Common questions
- Do I need any experience?
- No. Ruunly is built for first-time owners. If you can clean a house, you can run Ruunly.
- What if I don't have clients yet?
- You can start your trial without any clients. Your website goes live with a book-now button so new clients can come to you.
- Is the 14-day trial really free?
- Yes — on the Starter plan. You start free for 14 days with no card. After 14 days, add a card to keep going or cancel — your data stays for 30 more days. (Pro and Growth plans need a card up front and bill right away.)
- What does $19/mo include?
- AI website on a Ruunly subdomain, client manager, recurring billing (weekly/biweekly/monthly), intake forms, estimates, and the client portal. Up to 25 active clients.
- Can I set different prices for deep cleans vs regular cleans?
- Yes. You can create unlimited service tiers — weekly, biweekly, monthly, deep clean, move-in/move-out. Each has its own price.
- Can I cancel?
- Yes, anytime, in one click from your dashboard. No phone calls, no retention scripts.
- Do you charge transaction fees?
- On Starter, we charge 2.5% on payments processed (plus Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢). ACH is 0.8% capped at $5 per transaction.
Don't forget the FL annual report
Filing your Florida LLC is step one. The state also requires an annual report — due May 1 every year, costing $138.75. Miss the May 1 deadline and Florida adds a $400 late fee. Miss it long enough and Sunbiz administratively dissolves your LLC, which wipes out the liability protection you paid to set up.
Ruunly tracks public Florida Sunbiz filings daily — every new LLC, every recent formation in your county — and surfaces them in our new businesses in Florida tool. The same pipeline that powers competitor research today is the foundation for automatic annual-report deadline reminders for your own business — so the May 1 notice does not sneak up on you.
