What Move and Store offers
Built for the UK market
For a UK business, test addresses, GBP, VAT, date formats and support availability. Move and Store is designed for UK removals operators. Ask SmartMoving to demonstrate these requirements rather than assuming US-focused software cannot support them.
Transparent pricing you can check right now
SmartMoving lists plans and features. Ask its team for a current quote, billing terms, onboarding costs and any extras before comparing the total with Move and Store.
Move and Store publishes every plan on its pricing page: Free (£0), Pro (£29/mo), and Scale (£79/mo). No sales calls, no hidden fees, no surprises. We keep the software simple enough that we do not need a sales team to explain it; those savings are passed directly to you.
Self-storage management for UK operators
SmartMoving offers warehouse tracking designed for American moving company warehouses. Move and Store's storage management is designed specifically for UK self-storage operations: unit types, occupancy tracking, customer agreements, and recurring billing. If you operate containerised storage or self-storage alongside removals, Move and Store handles both in one platform.
Free forever plan
Move and Store has a free plan: no trial period, no credit card required. You get the quoting wizard, CRM, customer portal, storage management, and Stripe payments with a 5% transaction fee. SmartMoving has no free tier and no self-service sign-up.
