TidyTrack vs OpenWrench
OpenWrench is for repairs: something breaks, a vendor is dispatched, the work is approved and the invoice paid. TidyTrack is for cleaning: proof that each area was cleaned, when, and by whom. Many chains need both.

- Alerts when a clean is missed, before a customer notices

OpenWrench
Quote-based, per location per month
- No vendor fees and no mandatory setup fee, according to OpenWrench
- The savings calculator on OpenWrench’s own website uses an illustrative example of $2,500 a month for 100 locations
- Prices for fewer locations are not published
At 100 locations, OpenWrench’s own example is $2,500 a month; TidyTrack Business is $149 a month with no site limit. OpenWrench covers repairs, vendors and spend that TidyTrack does not, so the two figures pay for different work.
Questions
Is TidyTrack a replacement for OpenWrench?
No. OpenWrench is maintenance software for dispatching repairs to outside trades, approving the work and paying the invoice. TidyTrack does not do vendor dispatch, assets, RFPs or invoice approval. It records routine cleaning, the work that happens many times a day without a ticket.
Can I run both?
Yes. Use OpenWrench when something breaks and a vendor has to fix it. Use TidyTrack to show each area was cleaned on schedule. There is no integration between the two today, so each keeps its own records.
OpenWrench has cleanliness inspections. Why add TidyTrack?
An inspection gives you a score once a visit. TidyTrack gives you a timestamp for every clean, by the person who did it, and alerts you when one is missed between inspections.
I am a cleaning contractor and my client uses OpenWrench. Do I need TidyTrack?
Your client may send work orders through OpenWrench, but the nightly route still has to be run and proved. TidyTrack logs each clean on your client’s site and turns the logs into invoices.
How do the prices compare?
TidyTrack is Free for one site, $49 a month for five sites on Pro, and $149 a month for unlimited sites on Business. OpenWrench quotes per location per month; the savings calculator on its own website uses an example of $2,500 a month for 100 locations. The two products cover different work, so compare them on what you need.
