For those lacking in arm strength or who don't own large enough vehicles, the Lugg app is ideal. Developed by a startup based in San Francisco, the mobile application gets you help with anything as long as it fits in the back of a pickup or box truck. So the next time you need help picking up a Craigslist couch, this moving service app should be your go-to. Lugg has a base fee of $35 with an additional cost of $2.50 per mile and $0.50 per minute traveled. The average cost is $40 to $65 per move, according to the new company. The drivers keep 80% with the remainder going back to Lugg. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **On-demand Moving Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a mobile app that connects users with professional movers for all their moving needs. - **Ridesharing Economy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform that allows people with large vehicles to offer their services for moving furniture and heavy objects. - **Convenience Apps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build an app that enables users to easily hire help for various tasks, such as moving furniture, cleaning, or running errands. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Logistics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement technology solutions to optimize last-mile delivery and provide more efficient moving services. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced tracking and navigation systems to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of on-demand moving services. - **Gig Economy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform that connects freelance movers with clients looking for affordable and convenient moving services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aggregated On-Demand Service Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finishd-app.md) - [Full-Service Relocation Shipments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimoves.md) - [Tow-Truck App Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyft-2.md) - [Local Delivery Planning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delivery-route-planner-app.md) - [Localized Food Delivery Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/localized-food-delivery-app.md) - [E-Bike Parcel Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axlehire-parcel-delivery.md) - [Neighborhood Storage Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacemate.md) - [Ultra-Modern Multifunctional Luggages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luggical.md) - [Car Transfer Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daytrip-app.md)
