Every detention app tracks your dock time. Only one carries the claim all the way to paid: logs the wait, builds the proof, bills the broker, chases the money, and escalates when they stall. Here's how GetDockPay compares to DMRG, DockClaim, and Detenly.

Logging your dock time is the easy part — the money problem is the broker who ignores the invoice. GetDockPay is the only app built for the whole fight: proof, invoice, relentless follow-up, and an escalation ladder for the ones who still won't pay. That's the difference between an app that tracks your detention and one that collects it.
Three things no tracking app gives you.
The claim goes out before you leave the lot, and silence gets automatically followed up — so unpaid detention doesn't quietly disappear.
Ignored claims don't just sit there. GetDockPay is built with a recourse path — demand letters and bond claims — for brokers who refuse to pay.
The Broker Pay Score shows which brokers really pay detention — and how fast — so you can decide before you're the one sitting unpaid at the dock.
For owner-operators who want to actually get paid — not just log wait time — GetDockPay is purpose-built for collection: it auto-tracks detention by GPS, builds a timestamped proof package, sends the invoice to the broker, chases it with automated follow-ups, and escalates unpaid claims. Apps like DMRG, DockClaim, and Detenly focus mostly on tracking and invoicing; GetDockPay is built to carry the claim all the way to paid.
Most detention apps track your time and generate an invoice, then leave the collecting to you. GetDockPay adds the parts that actually get you paid: automated follow-ups, an escalation path for brokers who ignore the bill, and a Broker Pay Score so you know which brokers actually pay detention before you book the load.
Yes — GetDockPay is free to start, and beta testers get the Pro tier free for life. No credit card required to begin logging and billing your detention time.
A Broker Pay Score rates how reliably a broker actually pays detention claims — percent of claims paid, average days to pay, and denial rate — so you can decide whether to take a load before you're sitting at the dock unpaid. It's unique to GetDockPay.
