Where it sits in the data
Maids in Black's $112K in the last 30 days is higher than 99% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Marketplace” category (134 projects) it is higher than 98% (category median $308). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
My view: demand is clearest among busy professionals, families, and businesses that need recurring help with homes, apartments, Airbnb spaces, or commercial premises. The buyer is the person or organization requesting the cleaning service, and distribution would have to come through search, local discovery, referrals, and a clear booking or quote flow.
The hard parts are operational: recruiting reliable cleaners, scheduling coverage, maintaining service quality, handling support requests, and managing the promises attached to refunds. Local competition and any applicable cleaning, labor, business, and short-term-rental regulations would also need attention.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
The clearest operating pattern is a defined service area paired with simple online booking and quote requests. Maids in Black also makes its service promise visible through green cleaning, background-checked cleaners, reported reviews, and a re-clean or refund guarantee.
