What ServiceCore costs
ServiceCore does not publish pricing: Capterra lists it as "contact vendor" with no free version and no free trial, and third-party estimates range from about $125 to $200+ per month depending on seats. ServiceCore also owns Docket (acquired May 2023), which prices per truck behind a sales demo.
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 ServiceCore
Dumpster-first, not porta-potty-first
ServiceCore grew up in portable sanitation and septic. Dumpster Controls was built for roll-off dumpsters and junk removal from day one: weight tickets, landfill costs, overweight charges, container tracking.
Price on the page
No "contact vendor". The software is free and 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.
Try it without a sales call
ServiceCore has no free trial. Dumpster Controls has no trial either, because it does not need one: the product is free, sign up and use it.
A marketplace they don't have
The Dumpster Net Hub lets you take overflow jobs from other haulers or sell jobs you can't serve, with zero marketplace fees on both sides.
Free means free. Forever.
We are the only full dumpster software in North America that is 100% free for every company size. Not a trial. Not a feature-gated freemium. Not a free plan capped at one truck. The whole product, unlimited orders and unlimited users, on the house.
How we make money: only when you opt in, and the numbers are public. The software is 100% 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. 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.
