For a cleaning business the website builder matters less than three features: a booking form or button, click-to-call with a service-area block, and a price that stays low after year one. As of October 23, 2026, Hostinger is the cheapest credible site at $2.49 a month on a 48-month term paid up front (a sale price, renewing at $10.99 a month), Wix is the easiest booking embed, and Wix or Squarespace are the ones to grow into.

This comparison is for solo cleaners and small crews who want a one-page or five-page site with a booking form and a phone number, and no coding. It covers Hostinger’s builder, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, and Carrd as the near-free contrast, with prices from each vendor’s own pages, and it ends with how each cleaning scheduling tool’s booking form goes onto each builder. If you are still deciding whether to build a site at all, start with does a cleaning business need a website.

What matters in a website builder for a cleaning business?

A cleaning business website has three jobs: let a visitor book or contact you in one tap, show a starting price or a range, and show proof in the form of reviews, service area, and photos. A builder that makes those three easy on a phone screen is the right builder.

What does not matter: e-commerce, memberships, blogs, email marketing suites, and the storage and bandwidth numbers builders compete on. You are not selling products, and a five-page site uses almost no storage. Ignore those columns and do not pay for the plan tier that unlocks them.

What matters more than any feature is the renewal price. Every builder here quotes a first-term price; the price you will actually pay for years is the one after it. The table below shows both where the vendor states both.

Spend on the site in proportion to what a client is worth: the Client Value Calculator puts a number on one recurring client, which tells you whether a $3 or a $30 a month plan is the right size.

Hostinger builder

Who it is for: the solo cleaner who wants the cheapest site that still has a custom domain and does not look free.

Pricing: as of October 23, 2026, Hostinger’s Premium plan is $2.49 a month on a 48-month term ($119.52 paid up front, shown as a sale price), renewing at $10.99 a month, with a free domain for one year, SSL, up to three websites, a 14-day free trial, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Unlimited is $3.49 a month on the same term, renewing at $16.99. The 48-month term is the catch: you pay years up front to get the low number.

Strengths: price, a free first-year domain, and templates that already have a phone number and a form near the top. Hostinger’s page mentions appointment booking options for service sites, though its help center says taking appointments needs Hostinger Ecommerce, a separate subscription.

Limitations: the cheapest plan is a long commitment, and the renewal is more than four times the introductory price. Hostinger’s help center documents an Embed code element that takes HTML or iframe code, so a cleaning tool’s booking form goes in the same way as on any HTML block; a button to your hosted booking page works regardless.

Verdict: the cheapest credible site if you are comfortable paying the term up front. Link to your booking page rather than depending on an embed until you have confirmed the code block works.

Wix

Who it is for: the owner who wants an embedded booking form with the least fiddling, and room to add pages.

Pricing: as of October 23, 2026, Light is $17.77 a month billed yearly, Core $29.77, Business $39.77, and Business Elite $159.77, each with a free domain voucher for one year on yearly or multi-year plans (first purchase only). A Free plan exists on a wixsite.com address with Wix branding and no custom domain. Wix states that you must upgrade to take bookings through Wix Bookings, and its plan cards list scheduling and payments on Core and up, not Light; a free site can display services without taking bookings.

Strengths: Jobber publishes a Wix plugin that drops its request and booking forms onto a Wix page, and every other tool’s embed code, including ZenMaid’s basic install, goes into an Embed HTML element. Wix’s editor is forgiving on a phone layout.

Limitations: the yearly prices are among the highest of the DIY builders here, and monthly billing costs more. Wix Bookings itself is a general appointment tool, not a cleaning booking form; use your scheduling software’s form instead.

Verdict: the easiest booking embed and the safest choice to grow into, at a higher monthly price than Hostinger.

Squarespace

Who it is for: the owner who wants a polished five-page site and expects to add pages per service and per town.

Pricing: as of October 23, 2026, Squarespace’s Basic plan is $19 a month billed annually ($25 month to month), Core $29 ($39), Plus $49 ($65), and Advanced $99 ($139), with a 14-day free trial and a free custom domain for one year on annual plans. Squarespace advertises up to 36% off for paying annually; its listed prices work out to savings of 24% to 29%.

Strengths: form blocks on every plan, SSL on every plan, and templates that look established with little effort. The code block that takes iframes and JavaScript, which most booking embeds need, starts at Core.

Limitations: Basic’s code block takes HTML and CSS but not iframes or JavaScript, so an embedded booking form needs Core; on Basic, a button to your hosted booking page is the route. ZenMaid states its advanced install does not work on Squarespace, so use ZenMaid’s basic iframe install there. Squarespace’s own scheduling product, Acuity, is a separate subscription and is not a cleaning booking form.

Verdict: one good option among several, best when you want the site to look like an agency built it and you will use Core.

GoDaddy builder

Who it is for: the owner who already bought a domain and email from GoDaddy and wants everything in one account.

Pricing: GoDaddy’s own cost guide, dated February 27, 2026 and updated October 20, 2026, puts its Website Builder at $9.99 to $20.99 and up a month, with SSL and a professional email address included. GoDaddy’s March 9, 2026 comparison post lists introductory prices on annual billing of $9.99 (Basic), $15.99 (Premium), and $20.99 (Commerce) a month, with Premium renewing at $39.99 a month, and GoDaddy’s site advertises a free domain with annual plans. GoDaddy’s plan page could not be read when we checked, so confirm current terms there before you buy.

Strengths: one login for domain, email, and site, and a custom HTML section for embeds.

Limitations: the pricing is less transparent than the others in this comparison, GoDaddy’s own post shows Premium renewing at about two and a half times its introductory price, and ZenMaid’s advanced install does not work on GoDaddy, so its basic install is the route.

Verdict: fine if you are already there; not the reason to pick a builder.

Carrd and Google Sites: the free and near-free contrast

Carrd builds one-page sites, free for up to three sites without a custom domain, and $19 a year for Pro Standard, which adds custom domains with SSL, forms, embedded widgets, and removes the Carrd footer (the $9 Pro Lite plan removes the footer but has no custom domain, forms, or embeds). For a solo cleaner, one page with a starting price, three reviews, a service area, a phone number, and a button to a hosted booking page is a complete website, and Pro Standard costs less than one visit. The limit is the format: one page per site, so a crew that wants a page per service will outgrow it.

Google Sites is free with a Google account, connects your own domain, and has an embed block for code. It looks like what it is, a free tool, and it has no booking features of its own. It is the fallback when the budget is zero and a Google Business Profile plus a hosted booking page is not quite enough. The free software guide covers the rest of a zero-cost stack.

How do you add your booking software’s form to each builder?

Every cleaning scheduling tool on this site gives you two things: a hosted booking page you can link to from any builder with a button, and an embed code you can paste into a page (on ZenMaid, booking forms start on the Pro plan). The button always works. The embed needs a custom code or HTML block, which is why the plan tier matters on Squarespace. What each vendor’s help center says, as of October 23, 2026:

  • BookingKoala: copy the iframe code from inside BookingKoala (Settings, then Design Forms & Website, then Embed Forms) and paste it into a page on your existing builder; BookingKoala’s campaign-form help names WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Weebly, and Shopify, and on BookingKoala’s own website builder the code goes into a Custom Code element. BookingKoala also includes its own website and theme builder, which the how to get a website guide covers as a route that skips a separate builder.
  • ZenMaid: a basic install (paste the iframe code on your booking page), an advanced install with pop-ups and a responsive container, a direct link to the ZenMaid-hosted form, and a Book Now button. ZenMaid states the advanced install does not work on Squarespace, Wix, or GoDaddy and to use the basic install there.
  • Maidily: Maidily’s online booking page states customers can book from a form hosted on Maidily’s site or embedded in your existing website. The hosted form starts on the Start plan, and Maidily does not state which plan the embed needs (its pricing table lists custom website integration on Scale), so confirm before you plan around it; a button to the hosted form works either way. Since September 2026, Maidily’s paid plans also include Maidily Sites, a website built from your Maidily services and prices.
  • Jobber: a link to share anywhere, a button, an HTML embed code, a WordPress plugin, and a Wix plugin, with request forms and online booking on every current plan.
  • Zenbooker: under Online Booking, choose Embed your booking form, pick a widget type, customize it, and click Generate Code to copy the embed code for your site.

The detailed steps for each route, and what to put on the page around the form, are in how to add a booking form to your cleaning website. The online booking guide covers what to let customers book and how to set availability, and the scheduling software guide compares the tools themselves.

Key takeaways

  • The builder matters less than three features: a booking form or button, click-to-call with a service area, and a price that stays low at renewal.
  • As of October 23, 2026, Hostinger is the cheapest credible site at $2.49 a month on a 48-month term paid up front (a sale price, renewing at $10.99), Carrd Pro Standard is $19 a year for one page, and Wix and Squarespace are the ones to grow into.
  • Wix is the easiest booking embed thanks to Jobber’s plugin and its Embed HTML element; on Squarespace, embeds need Core.
  • Every cleaning scheduling tool gives you a hosted booking page and an embed code; when an embed does not work on a builder, a button to the hosted page does.
  • This comparison quotes Squarespace’s pricing page as of October 23, 2026; GoDaddy’s plan pages could not be read, so its figures come from GoDaddy’s own blog posts and carry their dates.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest way to get a cleaning business website?

As of October 23, 2026, a Carrd Pro Standard one-page site at $19 a year plus a domain, or Hostinger's builder at $2.49 a month on a 48-month term paid up front ($119.52, shown as a sale price) with the first year of the domain free. Both give you a custom domain, SSL, and room for a booking button. The catch on Hostinger is the $10.99 a month renewal; the catch on Carrd is one page, fine for a solo cleaner and tight for a crew.

Do website builders include a domain?

Usually for the first year on an annual or long-term plan, then you pay the renewal. As of October 23, 2026, Hostinger (on its 48-month plans), Wix (on yearly or multi-year plans, first purchase only), and Squarespace (on annual plans) each state a free domain for one year, and GoDaddy's site advertises a free domain with annual plans; Carrd Pro Standard lets you connect a domain you buy elsewhere. Buy the domain in your own name and keep the login, because the domain is the one thing you must be able to take with you if you ever change builders.

Can I embed my booking form on any builder?

Nearly. BookingKoala, ZenMaid, Maidily, Zenbooker, and Jobber each give you an embed code or a link, and every builder in this comparison accepts a link or button. Embedding the form on the page needs a code or HTML block that accepts iframes or scripts, which Wix's Embed HTML element and Squarespace's Core plan and up provide (Squarespace Basic's code block takes HTML and CSS only); ZenMaid notes its advanced install does not work on Squarespace, Wix, or GoDaddy, so use its basic install there. When embedding fails, a button to the hosted page always works.

Is WordPress better for a cleaning business?

Only if you already know it or want to learn it. WordPress on a hosting plan gives you the most control and the widest range of booking plugins, and Jobber even ships a WordPress plugin for its forms. The cost is upkeep: updates, backups, and a theme to maintain. A builder does that for you. For a five-page cleaning site with a booking form, the builders in this comparison do the job with less to break.

How long does it take to build a cleaning business site?

An evening or two for a one-page or five-page site on a builder, if you have the words and photos ready before you start. The time goes into writing what a clean includes, your service area, a starting price, and three quoted reviews, not into the builder. Draft those in a notes app first, then pick a template with a booking button near the top and fill it in. The how-to-get-a-website guide has the order to do it in.
