Tank Track is a well-liked septic product with more than a decade in the trade, a published per-truck price and no contract. Operators usually start looking elsewhere for one of four reasons: the fleet is outgrowing the size Tank Track describes itself as built for, they want GPS on the tank lid, they need a state form Tank Track doesn’t ship, or they run trades beyond septic and grease. This is an honest look at what else exists — with prices printed and every claim linked to the vendor’s own page.
Written by RouteHouse, who make one of the products on this list. We’ve said so at the top rather than the bottom, and we’ve included the places Tank Track is the better choice.

Tank Track facts from tank-track.com, its FAQ, its Ohio and Texas form pages and Capterra, verified 17 October 2026. RouteHouse figures from our septic pricing. Year 2 free is a limited-time offer; see payment terms.
Tank Track ships one plan with everything in it, so the fair comparison is RouteHouse Pro — the plan with GPS lid mapping, manifests and state forms. Totals over two years, before tax:
| Fleet | Tank Track, monthly | Tank Track, annual | RouteHouse Pro, monthly | RouteHouse Pro, Year 2 free |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 truck | $4,320 | $3,888 | $7,176+ $299 setup | $2,988 |
| 5 trucks | $18,720 | $16,848 | $35,880+ $299 setup | $14,940 |
| 10 trucks | $36,720 | $33,048 | $71,760+ $299 setup | $29,880 |
The honest read. If you will only pay month to month, Tank Track is cheaper than RouteHouse Pro — by a lot. If you’ll pay for the first year up front (or 25% down), Year 2 free makes RouteHouse Pro the lower two-year number at every fleet size above, and it doesn’t stop at ten trucks. If you don’t need lid mapping or manifests, RouteHouse Growth is $179 a truck monthly or $1,788 a truck for 24 months.
Tank Track totals use its published $180 / $150 pricing and 10% annual discount. RouteHouse totals use Pro at $299 per truck monthly and $2,988 per truck for 24 months on Year 2 free.
Tank Track is the better answer in the real cases below — we’d rather you buy the right thing than buy from us.
Your fleet is past ten trucks or headed there. Your techs lose time hunting for buried lids, especially under snow. You need the Maryland property-transfer form. You run sewer and drain, wells or portable restrooms out of the same office as your pumping. Or you’re willing to prepay a year and want the second one free.
If none of that describes you, Tank Track is probably serving you fine.
1. Where is the truck limit today? Their FAQ says Tank Track is “ideal for septic pumping and service businesses that manage between one and ten trucks” and that support for more than ten is intended “in a future update.” A January 2025 Pumper spotlight said up to 15. Their newer pricing calculator goes higher. Ask what happens at your size.
2. Which price is current? The homepage shows $180 and $150. Capterra and the homepage’s own search markup still show $149 and $125. Get the number in writing.
3. Can it pin the lid? We found tank type, capacity, location and depth as imported fields, but no GPS pin captured at the lid and navigated back to on the next visit.
4. What’s billed outside the subscription? Payment processing is a $15-a-month add-on plus 2.6% per card and $3.99 per ACH transaction, and their FAQ says cleanup of imported data is a separate hourly service.
5. How does the refund work? The FAQ offers a 60-day money-back guarantee; the terms of use say charges are non-refundable unless stated otherwise. Ask which applies to you.
Septic pumping software built with a working septic operator, from the paper pumping report crews already fill out: gallons, the full checklist and photos captured on a tablet, and the report emailed before the truck pulls away. Works offline at the tank. Pro adds GPS pins on every buried component, manifests and trip tickets, and the Maryland OSDS property-transfer inspection. Grease trap service is included on every septic plan, and sewer & drain, wells and portable restrooms run on the same login.
The honest weakness is that we’re new — no review-site history and no Ohio or Texas forms yet. What you get instead is per-truck pricing with no fleet ceiling, and a product that changes when you ask.
Flat monthly bands — 1–3 trucks, 4–10, 11+ — with no per-user fees, no contract and a first month free. Septic, grease and restrooms, with state-specific manifest profiles. The closest thing to Tank Track on price simplicity, and it doesn’t stop at ten trucks.
Like us, it’s early, with no Capterra reviews. Do the arithmetic on your own fleet: a flat band is cheap at the top of a band and expensive at the bottom.
The established name in portable sanitation, with septic, grease and roll-off alongside. 51 Capterra reviews averaging 4.0 — the deepest independent review base in liquid waste. If restrooms are most of your business, it belongs on the list.
It’s the opposite of Tank Track on terms: no published price, an annual contract, and implementation its own site puts at six to twelve weeks. Our ServiceCore alternatives page goes deeper.
The lowest published entry price here. Septic and grease, with offline data capture and the ability to assign coordinates to septic systems, per its own site.
The price grows with headcount rather than trucks, so check what your office and crew add before comparing it to a per-truck number. No Capterra reviews.
A broader field-service and liquid-waste platform, and one of the alternatives Capterra lists next to Tank Track. It has the strongest review score of anything on this page.
Pricing is by request, so you’ll need a sales call to compare.
Tank Track is month to month, so there’s no contract to wait out. The hard part is the data and the first week, and we take both.
