For years, software has worked off an assumption: that moving lags on tech, so the product didn't have to keep up.

That assumption was always shakier than it looked. Right now it's falling apart.

We wrote a piece about what's actually happening with moving software pricing, why the "premium" tier in many of these products does less work than the invoice suggests, and what operators should be asking at their next renewal.

– The difference between a fair premium and a status quo premium, and the one-question test for which you're paying

– Why "features vs. functions" is the lens that protects you from paying premium for what should be baseline

– What a vendor's dev-side (vs sales team) hiring tells you about where their energy actually goes

The technology is finally catching up to where good operators have already been.

For too long, vertical SaaS worked off a comfortable assumption: that moving was slow to adopt technology, so the product didn't have to keep up. That assumption was always shakier than it looked.

The data just blew up the MLS playbook.

For years, the moving industry has operated on one core assumption: 70-80% of our customers come from MLS listings.

After examining 2,300 actual customer records across 6 major metros, here's what emerged:

📊 Only 25-38% of moves connected to MLS data
🏠 62-75% of moves happen completely outside MLS visibility
📍 During off-season, MLS captures just 30%-41% of market activity

This isn't about MLS being "bad"—those customers absolutely need movers. But if you're focusing primarily on MLS direct mail, you might be missing a much larger opportunity.
