What Bin Boss costs
Bin Boss publishes one plan on its pricing page, checked 2026-09-23: "$99/mo · No contract · Cancel anytime", "Flat $99 per month. Period. No per-user fees." The plan, "Bin Boss Complete", includes "Unlimited Admins & Office Users" and "Unlimited Drivers Included", which makes twelve months of software $1,188 at any fleet size. A website is an add-on: "$40 /mo" plus a "$99 Setup Fee" for a template site, or a "$399 one-time design fee" plus "$40/month hosting & management" for a custom site. The way in is a "Free demo" with "No credit card"; "No contracts ever. Bin Boss is month-to-month." A switch offer of a "$200 Account Credit" and a "Free Custom Website" is advertised. Bin Boss is based in Miamisburg, Ohio, founded by Todd Atkinson of Pack Mule Dumpsters ("Built by Operators, for Operators"), and its iOS app, "Bin Boss Dumpster Software" by STNS Solutions LLC, was first released on 2025-07-30.
Dumpster Controls takes the opposite approach: the software is free, with unlimited orders and unlimited users, and the only cost is card processing when a customer pays by card, 2.99% + $3.99 per transaction on the free plan, or 2.99% + $0.30 on the optional $169/month Unlimited plan. Pay by cash, check or any other method and there is no fee at all.

Why haulers switch from Bin Boss
$0 instead of $1,188 a year, for the same unlimited seats
Bin Boss deserves credit for a flat price with no per-user fee; $99 a month is $1,188 a year whether you run one truck or ten. Dumpster Controls is also unlimited users and unlimited drivers, at $0; the only cost is card processing only when a customer pays by card: 2.99% + $3.99 per transaction on the free plan, or 2.99% + $0.30 on the optional $169/month Unlimited plan.
Sign up now instead of booking a demo
Bin Boss's calls to action are "Free demo" and "No credit card"; a self-serve signup was not found on their home, pricing or features pages as of 2026-09-23. Dumpster Controls gives you the whole platform in under a minute, no card, no call.
AI that runs the office, not only a website chatbot
Bin Boss publishes an "AI Sales Assistant", a chatbot that answers customer questions and recommends sizes on your website, and describes routing as one-click optimization with no AI mentioned. Tresha, free, creates orders, dispatches drivers, completes deliveries, pickups and landfill runs, and reads your finances by chat or voice, and the dispatch board suggests routes with AI.
The parts a growing company asks for next
A public API, a marketplace, Canadian dollars and any language other than English were not found on Bin Boss's site as of 2026-09-23. Dumpster Controls includes a public REST API with signed webhooks, the Dumpster Net Hub marketplace, Canada in CAD on your own Stripe account, and English, Spanish and Portuguese on every screen, free.
What Bin Boss offers
In facts from Bin Boss's own pages, with the date we read each one in the sources below, and next to each one what Dumpster Controls does for the same job.
A flat $99 plan from an operator-founded company
Bin Boss is $99 a month, every feature, unlimited office users and drivers, month to month, from a company founded by Todd Atkinson of Pack Mule Dumpsters. Dumpster Controls also includes every feature with unlimited users and drivers, at $0, which is $1,188 a year less.
A real-time push to QuickBooks Online
Their QuickBooks page says "every new invoice, payment, and customer syncs to QuickBooks in real time", one way, QuickBooks Online only. Dumpster Controls syncs in the same direction and logs each export in a per-company sync log you can review.
A sales chatbot for your website
Their "AI Sales Assistant" answers customer questions, recommends dumpster sizes and helps customers book on your site. Dumpster Controls has a public booking page and widget, and Tresha runs your operation by chat and voice for your team.
Vendor-hosted websites
Bin Boss offers a template site for "$40 /mo" plus a "$99 Setup Fee", or a custom site for a "$399 one-time design fee" plus "$40/month hosting & management". Dumpster Controls includes a free website builder.
A switch offer
Bin Boss advertises a "$200 Account Credit" and a "Free Custom Website" for switchers (pricing page, 2026-09-23). Dumpster Controls is free from the first day, so there is no monthly bill to offset.

How we make money: only when you opt in, and the numbers are public. The software is free with unlimited orders and no per-order software fee. If you choose to collect a customer’s card payment through Dumpster Controls, the processing fee is 2.99% + $3.99 per card transaction on the free plan, or 2.99% + $0.30 (the standard Stripe rate) on the optional $169/month Unlimited plan. Take payment by cash, check, Zelle or any other way and you pay nothing at all. Beyond that, our revenue comes from the optional Unlimited plan and from equipment partners and sponsors advertising in the app and on our public directory; our marketplace, the Dumpster Net Hub, charges zero marketplace fees. Run your own business your way and you never pay to use the software. It’s the only model that lets a 1-truck owner-operator run on the same software as a 50-truck fleet.
