HaulHQvsBin Boss
read this before you read us.
Bin Boss is $99 a month, unlimited users, one plan, no demo call, built by a guy who runs a dumpster company in Ohio. They own two of the three legs and they beat us in eight places we list further down. Their pricing page says $99. Their Terms of Service add 0.75% on card payments. Ours adds 1.5% on top of Stripe's rate and stops at $149 per service type. Here is the whole thing with all the numbers in it.
Looking for a Bin Boss alternative? Start with one question: do you touch junk?
That is not a rhetorical setup. It is the entire decision, and if the answer is no, most of this page argues against us.
Cans are the whole business
Dumpster rental only, and you want one flat number that never moves.
- You never do a junk removal job and you never will
- You want unlimited users at a flat price, which they genuinely have
- Your customers pay cash or check, and you are past about 66 rentals a month
- You want one plan with no tiers and no upsell shelf
- Your books run through QuickBooks and you want that sync automatic
- You want a vendor who has been running Pack Mule Dumpsters while building this
You do junk too, or you might
Both verticals in one platform, priced by the job instead of by the month.
- You run junk and dumpsters, or you take junk jobs when the phone rings
- You want two way texting with customers, which they do not have
- You want review requests going out on their own, which they do not have
- Your volume is low or seasonal and a flat $99 in a dead February stings
The honest math, both directions
Their $99 is flat. Ours moves with your work and stops at $149 per service type. There is a crossover, and past it they are cheaper than we are. Put your own numbers in and find out which side you are on.
Bin Boss
Bin Boss Complete, month to month
HaulHQ
No plan to pick. Dumpster rental only, so one service type.
If you do not have a website yet
Bin Boss has no tiers and no upsell shelf, which is rare and worth saying plainly. They do sell websites separately, and that is the one line item that moves their number.
They will build you one
- Template site: $40/mo plus $99 one time setup. Their $99 becomes $139 a month.
- Custom site: $399 one time for the design, then $40/mo for hosting and management. Five pages, local SEO, location and service area pages.
- Both packages list their online booking integration as a line item in the package.
- Their booking does not need their website. Online Booking and the Booking Widget are both in the base $99 plan.
We will not, and that is a real gap
- We do not build or host websites. If you need one from your software vendor, they have a service and we do not. Go read their packages.
- If you already have a WordPress site, our plugin is free: booking, forms, the chatbot and a gallery drop straight into it.
- No setup fee, no hosting fee, no design fee, because there is nothing for us to host.
- This is a fair trade, not a win. It is only cheaper if you already solved the website problem some other way.

Where Bin Boss is stronger
Most of our usual arguments do not work on Bin Boss. They publish their price, they do not gate a demo, they have no upsell shelf, and their users really are unlimited. Here is where they beat us.
Past 66 rentals on cash, they are cheaper
If your customers pay cash or check, their platform fee never starts and their $99 is the whole bill. Ours keeps counting jobs until the $149 per-service-type cap. Past 66 rentals a month you are paying us more than them, up to fifty dollars more. That is a real operator and if it is you, take the cheaper one.
Unlimited, same as us, and we will not pretend otherwise
Unlimited admins, office users and drivers, stated in four places on their site. We say "unlimited users" as a differentiator against Jobber and Workiz. Against Bin Boss it is not a differentiator, it is a tie, and any page that implies otherwise is lying to you.
One plan, eight modules, no shelf
No tiers, no premium add-ons, nothing gated behind an upgrade conversation. Everything they build is in the $99. We have a cap, a per job fee and a card fee, which is three numbers to their one. Simpler is worth something and they are simpler.
Container tracking goes deeper than ours
Availability by size, placement visible on a map, damaged asset controls, storage lot tracking, per mile billing over a threshold. It is their deepest module and it is deeper than our inventory. If cans going missing is your problem, look hard at theirs.
They will build you one. We will not
Template at $40/mo plus setup, or custom for $399 plus hosting, with local SEO and service area pages. If you want your software vendor to also handle the website, that is a real service and we do not offer it.
An operator, running cans, in Ohio
Bin Boss came out of Pack Mule Dumpsters in Miamisburg. That is the same kind of credibility we claim from running our own junk removal company, and we are not going to pretend ours counts and theirs does not.
QuickBooks syncs. Ours does not
QuickBooks Online sync is in their base $99, not an add-on. We do not have it. You can export your data and hand it to your bookkeeper, which is not the same thing and we know it. If your books run through QuickBooks and you want it automatic, that is a real reason to pick them.
Routing and per mile billing, neither of which we have
Smart route optimization, plus auto billing per mile once you pass a threshold you set. We have no routing at all. If your cans are spread across a wide service area, that second one is quietly collecting money we would let you leave on the table.
What the difference buys you
Four things. If none of them matters to your business, we mean it: go buy Bin Boss.
Junk removal exists here
Load size pricing, a junk dispatch board, both verticals sharing one customer. On Bin Boss the word "junk" returns zero matches on the whole features page. If you take even a few junk jobs a month, that is not a feature gap, it is a second piece of software.
You can text a customer back
Real threaded two way texting (100 texts/mo free). Bin Boss sends outbound notifications: on the way, dropped, picked up. Useful, and one directional. When the customer texts back asking to move the pickup, nothing is listening.
Reviews go out without you
Automated review requests after the job. Bin Boss has none, verified. In this business the Google review count is the marketing, so that is a gap that compounds every month you do not notice it.
The bill has a floor and a ceiling
A month where you did four rentals costs you six dollars. Their $99 is the same in your worst February as your best June. And everything we charge, job fees and our card fee together, stops at $149 per service type. Their Terms put no ceiling on their 0.75%, so their bill keeps climbing with your card volume.
A lot of you should buy Bin Boss
More of you than on any other page we have written. We would rather say it than have you find out in month three.
Go with Bin Boss
- Dumpsters only, no junk, not now and not later
- Steady high volume where flat beats per job
- Your customers pay cash or check, so no percentage ever starts on either side
- Container tracking, routing, or QuickBooks sync is the thing you actually need software for
- You want your website and your software from the same place
- You want one number on the invoice and nothing to think about
Go with HaulHQ
- You do junk, or you turn junk jobs away because you have nowhere to put them
- Your volume swings with the season and you want the bill to swing too
- You want to text with customers, not just at them
- You want reviews going out on their own
- You are starting out and $99 a month before your first job hurts
The ones you were going to ask anyway
Yes. We had this wrong earlier and it is worth saying out loud: our own notes once said Bin Boss included about two drivers and charged fifty dollars for each one after that. That is false. There is no driver cap and no per driver charge anywhere on their site, and unlimited users is stated in four separate places. If you read that claim somewhere, including from us, it was wrong.
With no card payments at all, at 66 rentals a month. That is where our $1.50 per job adds up to their $99. Card payments move it, because we charge 1.5% and their Terms charge 0.75%, so the rule of thumb is rentals plus card volume divided by 200 equals 66. Past about $6,700 a month on cards, their total passes our $149 per-service-type cap, and since our bill cannot climb past that cap, we are cheaper at any rental volume from there on. If you take their website package too, that point arrives at about $1,300 a month on cards. Move the sliders above and it will tell you where you sit.
Section 3.4 of their Terms of Service, last updated March 30, 2026. It states that payments run through Stripe and that Bin Boss retains an additional 0.75% platform fee. No cap is stated, and it says the fee can change with notice. It is not on their pricing page. Both documents are linked in the sources below and you should read them rather than take our word for it. We are not going to characterize that beyond telling you which document says which number, partly because the same question lands on us: our 1.5% is a platform fee on top of Stripe's rate, not instead of it. Both fees are real. Now you have both numbers.
We do not know, and we are not going to imply anything about it. It is $99 today, we checked it on July 15, and we will check it again next quarter. If it changes, this page changes and the date at the top moves with it.
That is the honest edge case and it is the reason this page exists. If you are turning junk work away because you have nowhere to put it, that is revenue Bin Boss cannot help you capture at any price. If you are turning it away because you do not want it, they are cheaper than us and you should take the cheaper one.
Yes. Customers, jobs and invoices export any time. Ask Bin Boss the same question before you sign with anyone, including us.
