MoverBase is a UK-based CRM and management tool designed specifically for removals companies. Unlike most of the platforms we compare, MoverBase genuinely understands the removals trade. So how does it compare to Move and Store?
This is perhaps our most nuanced comparison because both platforms target the same industry. We will be fair about where MoverBase has the edge and where Move and Store offers more.

Where MoverBase wins
MoverBase has been serving UK removals companies for longer than Move and Store, and that experience shows in several ways.
Established removals CRM
MoverBase has built its CRM specifically around the removals sales pipeline: enquiry, survey, quote, follow-up, booking, and completion. Their pipeline management and lead tracking are mature and well-tested by UK removals companies. If CRM is your primary need, MoverBase's focused approach is strong.
Industry knowledge and community
MoverBase has been in the UK removals market longer. They understand the industry's quirks, seasonal patterns, and common pain points. Their customer base provides peer insights and shared experience that newer platforms cannot yet match.
Survey-based quoting
MoverBase's quoting workflow is designed around the traditional removals survey process. If you conduct in-person surveys before quoting, MoverBase's survey-to-quote workflow may feel more natural for your existing process.
Where Move and Store wins
Storage management included
This is the biggest differentiator. If you offer self-storage or containerised storage alongside removals, Move and Store includes full storage management: unit types, occupancy tracking, customer agreements, and recurring billing. MoverBase's core strength is CRM and removals job management, not storage operations. If storage is part of your business, you would likely need a separate system alongside MoverBase.
Integrated payments via Stripe
Move and Store includes Stripe Connect payments on every plan. Customers can pay deposits and final balances directly through the customer portal. This reduces friction, speeds up cash flow, and eliminates the awkward “please transfer to this account” step. MoverBase's payment integration is more limited.
Free forever plan with no per-user charges
Move and Store's Free plan includes the quoting wizard, CRM, customer portal, storage, and payments at zero cost. Paid plans are flat-rate: £29/mo (Pro) or £79/mo (Scale) regardless of how many team members you have. MoverBase charges per user, which means the cost grows as your team grows.
Transparent pricing
Move and Store publishes every plan on its pricing page. No sales calls, no negotiation, no per-user surprises. Our software is straightforward enough that it does not require a sales team to explain — those savings go directly to you.
Automated Google Review collection
On Pro and Scale plans, Move and Store automatically requests Google Reviews from customers after completed jobs. Google Reviews are critical for local SEO in the removals trade. This automation is not a core feature of MoverBase.
Growth services
Move and Store offers optional growth services: a managed Google Ads pack (£50/mo) and professional website builds. If you need help generating leads as well as managing them, Move and Store provides that in one place.
Pricing comparison
Move and Store pricing
| Plan | Monthly cost | Transaction fee | Key inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | £0 forever | 5% | 5 active quotes, quoting wizard, CRM, storage, payments |
| Pro | £29/mo | 2% | Unlimited quotes, automated follow-ups, Google Reviews |
| Scale | £79/mo | 0.5% | Everything, free website build, dedicated onboarding |
MoverBase pricing
MoverBase pricing starts at approximately £30 per month for a single user, with additional per-user charges as your team grows. For a small team of three, the total cost is likely to exceed Move and Store's Pro plan. Full pricing details may require contacting MoverBase directly.

The bottom line
MoverBase and Move and Store are both genuine removals platforms, which makes this a closer comparison than the general field-service tools we cover elsewhere.
