Compare junk removal and dumpster rental software
compared honestly.
The eight 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 eight vendors against their own sites and nobody else has them together.
Eight competitors, side by side. And us
Every competitor cell below comes from that vendor's own website, read on July 15, 2026 unless the cell says otherwise. Our own column is not a website check: it is what the product does today, September 30, 2026. Sources are listed at the bottom of this page.

And how the DRS column got filled in. It was mostly blank until DRS got a features pass of its own. That pass ran July 17, 2026, and the verified cells above were filled from it, mirroring the audited DRS comparison page. Two cells stay open: whether a first-time customer sees a price before booking, which their site implies but never states, and their AI features, which we have not checked yet. Those stay blank and labeled until we can verify them, same as everywhere else on this page.

Written up in full: DRS vs Docket
Four ways to charge a hauler
Before you compare numbers, understand the models. Three of these eight 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 by the job, not the month
$0 base. $1.50 per completed job, 1.5% platform fee on cards on top of Stripe's rate. 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.
The 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. You pay $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.
