Book Your Cleaning in 60 Seconds. A Booking App That Wins Jobs While You Sleep
Sunday, 8:52 pm. A woman in Tampa with a golden retriever (shedding like it’s her job) texts three cleaning companies.
Company A answers Monday at 10. Company B writes back, “Can you call us?” She can’t. She’s in bed. Company C sent her a link.
By 8:55 she was booked, with a $25 deposit paid. Company A never found out it lost. That part still bugs me.
I build booking pages for cleaning businesses, and here’s the whole thing, line by line.
Before
“Hi! Thanks so much for reaching out. How many bedrooms? Any pets? What’s your address? I’ll get back to you with a quote!”
That quote shows up tomorrow. Tomorrow she’s already hired someone else.
After
She types her address. She picks how big the place is and whether it needs a standard clean, a deep clean, or a move-out clean. A price shows up on the screen. She taps “weekly” and the number changes. She adds the inside of the oven and it changes again. Nobody had to be awake for any of it.
If her ZIP code is outside your area, the page tells her right away, before either of you wastes a minute. Then she sees real time slots that fit how long her job actually takes. Not “sometime Thursday.” A slot.
Then the $25 deposit, which comes off her final bill.
The whole thing takes about a minute. I timed it on my sister, who hates apps.
Here’s the take that annoys people, stop trying to answer faster. You can’t beat a person who is asleep on Sunday night, and neither can I. Let the page do the answering and go clean something.
One more thing. Everyone assumes the deposit is $25 so you can feel safer about no-shows. That’s part of it. The real reason is a lot weirder, and it came from a mistake I made with a Thursday 2 pm slot. I’ll tell you if you guess, or if you just ask.
Want this with your own prices, ZIP codes, add-ons, logo, and open hours? Message me here on Contra with your business name and I’ll build you a sample with your details in it.

Ripple: book an Influencer the way you'd book a hotel 💧
Working with Influencer is still messy: DMs that go nowhere, rates you have to chase, contracts over email, and paying upfront with no guarantee.
Ripple puts the whole deal in one place:
• Discover Influencers matched to your Brand campaign, with real stats and a clear rate card
• Send a request and negotiate terms in chat
• Approve a proposal that both sides can see, line by line
• Sign once and it's binding for both sides
• Pay by phase, held in escrow until the work is approved
From "who should we work with?" to "booked" in minutes.

This is such a needed concept, Praveen! 👏 The influencer booking process is honestly a nightmare right now. Love how you simplified it like booking a hotel - super clear positioning. The design in the video looks clean too! 💧
This UI was really great nice job Piotr🔥🔥🔥
