Snap photos. Get photo based estimated volume and price ranges in seconds. Pay only when you use it — $5 per estimate or save up to 70% with credit packs. Exact price is determined onsite by how much the items fill the truck.
No monthly fees draining your account. Buy credits when you need them, use them when you're ready. Each estimate costs one credit.
Your credits never expire. Take a week off, take a month off — your credits are still there when you get back. No subscription ticking away.
Buy bigger packs and pay as little as $1.50 per estimate. A 50-Pack is $100 — that's $2 per estimate for your entire summer rush.
Every estimate carries risk. Quote too high, you lose the job. Quote too low, you work for nothing. There's a better way.
You're leaving real money on the table. Underestimating a hoarder situation or a load with heavy appliances can cost you hundreds per job.
Customers compare prices. If you're over-quoting out of caution, you're handing jobs to competitors who are pricing more confidently.
Driving out just to give a ballpark number burns time, fuel, and money. Most jobs can get a reliable photo based estimate without a site visit.
Four steps. No site visit. No guesswork.
Snap 3–5 photos of the job site from different angles. Label each by room for maximum accuracy.

Our AI doesn't claim to see through piles. Here's what it actually does.
60+ common junk removal items with real L×W×H dimensions. The AI recognizes these items in your photos and uses their known size as measuring references.
The AI uses known-size objects as rulers — a couch at 84×36×34 inches, a door at 80×32 inches, even electrical outlets and wall studs at 16" spacing. More reference points visible = better calibration.
Every estimate shows which items were detected. You can uncheck items that stay, adjust the scope, and the price recalculates instantly. The AI assists — you decide.
Pricing is the #1 challenge for new junk removal operators. One bad quote can cost hundreds. WhatShouldICharge gives you the confidence of a 10-year veteran from your first job.
Most new operators spend 6-12 months losing money on bad estimates before they learn to price correctly. Our AI has measured thousands of items with real dimensions. Upload photos and get a data-backed price range immediately — no experience required.
Set your own $/CY rates for standard and heavy loads. The AI calculates volume — you set the price. Track actual vs. estimated to refine your rates over time. Build profitable pricing habits from day one.
Start with 5 free estimates. A 5-Pack is $20 while you're building your client base. As you scale, a 250-Pack brings it down to $1.50 per estimate. No monthly software fees eating into your margins while you're getting started.
Add our AI estimator to your website. Customers upload photos and submit their contact info. You get the estimate and the lead — follow up with a professional quote.

Get on the WaitlistWhatShouldICharge was built by Kevin Hayford, a junk removal operator with over 10 years of field experience in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. After thousands of jobs — and too many underpriced estimates — he built the tool he wished he'd had starting out: an AI that estimates volume from photos so operators can quote with confidence from day one.
WhatShouldICharge is an AI-powered estimation tool built specifically for junk removal businesses. Operators upload customer photos and receive photo based estimated volume, itemized breakdowns, and photo based estimated price ranges in under 30 seconds — without visiting the job site.
The AI uses spatial reasoning with a reference library of 60+ common junk removal items (furniture, appliances, electronics, construction debris) with real-world dimensions. It identifies items in photos, measures them against known references, and estimates total volume from photos. Photo based estimated price ranges are based on each operator's own $/CY rates for standard and heavy loads. Exact price is determined onsite by how much the items fill the truck.
Pricing is pay-per-use with credit packs — no monthly subscriptions, no contracts, no cancellation fees. A single estimate costs $5. Credit packs reduce the cost to as low as $1.50 per estimate (250-Pack for $375). Credits never expire. New accounts include 5 free estimates with no credit card required.
WhatShouldICharge also offers an embeddable customer widget that junk removal companies can add to their websites. Customers upload photos and submit contact info, and the operator receives the AI estimate along with the lead — each submission uses one credit.
The platform is expanding beyond junk removal to serve dumpster rental, cleanout services, moving, and other volume-based industries.
