HaulHQ vs Junk-Desk

HaulHQ is hauling business software for junk removal and dumpster rental operators. It brings lead intake, job scheduling, payments, and customer follow-up into one service, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Leads can arrive through a zip-first form that sends instant text and email replies, or an AI chatbot that qualifies inquiries, gives price ranges, and books jobs. For dispatch, teams get drag-and-drop tools, a driver app, optional live crew location, and a calendar with arrival windows. Payment options include Stripe card payments, payment links, invoices, and on-site card, cash, or check collection. HaulHQ also offers two-way texting, automated follow-ups and Google review requests, and a customer portal accessed by magic link. A margin calculator estimates quote profit from disposal fees, labor, and fuel; revenue reporting is included. The free base plan has no monthly subscription, charges $1.50 per completed job and 1.5% on card payments on top of Stripe’s rate, with fees capped at $149/mo per service type. The first five jobs are free.

Junk-Desk combines quoting, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, rental contracts, customer management, and job cost tracking for junk removal and dumpster rental businesses. Its quote calculator builds load-based prices from disposal, fuel, labor, and overhead costs. The dispatch calendar handles jobs, dumpster drops, pickups, swaps, and crew assignments. Quotes can become invoices, and rental contracts can be sent for electronic signing. The site lists payments through Stripe, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App. Dumpster inventory can be marked available, out on rent, pickup due, or in maintenance. Job costs, expenses, cost breakdowns, and profit per yard are tracked. Plans are billed monthly: Basic costs $3.99 a month, Pro $6.99 a month, Business $12.99 a month, Team $15.99 a month, and Fleet $29.99 a month. Every plan covers both service types and includes a 10-day trial without a credit card. Afterward, unsubscribed accounts have trial access only. The software runs on Android, iOS, and the web.
