Finish the clean. Text one link. Get paid in her app.
SnapPaid is the invoice app for house cleaners who work alone. Your client pays you in Venmo, Cash App, PayPal or Zelle. SnapPaid takes 0%.
Payment apps move money, but they send no bill and keep no record. Business software does it all, for a team, starting at $49 a month for Jobber's first plan billed monthly. SnapPaid does the four steps one cleaner needs: snap the finished room, text one link, she pays in the app she already uses, and the record stays.
Why not just Venmo, or just Jobber?
Most solo cleaners sit between two kinds of tools. Payment apps are free and familiar, but a Venmo request is a name and a number. There is no bill to point to, no reminder, and no record of which clean it was for. Business software sends bills and reminders, but it is built to schedule crews, and its price shows it.

How it works
- 1Finish and snapTake a photo or video of the finished room in SnapPaid. It is stamped with the time, plus the place when location is on, and sealed at capture.
- 2Text one linkThe bill goes out from your own number as you pack up. Nothing for her to download.
- 3She pays in her appVenmo, Cash App or PayPal open from a button. For Zelle, she copies your Zelle email or number into her bank app. The money goes straight to you.
- 4The record staysEvery clean is kept with its photo, marked paid or open, per client.
Sound familiar?
"I'll Venmo you later," and she forgets.
Send the bill at the door, with the photo and one link, so "later" has a reminder attached. If she has not paid by day 3, SnapPaid asks you "Did she pay?" and one tap sends a nudge from your phone. What to text, day by day
You hate asking for money in person.
Then don't. Text the bill as you leave. It names the clean, shows the finished room and carries the link, so the ask is already made, politely, in writing. Get paid the same day
You already take photos, then text for payment separately.
That is two messages and two chances to be ignored. In SnapPaid the photo is the bill: one text, the finished room on top, the pay buttons underneath.
You want to look more professional than a Venmo request.
Your logo and business name go on every bill, receipt and pay page. The client sees what she is paying for, not just a handle.
Nobody is home when you clean.
The photo shows the room as you left it, with the time on it. She sees it when she gets home, and pays from the same text.
What SnapPaid does not do
- It does not take card payments or hold your money.
- It does not text your clients by itself or charge them automatically. It reminds you, and you send the nudge.
- It does not schedule cleans, manage a team, make estimates or produce tax reports.
If you need those, a business tool such as Jobber or ZenMaid may suit you better. Compare them honestly
