BookingKoala is booking-and-scheduling software for cleaning and other service businesses, with published pricing from $27/mo (5 providers) to $197/mo (50 providers), then custom pricing from $237–$597/mo past that. Anvil OS runs the same booking-to-invoice flow plus the field operations BookingKoala's plans don't cover — dispatch, inventory, an AI co-pilot — with unlimited crew users on every plan. Here is an honest side-by-side.

Published pricing and documented differences — nothing more.
| BookingKoala | Anvil OS | |
|---|---|---|
| Published pricing | Starter $27/mo (5 providers or 5 GB storage), Growing $57/mo (15 providers/15 GB), Premium $197/mo (50 providers/50 GB); larger accounts run $237–$597/mo by provider count and contact volume. | Flat plans $0–$299/mo (Free $0 · Solo $39 · Starter $99 · Pro $199 · Premium $299). Free tier included. Every plan includes unlimited crew users — no per-user fees. |
| Adding providers | Plans are capped by provider count (5/15/50) or storage; adding staff past the cap means upgrading a tier. | Unlimited crew users on every plan, including Free. Admin seats scale with the tier — never a per-user fee. |
| Trade fit | Multi-vertical booking software — cleaning, pet sitting, tutoring, personal training — one booking engine for many service types, not a cleaning-specific pricebook. | Vertical-specific pricebooks out of the box — carpet & rug cleaning, cleaning, landscaping, pressure washing, pest control, pool service, and construction — priced the way each trade actually bids. |
| AI | No AI-powered feature listed on their published features or pricing pages. | AI co-pilot included in the Pro plan ($199/mo) — not a separate add-on fee. |
| White-label branding | Removing "Powered by BookingKoala" branding requires the Growing plan ($57/mo) or above. | White-label branding available on the Scale plan. |
| Scheduling & dispatch | Smart scheduling and booking forms on every plan; GPS clock-in/out starts on the Growing plan. | Scheduling & calendar on every plan, including Free. Dispatch board from Starter, route optimization from Pro, AI crew load scoring from Premium. |
| Invoicing & payments | Booking forms handle payment collection on every plan; SMS notifications start on the Growing plan. | Invoicing on every plan, including Free — send an invoice and take online payment (Stripe/Square) from day one. Card-on-file and autopay from Solo. |
| Client portal | Customer account dashboard included on every plan. | Client portal on every plan, including Free — clients see their quotes, invoices, and job status, and pay online. |
| Review automation | A referral and rating system starts on the Growing plan. | Post-job review requests with one-tap star ratings built in, plus Google review automation with AI-drafted replies (always operator-approved) from Pro. |
| Inventory & equipment | Not listed on their published features page. | Inventory from Starter — stock levels, low-stock alerts, and chemical mixing charts with printable QR cards — plus fleet meters, preventive maintenance, and work orders. |
