PODS
They drop off a container, you load it, they pick it up and move it or store it.
8 ft, 12 ft and 16 ft. Long-distance moves get the 8 ft or the 16 ft; PODS pitches the 12 ft for local moves. PODS says the 16 ft fits about 1,200 sq ft, the 12 ft 500 to 800 sq ft, and the 8 ft up to 500 sq ft.

U-Pack
A long-distance self-move: they bring a ReloCube or a trailer, you load it, they drive it.
No menu of sizes. The ReloCube comes in one size, 6 ft long, 7 ft wide and 8 ft tall on the outside, about one room. Or trailer space, sold by the linear foot on a 28 ft trailer. About 6 ReloCubes fill a trailer.
