Sweep & Go Alternatives for Pooper Scooper Businesses

Last updated November 5, 2026. Prices are from each company's public pricing page.

Sweep & Go is a capable, established pet waste platform. Most scoopers who look for an alternative have one of three reasons: the per-staff price, more features than they need, or the daily job cap on the entry plan.

What Sweep & Go costs

Sweep & Go prices every plan per active staff member per month. Any enabled user on your staff list counts, and the count is taken daily.

Card payments are processed through Stripe at 2.9% + 30¢. There's a 15-day trial and no long-term contract. (Source: Sweep & Go's public pricing page, November 2026.)

The 15-jobs-per-day cap matters. A full-time scooper often does 20–30 yards a day, so a solo operator who outgrows 15 stops is pushed onto a higher plan.

What it costs by team size

Using the lowest price on each Sweep & Go plan:

1. Pooper Scoop HQ: the closest like-for-like alternative

Pooper Scoop HQ (pooper-scoop.com) covers the core daily workflow of a scooping company:

• Recurring jobs: weekly, bi-weekly or custom frequency, with line items, notes, gate codes and locations. Unlimited jobs on every plan.
• Dispatch board: every technician's day in one calendar. Reassign stops when someone is out.
• Route optimization (Growth): map view, optimized stop order, and warnings for missing or duplicate addresses.
• Technician app: a phone-friendly daily schedule with directions, check-in/check-out and visit completion. It runs in the browser, so there's no app store install.
• Client portal: customers see visits, service history and invoices.
• Invoicing and online payments (Growth): itemized invoices, due dates, paid/finalized tracking, Stripe or Square.

What you give up compared with Sweep & Go: payroll calculations, franchise tools, the deep performance-report catalog and QuickBooks Online sync. If those are central to how you run, stay on Sweep & Go.

Switching: export your client list from Sweep & Go, add clients and their recurring jobs in Pooper Scoop HQ, and contact us if you'd like help with a large import.

2. Scoopilot

Scoopilot is another pet waste specialist. Pricing is tiered by user count: $10/month for one user, then $29, $59, $99 and $219 per month, with extra users at $12/month. It's cheaper than Sweep & Go for small teams, but recurring scheduling, route optimization and automatic billing are on paid tiers. Compare with Pooper Scoop HQ.

3. Jobber

Jobber is general field-service software, starting at $29/month billed annually. It's a fit if you also sell other home services. For a scooping-only business you'll be adapting a general tool to weekly yards. Compare with Pooper Scoop HQ.

4. Housecall Pro

Housecall Pro is a broad home-services platform from $59/month billed annually. It's generally more than a scooping company needs. Compare with Pooper Scoop HQ.

Who should stay on Sweep & Go

Stay on Sweep & Go if you run a large or franchise operation and you use its payroll, reporting, cross-sell and franchise features every week. Those features are real, and switching for price alone doesn't make sense if your operation depends on them.

If you mainly use Sweep & Go for recurring scheduling, routes, the tech app, the client portal and invoices, Pooper Scoop HQ does the same core jobs for a flat $9.99/month.
