If you want a WebSelfStorage alternative, compare tools on three things: price you can see, contract terms, and fit for your size. Stitch Storage is one option for independent owners with 30 to 300 units: $39 to $99 a month, no contracts, and a free migration in 48 hours.

We make Stitch Storage, so read this page with that in mind. Every WebSelfStorage fact below comes from its own site or a press report, dated as of October 2026. Where we found nothing, we say so instead of guessing.

Who uses WebSelfStorage, and why it is a good product

WebSelfStorage is a cloud management platform from eMove, Inc., offered through the U-Haul Self-Storage Affiliate Network. It connects facilities to reservations on uhaul.com. Its site does not state a size limit.

Its strengths are real:

  • Published flat price. $44.95 per month, or $34.95 for U-Haul dealers, on its own site.
  • U-Haul connection. It links facilities to uhaul.com reservations.
  • Features. Web and mobile access, card and e-check processing, online reservations, tenant insurance, a customer portal, texting and reminders.
  • Multi-facility reporting and gate and kiosk interfaces.

If this describes what you need, staying with WebSelfStorage can be the right call.

Reasons an owner might look for an alternative

We list only reasons we can source from public pages. None of these is a verdict on the product.

  • You are not a U-Haul affiliate. The product is built around the affiliate network, so owners outside it may want a tool that is not tied to one marketplace.
  • Features you want are not listed. We did not find lien workflows or a facility website on its homepage list.
  • Contract terms are not on the homepage. Ask for them in writing.

What to look for in any alternative

  1. A price you can see. Ask for the full monthly cost for your unit count, in writing, including payment processing.
  2. Contract terms. Month-to-month with no auto-renewal is easiest to leave. Ask how and when prices can rise.
  3. Features you use today. List what you do each week: online rentals, autopay, late fees, gate codes, lien notices. Check each one in a demo.
  4. A way out. Ask how you export your own data, and what it costs.
  5. Migration help. Ask who does the work, how long it takes, and whether you can undo it.

"WebSelfStorage" facts are from the sources listed on this page. A line that says "not listed" means we did not find it on the pages we reviewed, not that the feature is missing. Ask the vendor.

Who should stay with WebSelfStorage

Stay if: you are a U-Haul affiliate and the uhaul.com reservation connection is a main source of rentals.

Stitch Storage is not the right fit for large multi-site operators with hundreds of facilities or enterprise custom integrations.

How switching to Stitch works

  1. Request a full export from WebSelfStorage. We found no public export guide for WebSelfStorage as of October 2026. Ask support for a full export of tenants, units, ledger balances, payment history and documents.
  2. Start the 30-day free trial. No card needed.
  3. Send the export. Stitch does not have a WebSelfStorage-specific preset. We use the generic spreadsheet preset, which works from any CSV or Excel file with units, tenants, leases and balances.
  4. Review the validation report and dry run. Nothing live changes until you approve.
  5. Approve. Migration is free and takes 48 hours from a complete export. You keep renting from your old system until then.
  6. Roll back if something is wrong.

Units, tenants, leases and balances carry over. Balances appear as "Opening balance" entries in the ledger. Stored card numbers do not carry over, so tenants add a payment method on a secure form. Full steps are in how to switch from WebSelfStorage.

Say you have 120 units and 100 are rented at $95. That is $9,500 a month. After the dry run, check that the Stitch rent roll shows $9,500 before you approve.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your size and needs. For independent owners with 30 to 300 units, Stitch Storage publishes its prices: Starter $39 and Pro $99 a month. Owners who rely on WebSelfStorage's specific strengths may do better to stay.

How much does WebSelfStorage cost?

WebSelfStorage's own site lists $44.95 per month ($34.95 for U-Haul dealers) as of October 2026. Confirm the current price and what it includes in writing.

Can I move from WebSelfStorage to Stitch Storage?

Yes. Send a full export and Stitch loads it free in 48 hours. Stitch does not have a WebSelfStorage-specific preset. We use the generic spreadsheet preset, which works from any CSV or Excel file with units, tenants, leases and balances. There is a validation report, a dry run and a rollback.

Will my tenants keep their autopay?

Stored card numbers generally cannot move between payment processors, so tenants usually re-enter a payment method. We tell you which tenants need to.

Is Stitch Storage right for every facility?

No. It is built for independent owners with 1 to 3 facilities. It is not the right fit for large multi-site operators with hundreds of facilities or enterprise custom integrations.
