Questions
Is the Move Calculator really free?
Yes. The wizard, the comparison, the equity calculator, the checklist — all free. We make money on the AI Agent ($99) and Concierge ($299) tiers when you decide to let us handle your move.
Is Movingly available yet?
The Move Calculator is live right now. The AI Agent and Concierge tiers launch with our iOS app. Get on the waitlist to be first when we ship.
How does the AI agent actually work?
We use Perplexity Computer — an agentic AI that can browse the web, fill out forms, compare options, and make calls on your behalf. It searches Zillow, books movers via real provider APIs, sets up utilities through carrier portals, and submits address changes through USPS. You see it all working in real time.
What if I don't trust AI with my move?
That's the Concierge tier. A real human is assigned to you, and they use Movingly's AI under the hood to move 10× faster than a traditional relocation service. You get the speed of AI with the warmth of a human you can call.
Why is this so much cheaper than a traditional concierge?
Traditional relocation concierges charge $2,500–$7,500 because everything is manual: phone calls, forms, scheduling, vendor coordination. Our AI handles 80% of that work in minutes instead of weeks. Humans stay focused on the decisions that need a human.
Where do the comparison numbers come from?
Real sources: Zillow for housing, IRS + state tax tables, BLS cost-of-living index, NOAA for weather, FBI UCR for safety, Walk Score, GreatSchools. For cities not in our pre-warmed cache, our AI agent looks them up live — that's why we ask for your email before showing custom comparisons.
