Choose on experience, service and price.

Lockstep Animated is our lower-priced entry option: item-based sizing, branding, store prices, multi-site GEO and real-size AR on compatible phones, without unit photographs. One per-facility rate covers all supported storage services, including mobile storage.

Lockstep Bespoke adds tours built from your unit photographs, empty and furnished views, and walkthrough videos. We prepare the build and provide a free preview before you decide.

CalcuMate3D also provides interactive animated sizing. Compare the features your customers will use and the connections your website needs, alongside the subscription price.

Comparison reviewed 2 November 2026. Features and prices may change. “Not listed” means not described on the supplier pages reviewed, not an independently tested absence. The £34 self-storage and £69 mobile-storage GBP references were supplied for this comparison; confirm current pricing with CalcuMate.

Check the booking connections before switching.

Adding an embed to a page that supports custom HTML usually takes a few minutes. We supply the code and coordinate with your website contact.

A dedicated platform connection can involve more. If you use CalcuMate-specific unit buttons, availability or booking links, tell us before replacing them. Stora documents a dedicated CalcuMate setup; we check your requirements rather than assume the same connection transfers.

Before you ask.

Which product should I choose?

Animated gives customers item-based sizing, branded animated units and real-size AR on compatible phones, without unit photographs. Bespoke adds photographed interactive tours and walkthrough videos. Compare pricing and inclusions.

Can I try Lockstep Bespoke before subscribing?

Yes. Review your free preview, then approve it and start your subscription or request a 14-day live trial by email. The trial starts after your approved installation is live and checked. It has no subscription charge or automatic paid conversion. Confirm by email to continue; otherwise we deactivate it. Any agreed switching credit starts with the paid subscription.

What do you need from us?

Animated needs your business name, main colour or website, each store’s name, area and postcode, and prices per size, marked weekly or monthly. Bespoke also needs unit dimensions and photographs; we send the photo instructions. You can enquire before gathering the setup details.

Can you arrange professional photography?

Yes, subject to location and availability. We can arrange a capture partner and quote photography and suitable drone footage separately, with an upfront charge agreed before booking. Interactive facility maps are available only as part of this requested photo-capture package.

What if an agency manages our website?

We provide the embed and coordinate with your website contact. On a page supporting custom HTML, adding the code usually takes a few minutes. Booking-platform placement and any dedicated connections are reviewed first.

Already paid annually for CalcuMate?

Eligible unused annual fees can qualify for a Bespoke switching discount, capped at six months’ worth. We need your invoice and prepaid end date and confirm the payments before you commit. The offer does not automatically apply to Animated. Read the eligibility and worked example.

Does the calculator guarantee everything will fit?

No. Size recommendations, furnished views and AR are guides. Check critical dimensions, oversized items, openings, weight limits where relevant and packing requirements before confirming suitability.

Are branding, AI guidance and GEO included?

Animated includes your business name, main colour and multi-site GEO. Bespoke includes optional operator branding and an optional AI tour guide; multi-site GEO is separately scoped. Both subscriptions include analytics and monthly reporting.

How does “See it in your room” work?

In the Animated example on a compatible phone, open “What’s inside?” and choose “See it in your room.” Place the unit at real size on your floor and explore empty or furnished views. No app or headset is required; camera permission applies. The AR feature uses no cookies and collects no customer data. Separate calculator analytics and enquiries are not covered by that AR statement.
