Will I get sales calls from movers?

No. MovePlan does not sell your address or move date to third-party movers. The product is funded by the optional $19 upgrade, not lead-generation.

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.

How long does it take to generate a plan?

About 60 seconds. You answer 5 short questions (move date, home size, origin, destination, what you need most help with) and MovePlan generates a personalized plan.

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.
