Payment features connect Stripe Direct Debit accounts, send mandate invitations individually or in bulk, and provide invoice payment links with payment-status updates. Listed payment options include Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Klarna and Clearpay; Klarna and Clearpay are available at eligible checkouts. Finance tools include bank CSV import and export, transaction import, reconciliation and an accounting summary. Staff location features include a live map and recent history. The free plan includes core app features, unlimited customers and team users. SMS credits cost £3.55 per once; an optional dedicated UK number costs £9.99 per month.

Scrubix covers job scheduling, customer communications, payments and finance workflows for service teams. The core app is free, with separate charges for SMS credits and an optional dedicated number.

Scrubix is aimed at repeat-service businesses such as window cleaners, gardeners, cleaners, pressure-washing teams and mobile valeters. It may suit operators managing assigned jobs, invoices, staff and customer communications.

Scrubix is a field-service app for UK businesses managing recurring customer work, from window cleaning and gardening to pest control and mobile valeting. It is best suited to teams that need jobs, customer messages, invoices and payment collection in one workflow. Its free core app is a compelling starting point, with SMS and a dedicated number as separate costs.

Overview

Scrubix connects recurring jobs with customer records, staff coordination, quotes, invoices and payment collection. That breadth makes it a practical fit for repeat-service operators who want office and field work handled in the same system. Recurring jobs, an estimate builder, crew management and a mobile field app support that use case; the main caveat is that text messaging carries additional charges.

Key features

Jobs, routes and staff

Assigned round jobs, job maps with route-order controls, route optimisation and a completion pipeline help teams organise visits from assignment through completion. The live staff-location map and recent location history can assist with field coordination, and staff can access the app without an additional seat charge. These tools are particularly relevant to crews working across multiple customer locations; businesses that do not need route or staff coordination may find this breadth unnecessary.

Quotes, invoices and payments

Scrubix can create and send quote and invoice PDFs, with branding, email templates and workflows for overdue accounts and reminders. Invoice payment links and Stripe Direct Debit account connection, including single or bulk mandate invitations, give businesses several ways to collect payment. The maker lists Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Klarna and Clearpay; Klarna and Clearpay depend on an eligible checkout.

Customer communication and finance

Email threads, SMS history, inbox workflows, templates, reminders and attachments keep customer correspondence alongside operational work. Email sending is free, but SMS credits are charged as texts are sent, so frequent texting adds a variable cost. A dedicated UK SMS number is another optional monthly charge. Finance tools include bank CSV import and export, transaction import, reconciliation, a review workspace and an accounting summary panel.

Biometric lock options, two-step authentication and role-based access controls address account security, while customer contact preferences and messaging opt-outs support communication management. Bulk customer campaigns, a self-service portal, advanced analytics dashboards and custom automation rules are marked as planned; businesses that need those capabilities now should look elsewhere.

Pricing

The Scrubix App costs nothing. It includes core app features, unlimited customers and team users, making it the most attractive option for a service business that wants broad job and customer workflows without a recurring app subscription. The free plan's main cost caveat is messaging rather than seats: email is free, while texts are charged separately.

SMS credits cost £3.55, paid once, billed as needed when texts are sent. A Dedicated SMS Number costs £9.99 a month and provides an optional dedicated UK number for customer texts and inbound replies. These charges let businesses add texting only if they need it, but frequent SMS use can make the ongoing messaging cost less predictable. Scrubix also advertises paid plans from £9.99/mo; the dedicated-number price is separately stated at £9.99 a month.

Platforms

Scrubix is available on Android, iOS and the web, giving office users a browser option alongside mobile access for field teams.

Who it's for

Scrubix is a strong match for small and growing repeat-service businesses that coordinate regular visits, manage crews and want quotes, invoices and payment collection connected to customer records. Its stated audience spans window cleaners, gardeners, domestic and commercial cleaners, gutter cleaners, pressure-washing teams, carpet cleaners, pest-control businesses and mobile valeters. It is less suitable for businesses whose current requirements depend on a customer portal, campaign tools, advanced analytics or custom automation.

Pros and cons

Pros

• No app subscription for the core plan: unlimited customers and included team users make it viable for teams that would otherwise face per-seat costs.
• Connected field and office workflows: route tools, staff location, customer messaging, invoicing and payment collection cover much of the repeat-job lifecycle.
• Several payment routes: Direct Debit, invoice links and card or wallet options can suit different customer preferences.

Cons

• SMS is not included: credits are charged when texts are sent, and a dedicated number costs £9.99 a month.
• Some higher-level tools are still planned: teams needing a portal, bulk campaigns, advanced dashboards or custom automation cannot rely on them as current capabilities.

Alternatives

Window Cleaning Software is a useful starting point for comparing options focused on that trade. Fieseros may suit a business wanting a free plan capped at 100 lifetime jobs, with leads, quotes, a basic calendar, invoices and payments. NSuite Solo is an alternative for solo operators who can work within a 25-client limit and want appointment scheduling, inventory tracking and invoice collection.

RoundRun is another option for eligible UK window-cleaning businesses: its free beta is limited to the first 50 businesses, with team features during beta. Work Planner may fit a smaller operation that can stay within 20 jobs, one user and one business on its free plan, or a single-user business prepared to pay £15 a month for Essential. WorkBee offers a free tier capped at 10 jobs per month and one engineer, with basic invoicing.

Blueworks CRM is built by a company for its own window-cleaning crews. SquadwareOne is another paid option for Android, iOS and web. Squeegee is a freemium alternative available across Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows.

Verdict

Choose Scrubix if you run a repeat-service team and want a broad set of job, customer, staff, invoicing and payment workflows without paying an app subscription or per-seat fee. Its central strength is that operational breadth on the free core plan. Look elsewhere if SMS costs are unacceptable or your business needs a customer portal, advanced analytics or custom automation today.
