Tobe Thompson was a software engineer, not a mover. One day he was sitting in the office of a friend's moving company and watched the dispatcher text the crew the inventory list, one item at a time, because their software had no digital inventory. "My head exploded," he said later.
In 2018 he flew to a moving conference in Arizona with nothing but screen designs on his laptop (SmartMoving). Those designs became SmartMoving. In 2022 it took a $41.5 million investment (Business Wire), and this year it said it powers more than 2,200 moving operations (Business Wire).
That dispatcher is still out there at plenty of moving companies. So is the owner on a three year contract for software his crew never opens. This guide is for both of them.
One thing first. Many "best moving software" lists you'll find are written by software companies, and some of them rank themselves first. We build websites and run ads for movers. We don't sell software, and nobody on this list pays us. So on October 9, 2026 we went through the official website of eight moving software companies and wrote down what an owner asks first: what does it cost, can I leave, and does it do what I need.
publish a price on their website
say month to month, no contract
published monthly prices
an interstate bill of lading must be signed before loading
What Each One Costs, And How You Leave
Price and contract come first because they're the two things you can't fix after you sign. Here's what each company says on its own website.
| Software | Price | Contract and trial |
|---|---|---|
| SmartMoving | No price Not published. The Smart Growth plan includes 3 office users and 3 crew app licenses. | 12, 24 or 36 monthsDemo. 90 day guided onboarding included. |
| Supermove | No price Not published. "You only pay for the crews that you need," with no limit on office users. | Not stated. Usually billed quarterly or annually.Demo. |
| MoveitPro | No price Not published. Pricing is given on a demo. | Not statedDemo. |
| Chariot | Price shown From $254 a month, with unlimited office users, crew users and texting. | Paid quarterly or annuallyDemo. Free data migration. |
| Elromco (MoveBoard) | Price shown $289 a month (3 office users) or $399 (unlimited office users). Unlimited crew on both. | Month to month, cancel any time30 day full refund. No setup fee. |
| Movegistics | No price Not published. Priced by number of users. Texting is $50 per 1,000 messages. | Month to month, no contractDemo. Free setup and data import. |
| Granot (HelloMoving) | Price shown $325 a month (up to 50 employees) or $495 (up to 100). Texting is $35 a month extra. | Term set in your order form. Renews automatically, fees non-refundable.Demo. |
| Moverbase | Price shown Free (10 jobs a month), then $29, $99 or $299 a month. Unlimited users on every plan. | Not statedFree plan. Free setup and training. |
From each company's own website on October 9, 2026. Prices change, so confirm before you buy.
Half of them won't show a price until you've talked to sales. That doesn't make them bad software. It does mean you should get the full number in writing, for your number of users and crews, before the demo ends.
What Each One Does
All eight cover the basics: leads, estimates, scheduling and invoices. These six features are where they differ most.
| Software | Crew app | Online quote or booking | Video survey | Interstate paperwork | Storage billing | QuickBooks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The Eight, In Plain Words
SmartMoving
Not publishedFounded by a software engineer after he saw a friend's moving company struggle with its old system. Took a $41.5 million investment in 2022 and says it powers more than 2,200 moving operations. Strong on sales follow up, estimates and the crew app. The catch for small movers: the shortest contract is 12 months, and prices are only given on a call.
Supermove
Not publishedBacked by an $18 million round led by Andreessen Horowitz in 2022. Calls itself "the operational core for enterprise HHG movers," and its Pro plan is "for larger moving companies." Online booking, a crew app, virtual estimates and storage billing are all there. Built for fleets that are scaling, not for a two truck shop.
MoveitPro
Not publishedAround for more than 15 years and says it has served "1,300+ moving companies" and "3.5M+ moves." Covers the daily basics well: digital bill of lading with finger signature, room by room inventory, video surveys through LiveSwitch, QuickBooks sync and automated review emails.
Chariot
From $254 a month, with unlimited office users, crew users and textingThe newest name here, launched in 2022 in New York. Says it "arms smaller moving companies with tools to help them compete." One price with unlimited users and texting is rare in this market. Crew tools run in the phone browser rather than an app, and storage billing was still marked coming soon.
Elromco (MoveBoard)
$289 a month (3 office users) or $399 (unlimited office users)The most open of the eight: real prices, no contract, no setup fee and a 30 day refund. Says its "founders came from the moving industry" and that "600+ moving companies" use it. The clearest interstate support on any vendor site we read, including a bill of lading with "every field the FMCSA requires."
Movegistics
Not publishedBuilt inside its founder's own moving company in California and founded in 2010. He left the moving business in 2016 to run the software full time. Covers local, interstate, international and storage, with pre-loaded tariffs and bills of lading, and says over 6,000 users rely on it.
Granot (HelloMoving)
$325 a month (up to 50 employees) or $495 (up to 100)In moving software "since 1994," the oldest name on the list. Includes uBook, so customers can book "even outside of regular business hours," plus storage billing, payroll and claims on the bigger plan. Read the renewal terms carefully before you sign.
Moverbase
Free (10 jobs a month), then $29, $99 or $299 a monthThe cheapest way off paper. Priced by jobs per month instead of users, with a free plan for 10 jobs. Its founder "has worked at moving companies." One warning from its own pricing page: "Free Moverbase accounts are often closed, and all data in the account is lost and unrecoverable." Start on a paid plan if your data matters.
Two more names you'll hear. Yembo isn't a full CRM. It's an AI video survey tool that turns a customer's phone walkthrough into an inventory and an estimate, and it works alongside other software (Yembo). QuoteIQ shows up on some moving lists. It was built by pressure washing business owners for home service contractors in general, and its own blog says it has no built in tariff based long distance pricing (QuoteIQ).
Find Your Shortlist
Answer four questions. You'll get the three that fit best, based only on what each company says on its own site, plus what to ask about on the demo.
Based on vendor websites as of October 9, 2026. Not a ranking of quality. Always book a demo and ask for references from movers your size.
If You Move Across State Lines
For interstate household moves, federal rules decide what paperwork the customer gets and when. Your software has to produce these documents correctly, or you end up doing them by hand. The main ones from 49 CFR Part 375:
A written estimate, signed by both of you
Based on a physical survey, which can be done "on-site or virtually" through live or recorded video. The customer gets a dated copy when you both sign (375.401, 375.103). On a non-binding estimate, the customer can't be made to pay more than 110% of it at delivery (375.405).
Two FMCSA booklets with the estimate
"Ready to Move?" and "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move." And if you have a website, you have to link to the DOT publication or show a copy of it there (375.213).
A signed inventory
A written, itemized inventory for every shipment, signed by you and the customer, with a copy to them before or at loading (375.503).
A bill of lading, three days early
The customer has to receive, sign and date it at least 3 days before loading, and can cancel it without penalty for 3 days after signing. It's signed again at origin and at destination (375.505).
Good news: these can be electronic. FMCSA rules allow required documents to be created, signed and kept electronically (390.32), and in 2022 FMCSA dropped the old "order for service" because the bill of lading already covered it (Federal Register). If most of your work is interstate, ask every vendor to show you their bill of lading and estimate on the demo, not just tell you about them. General information, not legal advice.
Seven Questions To Ask On Every Demo
"What's my total monthly price?"
For your exact number of office users and crews, with texting, payments and any add ons included. Get it in writing.
"How long is the contract, and what if I leave early?"
Terms on this list run from month to month to 36 months. Some renew automatically.
"Can I export everything if I leave?"
Customers, jobs, estimates and signed documents, in a format you can open somewhere else.
"Who moves my data in and sets it up?"
Several vendors include setup and data migration for free. Don't pay for what others include.
"What do you charge on card payments?"
Most platforms process payments. Ask for the rate per transaction, because it adds up over a busy season.
"Show me, don't tell me."
Ask them to build one of your real jobs live: the estimate, the crew view on a phone and the invoice.
"Can I talk to two movers my size?"
A three truck owner and a thirty truck operator can have very different experiences with the same software.
Junk Removal Software
Junk removal jobs are shorter and simpler than moves, so general field service software usually fits better than a moving CRM. All four of these have a page made for junk removal.
| Software | Cheapest plan | Free trial |
|---|---|---|
| Jobber | Core, 1 user: $49 a month with no commitment, less on a yearly plan | 14 days |
| Housecall Pro | Basic, 1 user: $79 a month, or $59 billed yearly | 14 days |
| Workiz | Not published | 7 days |
| Vonigo | Not published | Demo only |
What Software Won't Fix
Software runs the jobs you already have. It doesn't bring new ones. In SmartMoving's own 2026 report of 484 moving companies, the average close rate from lead to booked job was 39% (SmartMoving). Even a great system books only part of what comes in, so what comes in matters.
Where software does help with leads is speed. In a Harvard Business Review study of 2,241 US companies, firms that tried to reach a web lead within an hour were nearly seven times as likely to qualify it as firms that waited even an hour longer (HBR). Automatic texts and follow ups are worth paying for. They only work if there are leads to follow up.

FAQ
What is the best moving company software?
It depends on your size and the moves you do. Small movers often look at Moverbase, Chariot or Elromco because prices are published. Growing fleets look at SmartMoving, Movegistics, MoveitPro and Elromco. Larger operations look at Supermove, SmartMoving and Granot. If most of your work is interstate, check which ones produce the bill of lading, inventory and estimates the FMCSA requires.
How much does moving company software cost?
Of the eight companies we checked, four publish prices, ranging from a free Moverbase plan to $495 a month for Granot's Enterprise plan. Chariot starts at $254 a month and Elromco at $289. SmartMoving, Supermove, MoveitPro and Movegistics give prices on a demo. Ask for the total with your users, crews, texting and payment fees included.
Is there free moving company software?
Moverbase has a free plan for up to 10 quotes or jobs a month with unlimited users. Its own pricing page warns that free accounts are often closed and the data can be lost, so use a paid plan for anything you need to keep.
Do I have to sign a long contract for moving software?
Not always. Elromco and Movegistics both say they are month to month with no contract. SmartMoving offers 12, 24 and 36 month terms. Granot's terms are set in your order form and renew automatically. Ask about early cancellation before you sign.
What software do interstate movers need?
Software that produces the documents federal rules require for interstate household moves: a written estimate signed by both sides, the two FMCSA booklets, a signed inventory and a bill of lading the customer signs at least 3 days before loading. FMCSA allows these to be electronic. Elromco and Movegistics describe interstate documents most clearly on their sites.
What software do junk removal companies use?
Most use general field service software rather than a moving CRM. Jobber, Housecall Pro, Workiz and Vonigo all have pages made for junk removal. Jobber's Core plan starts at $49 a month with no commitment and Housecall Pro's Basic plan at $79 a month, and both offer a 14 day free trial.
