Why does the human have to turn up every day? You're the one who added that requirement. That's on you.
The moment you reduce it down to 10 visits per month you're already at $45 per visit.
Let's say 6 visits to different people per day and since there are 21 working days per month on average that is 21/10*6*$450 = $5785 or $70k in revenue per year.
You can't tell me that this wouldn't pay for an employee that doesn't require office space. Maybe $450 per month is too cheap and it has to be raised slightly, but this would pay for an entry level cleaner even in San Francisco.
Yes, like most things you can certainly get a cheaper service that provides less. As you say, the price is merely competitive if you only make use of the service twice a week. But for anyone who needs daily service, such as in-home aged care or disabled support, it is a bargain.
