COMPARE
No marketing table. No featurelist bingo. Here's why Mory is different — and when Mory isn't the right choice for you.
THE FOUR ALTERNATIVES
Each tool type has its place. But none of the four is built for the daily reality of cleaning operations the way Mory is.
Apps for freelancers and individual time logging
What they do well
Simple hour tracking for one person, fast invoice export to your accountant.
Where they fall short
The difference with Mory
Mory is built for cleaning teams with managers, cleaners and clients — not for solo freelancers.
Generic shift planning + time tracking across all industries
What they do well
Scalable planning, advanced shift models, payroll integrations.
Where they fall short
The difference with Mory
Every Mory feature is born from a cleaning problem in our own operation.
Accounting software with time registration as a byproduct
What they do well
Invoicing, financial reports, VAT filing, seamless link with your accountant.
Where they fall short
The difference with Mory
Mory puts the cleaning operation at the center and exports to your bookkeeping — not the other way around.
Bespoke ERP or internal system for a single company
What they do well
100% tailored to one organization, custom workflow precision down to the detail.
Where they fall short
The difference with Mory
Mory delivers 80% out-of-the-box; for specific extensions there's Mory custom — without vendor lock-in.

REAL SCENARIOS
Three everyday situations in a cleaning company — and what the different tools do with them.
No detection. Only visible when the cleaner fills in their timesheet — usually end of the week.
Sometimes planned-vs-actual detection, but manual correction via manager.
Not visible until timesheet export on Friday.
Depends on what the vendor has built — usually no real-time detection.
Auto-detection within 10 minutes. Manager + cleaner get a notification. One tap to clock in retroactively via app or NFC.
No module for client complaints.
Manually logged in chat or email, no link to shift or cleaner.
Not built in.
Varies — only if the vendor specifically built this.
Logbook entry directly linked to client, location, shift and cleaner. Audit trail preserved for future audits and client reports.
No CAO engine, no break tracking.
Generic ATW check, but no CAO Cleaning-specific rules.
Only hour totals, no break details.
Varies — often only the part built that was explicitly requested during implementation.
Per-employee audit trail with breaks, hard/soft violation classification based on CAO Cleaning 2024-2026 + ATW. One-click export.
WHERE WE EXCEL
Not everything. But the things that matter for cleaning companies.
Other tools claim CAO support, but on inspection it turns out to be a generic checkbox for 'Dutch working hours law'. Mory's compliance engine is purpose-built for CAO Cleaning 2024-2026 — including break rules per shift length, ATW limits, and the distinction between hard violations (legally breached) and soft warnings (CAO peculiarities).
Every week, every employee is automatically checked against these rules. No more manual Excel checks before an audit, no calls to your accountant to look up CAO limits. Live engine, built in, transparent.
Half of time-tracking tools are desktop-first, with a token mobile app added as an afterthought. Mory is built the other way: the cleaner app is the primary interface, with two-second NFC clock-in, offline mode for locations without coverage, and push notifications for shifts starting soon.
The web app is for managers and owners — for cleaners, mobile is enough. One-handed use, large tap targets, minimal typed input. Because a cleaner is standing on-site in gloves, not behind a desk.
Mory was born inside Multidiensten DM, a Dutch cleaning company operating since 1998. Every feature has a daily trigger in our own operation. Anomaly detection? Built after we analyzed three months of GPS data to see systematic deviations. Logbook? Existed first as an Excel sheet at our company before it became a module.
No feature is dreamed up in an ivory tower. We use Mory ourselves, every day. If it doesn't work for us, it doesn't work for you — and that's a much sharper quality check than any software team can organize.
No 'contact us for pricing'. No hidden implementation costs. No 'enterprise' tier where the real features live. On /prijzen you see live what you pay per month: users × their role rate + modules + contract discount. Two free modules (Time Registration and Planning) are always included.
14-day trial, no credit card. Cancel whenever — no auto-renewal, no notice-period traps, no vendor lock-in. Data export is always available in standard formats.

HONEST
No sales pitch. Here's when Mory fits less well and you're better off looking elsewhere.
You're a solo cleaner or freelancer without a team. A freelance time-tracking app is cheaper and just as effective for your situation.
You have 200+ employees with existing payroll systems deeply integrated into your workflow. General WFM platforms have broader out-of-the-box integration matrices.
Your business is 80% invoicing and 20% planning. A bookkeeping package with a time add-on is then more logical.
You have €40,000+ budget for a fully custom ERP and want 100% ownership. An external custom partner can deliver a fully tailored system.
You don't work in cleaning. Mory is built for cleaning companies; other industries have better-positioned tools.
DOES MORY FIT YOU?
30 minutes on your scenario. No sales pressure, no questionnaires. Then you'll know yourself.
