Which product fits your work?

Consider ScaleYourJunk as a GorillaDesk alternative when your next decision is about truck space, the onsite junk price or which container is committed across rental dates.

ScaleYourJunk is best for

  • Load estimates that carry into the onsite price agreement
  • Truck space and crew assignment
  • Containers committed across rental dates
  • Mixed junk and rental operations

GorillaDesk is good for

  • Repeat visits and reusable service templates
  • Customer-selectable estimate packages
  • AI across voice, SMS, website chat and portal
  • A solo operator or several trucks on recurring work

Junk-only operators should weigh estimating and crew workflow first; rental and mixed operators should weigh inventory and closeout.

Built for hauling

Three parts of the junk job to compare

Run your day

Price the actual pile. Plan the truck.

Record a before photo and the signed onsite price. Growth plans junk routes around capacity and dump stops, while rental routes remain manual.

See where your money goes

Record the dump costs. Review what remains.

Keep dump receipts, weight and costs with the work. Reports use recorded income and costs; the result still needs missing expenses and overhead. Growth adds truck-level analysis.

FAQ

Can I bring my records over?

Use supported CSV files with mapping and preview for customers, jobs, invoices, staff, trucks and expenses. Check fields and balances against your originals; containers, open rentals, messages and attachments need separate review.

What is included in the ScaleYourJunk subscription?

Both plans include the website or booking widget, customer records, dispatch, driver tools, invoicing, rentals and customer portal. Starter adds up to eight chosen AI hours daily; Growth adds longer coverage, automatic junk routing and more reporting/follow-up tools.

How do monthly and annual billing work?

Choose monthly billing or annual billing at 20% off. There is no setup fee or cancellation penalty; access continues through the paid period. Subscription payments are generally non-refundable. Card processing/platform fees are separate.

Will the AI quote my junk pickup?

It books junk visits during enabled coverage; your crew agrees the price on site. For rentals it can quote your configured rates and check availability. Dumpster routes remain manually arranged.
