Sweep&Go has been the default for pet-waste-removal software for a decade. Tidytail is built for the way owner-operators actually run the business in 2026 — mobile-first, modern billing, and a client portal homeowners will actually use.
We tried to be honest. Where Sweep&Go wins, we said so.

Tidytail ships a native iOS + Android field-tech app (Expo / React Native) with offline route caching, photo capture, GPS breadcrumbs, and one-tap on-the-way SMS. Sweep&Go's field experience is a responsive web view — works on a phone, but isn't designed for trucks-in-motion.
Tidytail's client portal is interactive — reschedule, pause for vacation, change card, message the business, see the next visit. Sweep&Go sends customers email invoices and stops there.
Every Tidytail-using business gets tidytail.app/p/your-business — homeowners check ZIP, pick a plan, and self-onboard with a card on file. It turns our marketing site into a lead funnel for yours. Sweep&Go requires you to build your own signup page.
Tidytail computes hourly or commission pay from real completed visits. Sweep&Go treats payroll as out-of-scope — you export visits to a spreadsheet.
Tidytail is a 2026 product — Next.js, Stripe Connect, mobile-native, accessible, fast. Sweep&Go's UI dates to the mid-2010s. That matters when you're showing the software to a new tech, a new office hire, or a homeowner.
Try Tidytail on your real schedule with your real clients before you put a card down. Sweep&Go is demo-first; you talk to sales before you see the product.
Years in market. Sweep&Go has been running scoop businesses for over a decade. They have battle scars, a deep feature backlog, and customers who have used the same workflow since 2014. Tidytail is newer. If you want a software vendor with a 10-year customer-success bench, Sweep&Go has it.
Industry trade-show presence. Sweep&Go sponsors the major pet-waste-removal industry events. Tidytail is a digital-first company; you'll find us online, not at conferences.
Specific niche features we don't have yet. Sweep&Go's backlog has the long tail of edge-case features that ten years of customer requests produce. We catch up fast; we don't claim to have everything they have.
Both companies publish per-user monthly pricing.
