Real budgets from 48 moving help jobs posted on GigNGo — not estimates.
Based on 48 moving help jobs posted on GigNGo nationwide. Updated October 2026.
Moving help is usually priced per worker per hour. A one-bedroom apartment takes a small crew a few hours; a full house takes a larger crew most of a day.
A move across town costs less than a long-distance one, where drive time or mileage becomes part of the price.
Walk-up apartments, long carries from the truck, and specialty items like pianos, safes, and appliances add time and sometimes extra fees.
Real moving help jobs, each posted by the local who did the work. GigNGo doesn't run background checks, and a clip isn't one: it shows how someone works, not who they are. Where your state licenses this work, check the license too.
The figure above is what the job itself costs. What you actually pay depends on where you book it, because most platforms add something — and where that something lands, on you or on the person doing the work, is the real difference between them. These are the published fee structures, not our estimates of them:
Based on 48 moving help jobs posted on GigNGo, the median budget is $150. Most jobs fall between $100 and $250, and the full range runs from $40 to $500.
The main factors are amount to move and crew size, distance, stairs, elevators, and heavy items. Describing your job clearly when you post it helps local workers give you an accurate quote the first time.
Post a task on GigNGo describing the work, your location, and when you need it done. Local workers nearby respond with offers, and you can compare their reviews and prices before choosing. GigNGo does not charge booking fees, and local workers keep the full amount you pay them.
Yes — labour rates and travel time differ by area, so a city figure will not match a rural one. We report one national median of $150 rather than per-city numbers, because a "median" drawn from two or three jobs in one town is noise wearing a decimal point. The national median is the number we can stand behind, and the middle-50% range ($100–$250) is where most jobs land. For your own area, posting the job is the accurate way to find out.
Two reasons, and only one of them is the work. The first is genuine: amount to move and crew size, distance, stairs, elevators, and heavy items. The second is the platform. On sites that charge for leads, the person quoting has already paid to reach you and prices that in; on ones that take a commission, the cut is inside the number you see. GigNGo takes no commission and no lead fee, so the price you agree with a local is the price they keep — there is nothing added on our side for them to recover.
