Senior Move Management Invoicing App (2026)
Senior move management is billed as hourly project work — sorting, floor planning, packing, unpacking, and cleanout — almost always to an adult child rather than the person moving. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) saves hourly and package rates, logs each session against the project, and sends one clear itemized invoice a family member can follow and pay from another state.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, taken from each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the solo move manager's money workflow — hourly and package billing, session logging, and invoicing a remote family payer — not on moving-company dispatch, truck logistics, or digital inventory catalogs.

The client and the payer are different people
The person moving is often in their eighties. The person paying is usually their child, in another state, coordinating by phone between work meetings. The invoice has to make sense to the second person while the service is delivered to the first.

What actually gets billed
- Initial consultation and plan — often a flat package
- Floor planning the new residence — a defined deliverable
- Sorting and downsizing sessions — hourly, the bulk of the work
- Packing and unpacking — hourly or per-day
- Move-day coordination — a day rate
- Cleanout of what remains — by volume
- Subcontractor coordination — at cost plus a stated fee
Invoice on a cycle, not at the end
Six weeks of work delivered as one invoice is a shock. The same total, invoiced every two weeks with sessions dated and described, reads as steady progress — and gets paid without a single difficult phone call.
Settle the payer at the consultation
Adult children, a parent, and sometimes siblings splitting costs. Ask directly at the first meeting and put the answer in writing — it’s an awkward two minutes that prevents a genuinely awkward month.
Frequently asked questions
Hourly or package pricing?
Hourly for sorting and downsizing, where the scope genuinely isn't knowable, and packages for defined pieces like a floor plan or a move-day coordination. Most move managers use both, and stating which applies to what is what keeps a large invoice from feeling open-ended.
Who should the invoice go to?
Whoever agreed to pay, named in writing at the start — usually an adult child, sometimes the person moving, occasionally split between siblings. It's probably the most important thing to settle in the whole engagement, and it needs to happen before the first session.
How do I keep a big invoice from causing alarm?
Invoice on a regular cycle rather than at the end, with sessions itemized by date and task. A month of work as one number is frightening; the same amount across twelve dated lines is a record of help provided.
Should I mark up subcontractors like movers and cleaners?
Coordinate them at cost with a stated coordination fee, or refer directly and stay out of the money. Marking up a mover quietly is how a trusted advisor becomes a middleman the family starts checking up on.
