Start with the kind of clean
A weekly tidy, a one-off home clean and post-renovation cleaning are different jobs. An hourly starting rate does not tell you whether equipment, specialist products or enough time for your home are included. Give each company the same room count, tasks and preferred date.
Published prices, with their conditions
These examples were checked on 15 September 2026 unless noted. They are starting prices, not a quotation for your home.
| Service | Published starting price | Conditions to check |
|---|---|---|
| Helpling recurring home cleaning | S$21 per hour | Its pricing page also lists a S$3.90 platform fee per booking and applicable day surcharges. |
| Helpling one-off home cleaning | S$24 per hour | Check the booking total, available duration and extra charges. |
| Luce same-day or next-day one-off cleaning | S$17.44 per hour, including GST | The advertised offer applies to online bookings for those dates. Its regular one-time rate is listed as S$27.25 per hour including GST. |
| Whissh deep clean | from S$348 for roughly 1,000 sq ft (checked 14 Sep 2026) | Package price, not hourly; confirm the sq ft band your home falls into. |
| Nimbus Homes housekeeping | from S$16 per hour; S$300 for a 3-hour deep clean (checked 14 Sep 2026) | Confirm which of the two pricing models applies to your booking. |

Meide and Domestic One publish no price on the pages checked (checked 14 Sep 2026); both run a quote-first booking form, so no starting figure is available for either. Check the current Helpling price page, Luce home-cleaning page, Whissh rate page, Nimbus Homes page and Butler Housekeeping rate page, then compare the final checkout totals for the same date and duration. A conditional last-minute price should not be compared as if it were an unrestricted recurring rate.
Compare what happens after booking
Ask who supplies the cleaner, whether the same person can return, and what happens if someone is unavailable. Check cancellation deadlines, refunds, minimum hours and whether supplies are included. For any advertised insurance or guarantee, read the cover and exclusions.
Use ratings as supporting evidence
Look at the number, date and relevance of reviews. A company's overall rating may cover services other than home cleaning. It cannot establish who will attend your booking or guarantee the result.
You can also compare cleaning companies directly. Keep the scope identical across both routes before choosing on price or convenience.
