Jobber and Housecall Pro can work well for simpler service businesses. Coil is built around the HVAC shop day: dispatch, customer and equipment context, memberships, payments, and AI office workflows on one record.
Full access for 14 days. No credit card. Cancel anytime.
This is an alternative page, not an attack ad. Whether you should switch depends on the kind of day your shop runs.
If your jobs are straightforward and the office is not chasing schedule changes, simpler tools may be all you need. Jobber and Housecall Pro are solid generalist tools, and we would rather say that plainly than waste your trial.
Check the numbers anywayWhen dispatch changes, tech context, estimates, invoices, memberships, and follow-ups need to stay connected in one place, the generalist stack starts costing you afternoons. Coil keeps them on one record, with AI that prepares the fix for your approval.
See the platformCredit where due: Jobber and Housecall Pro both publish their pricing, same as Coil. The differences show up in the seat math and what is in the box at HVAC team sizes.
Prices shown are monthly billing as listed on each platform's public pricing page; annual billing is cheaper across the board. Coil's Founding 50 cohort locks founder pricing of $39 / $139 / $299 for 24 months.
If a generalist tool already keeps your day clean, keep it. The switch earns its keep when HVAC context starts paying for itself: the equipment history on the job card, the membership visit that books itself, the no-cool reshuffle handled in one approval. And if you are running 30+ trucks across multiple trades, ServiceTitan is built for that scale.
This is what "outgrowing" looks like in practice: dispatch, tech context, estimates, invoices, memberships, and follow-ups all needing to stay connected in one place.
A no-cool jumps the line. Coil proposes the schedule move, you approve, the board stays whole.
Equipment history, photos, and past notes reach the tech before the driveway, on the same job.
The approved estimate converts on the same record. Payment logs against the same job.
The membership visit and follow-ups come off the same customer record, not a separate list.
Start with the calculator or the dispatch audit before committing to a new workflow. Both are free, and neither asks you to move a single job.
