Free vs. low-cost

    Free Moving Company Software and What It Really Costs

    Most small movers start on free tools: a spreadsheet, a shared calendar, a phone and a payment app. They cost nothing until the business outgrows them, and then they cost leads, hours and paperwork. Here is what free covers, what it doesn't, and what the lowest-cost software built for movers includes.

    Is there free moving company software?

    Software built for moving companies is rarely free; "free" usually means general tools, a limited free tier or a trial. They can run a very small operation, but they leave out the moving-specific parts: inventory-based estimates, the Bill of Lading, a crew app and one record per customer. The lowest-cost option built for movers from MoveitPro is MoveitPro Lite, from $200 a month.

    • MoveitPro Lite from $200/month, published price
    • 1 office user + your whole crew
    • The full phone system and texting included

    The hidden costs of free

    1. 1

      Missed leads

      A call that goes to voicemail while you're on a job usually books with the next mover. See what it costs with the missed-call revenue calculator.

    2. 2

      Retyping

      The same customer typed into the calendar, the invoice and the payment app, with a mistake waiting in each copy.

    3. 3

      Paper on move day

      No Bill of Lading the customer signs on a phone, no photos, no record of who did what.

    4. 4

      Chasing payments

      Deposits and balances tracked by hand instead of on the job.

    5. 5

      A business that lives in one head

      When the owner is out, nobody else can find the job.

    How to choose low-cost moving software

    1. 1

      Add up the real monthly cost

      Subscription, phones, texting, add-ons and payment fees together, not the headline price alone. Our software pricing guide lists what to include.

    2. 2

      Check the moving-specific basics

      Inventory-based estimates, a Bill of Lading customers sign on a phone, and a crew app.

    3. 3

      Ask about switching

      Who moves your data over, what it costs, and whether you can test the import first.

    4. 4

      Make sure you can grow

      Moving up a plan should keep your data and history in place.

    Frequently asked questions
