Compare junk removal and dumpster rental software
compared honestly.
The seven platforms operators actually shop, next to ours. Real prices where they publish them. A blank where they do not. Checked by hand, dated, and sourced to the vendor's own site.
Junk. Dumpsters. A price before the truck shows up.
Most operators shopping software need all three. We checked all seven vendors on July 15 and nobody else has them together.
Seven competitors, side by side. And us
Every cell below comes from the vendor's own website on July 15, 2026. Sources are listed at the bottom of this page.

And why the DRS column is mostly empty. We verified their pricing, which is the most unusual in the category, and the two gaps they admit to on their own site. We have not put their features through a pass yet. Rather than fill that column from memory or from somebody else's page, we left it blank and labeled it. It gets done before their comparison page ships.
Four ways to charge a hauler
Before you compare numbers, understand the models. Three of these seven will not give you a number at all without a sales call.
Flat monthly
One price, unlimited users, pay it whether you did 4 jobs or 400. Simple, and genuinely cheap if you run high volume in one vertical.
Priced by how big you are
The bill moves with your team size or your can count. Hire a second person, or buy your 21st can, and the price steps up whether or not revenue did.
Book a call to find out
No number on the site. You give a rep your revenue and truck count before you learn what it costs, which means the price can be a function of what you just told them.
Pay when you get paid
$0 base. $1.50 per completed job, first 5 free at signup, 1.5% platform fee on cards. Capped at $149/mo per service type. Slow February costs you almost nothing. Big June is still capped.
The full breakdowns
One page per platform. Including the parts where they beat us.
Bin Boss
$99 flat, unlimited users, real book and pay checkout, built by an operator. If you only rent dumpsters and never touch junk, this is a fair fight.
Coming soonDRS
Priced by can count, which nobody else does, and bundled with marketing services. They admit on their own site that there is no customer portal.
Coming soonWorkiz
Claims 3,000 haulers. Removed their prices from the site in April. Has no dumpster anything, and two way texting is a separate purchase.
Coming sooniCans
The best container tracking in the category, $99 or $159, unlimited users, built by a guy running 600 dumpsters. Roll-off only, and booking runs through a login.
Coming soonTrashLab
Waste hauling operations with the strongest texting we found anywhere. No published pricing of any kind. Breakdown in progress.
Coming soonThe rules we hold ourselves to
A comparison page written by a vendor is marketing. Here is what we do so this one is worth your time anyway.
Vendor sites only
Every number comes from the competitor's own live site. We never source a rival's price from another rival's comparison page. That is exactly how the wrong numbers spread in this category.
Unclear stays blank
If a vendor does not publish it, the cell says "not published." We do not turn a hole in their marketing into an X on our page.
Dated, and re-checked
Every page carries the date it was verified. Prices move. When we catch a change, the date moves with it. We re-check the whole set quarterly.
We publish our own losses
Where a competitor is better, we say so on their page and in this table. Bin Boss ($99 flat) and iCans (from $99) are unlimited users, and at high volume in one vertical they beat our cap. iCans tracks containers better than we do. That is in writing on their pages.
The obvious objections
You should not trust it. You should check it. That is why every claim on this page is dated and points at the competitor's own page, so you can verify any line in about thirty seconds. We also list where they beat us, which is not something a page written to close you would do.
We re-check the whole set quarterly and update the verified date at the top of every page. Pricing in this category moves, and one of these vendors pulled their prices off their own site earlier this year. If you find a number here that is stale, tell us and we will fix it and re-date the page.
Because an X is a claim. If a vendor does not publish whether they do something, the honest answer is that we do not know, not that they cannot. Some of these blanks can only be resolved with a paid account on the other platform. If we get one, we will fill them in.
There is no monthly subscription, and the first 5 jobs on a new account cost nothing. That is a one time welcome, not a monthly allowance. After that it is $1.50 per completed job, plus a 1.5% platform fee on card payments that sits on top of Stripe's own processing rate. Job fees and our platform fee combined cap at $149/mo per service type. If you run junk and dumpsters, that is $298 at the absolute ceiling. A slow month is a small bill, which is the entire point of the model.
It depends on what you run. If dumpsters are your whole business and you never touch junk, Bin Boss ($99 flat) and iCans (from $99) are honestly strong, both with unlimited users, and at high volume in one vertical a flat plan can beat our $149/mo per-service-type cap. iCans tracks containers better than we do. If you run junk removal alongside dumpsters, or you want your customer to see a real price online before they book, we are the only platform in the table above with all three. Read the matrix, check the sources at the bottom of the page, and pick the software that fits the business you actually run.
If you only rent dumpsters and never touch junk, Bin Boss ($99 flat) and iCans (from $99) are honestly good and you should look at them. If you run four other trades besides hauling, Jobber's ecosystem is real. If you do junk and dumpsters and you want your customer to see a price before they book, we are the only one on this page who does that.
No demo. No sales call. Just start.
Your first 5 jobs are on us when you sign up, and you will not talk to anyone unless you want to.
