Competitor Benchmark & Savings

Real local mover rates + fees — we beat the best price by 4-7%

Each competitor's total is modeled from their actual hourly rate × estimated hours + fees (extra mover added for 3 BR+). Our price targets 4-7% below the best (lowest) competitor — never below our cost-based total.

*Estimated total for a sample 3 BR move (7h, 3 movers). Actual quotes vary by job details.
