Do I need to create an account?

No account required. Your plan is saved automatically and accessible by URL. You can also add your email so reminder emails can be sent.

Yes. Every task, room, budget line, address, utility, and box label is editable. You can add custom tasks, mark items done, and rearrange the plan to fit how you actually want to move.

Is a container rental cheaper than movers?

For longer moves, usually yes, because you do the loading. For very short moves a truck can still be cheaper.

What does the rental include?

Delivery, a month of access, and redelivery. Transport miles and extra storage months cost more.
