Stay on top of every site CSG cleans for you, verify the work, ask for more, and talk to your service team without leaving the app. For over 30 years CSG has delivered janitorial, facility support, and specialty cleaning to grocery, retail, distribution, restaurant, office, gym, and healthcare facilities across the country, with national capabilities and a community-driven approach.

MESSAGE YOUR CSG TEAM Talk directly to your district manager, service provider, and cleaning crew. Each service request gets its own conversation so nothing gets lost.

SECURE, PASSWORDLESS SIGN-IN No passwords to remember. Sign in with a one-time passcode sent to your phone number. BUFR is intended for active CSG customers and team members. An account provisioned by CSG is required to use the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CSG BUFR at free against Salesmsg's freemium. CSG BUFR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Salesmsg's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CSG BUFR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Salesmsg has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
